    Was wondering if anyone knows any good shops who could install aftermarket headlights on a 5th gen in Dallas.

    It’s not a big job, the cost of labor might make DIY appealing. Otherwise most any should be able to pull such a job off as long as you got everything on-hand.

    The tougher part might be finding one that will install customer-provided parts, so you’ll have to ask around too.

    Worried about the wiring, specifically the add a fuse. Fuse box is different on 2023 trd pro, and I cant find any videos/posts saying what fuse to tap.

    2021+ fuseboxes need the add-a-fuse to point through the fuse box cover (so cutting plus re-sealing) if you want it tied to ignition.

    I can't speak for the specific headlights you're looking to install but wouldn't they ideally be plug-and-play without needing to mess with add-a-fuse?

    Morimoto xb evo headlights need an add a fuse for the drl. Has to be a fuse with switch ignition power 12 volt. No issue with cutting into the fuse box, I just don't know what fuse that is on 2023 trd pro.

    INJ, getting the polarity right points it out of the box and you may run into some vertical clearance issues but I don’t think I did with the one I bought off the shelf. (albeit I ended up not using it for my BriteBox)

    There is a diagram on the underside of the box and you just remove the fuse and plug in the add a fuse. Personally I wouldn’t cut the cover and just get the spacer from MinWin.

    What if I want to use the in cabin fuse box for my fuse tap frost free function? I have a 2015 and just received my xb evo's and have it torn down now ready to install but I already am using the inj fuse spot under the hood that they tell you to use.
