Hi everyone,
thought I'd document my ipf's that I recently got at costco as I installed them. The kit is very thorough and seems like it is almost made for the FJ. My install is specifically on an arb, but should be applicable to almost any installation.
How the lights look
Close up of the reflector
Placed some clear bra material b/w the bumper and the light mounts
Mount the lights as desired
Lay out the wiring harness, one side is longer and that should be for the passenger side light.
Snake the 2 front light harnesses thru this hole
stick it thru the rubber grommet if you have an arb
Connect the light to the harness
use zip ties to tie down the harness
more zip ties
attach the 2 negative cables to this bolt
Drill a small pilot hole, and then mount the relay VERTICALLY. There is a screw provided in the kit that works great.
** not pictured**
attach positive wire to positive battery post, I had to split the ring and widen it to fit it over the original battery bolt
slit a hole in the fire wall and Snake the remaining wire with the 2 prongs through it
The wire should poke out through here
connect the wire with the 2 prongs you just stuck thru the fire wall and connect it to the interior harness.
Strip a little bit over a cm's worth of wire and pull the top left fuse in the fuse box, and hold wire in position so that it only touches the bottom tooth of the fuse, and replace the fuse. Do not let the wire touch both teeth of the fuse in which it would complete the circuit and would cancel out the whole purpose of the fuse.
A better and proper option is to use one of these, which I will get later on.

connect the button to the harness
place as desired, can replace with stock switch or tacoma switch
go back and tidy up all the wires and zip tie them down under the hood and in the foot well so nothing gets caught while you drive
All cleaned up and zipped tied out of the way, Looks like stock.
