I used the Toyota issued paperwork for running wires. This does mean drilling the roof

Did you use the connector that toyota supplies with the full air dam kit? The one where you use a conical dill bit to make the hole in the roof? I think it was a gasketed feedthrough type of connector.

Also...do the brackets that you fabbed up replace these?

I'm not sure if these are part of the full air dam kit or not. Anyone know?

Thanks,

I never had the full kit I think those are the oem brackets. Also I used a stepper bit and a bit of pre drilling.

Re: DIY: FJ OEM Air Dam Light Mounts/Brackets

Is there less or more wind noise?

Re: DIY: FJ OEM Air Dam Light Mounts/Brackets

Does this one or the OEM add more wind noise?

Adding lights to the roof is going to add a little wind noise

This is the OEM air dam, with aftermarket lights that are the small size as the OEM lights.
