    Hi. Will be installing offroad lights in the grill using NFab mount and undecided round lights.

    My question is: Can I put a switch for the lights in place of the heated seat blank? Not sure what size would work if possible. Links would be appreciated. Thanks!

    All the blanks to the left of steering are full? This area is so much easy to wire.

    May be one day you can get after market seat warmers if you keep the heated seat blanks free.

    You’re definitely right about being easy to wire in that location. My tacoma uses that spot for my ditch lights.

    My thoughts on the other location would be an easy spot to switch off quickly if another vehicle is up ahead.

    On my TRD ORP I use this "Y" cable on one of the highbeam and that trigger the light bar and ditch lights relays. So when I switch to low beams they turn off. (Just sharing my ideas if that helps you in anyway.)

    I love that idea. And this can be done with OEM highbeams?

    Yes. My 2018 TRD ORP has OEM headlight housing. Only difference is I have switch halogen bulbs to LEDs.
