    I'm trying to wire my ditch lights on a single pole double throw switch.

    One throw as a "ON" and the other to be on only with high beams.

    But for the life of me I cannot find the High Beam Switch/Trigger.

    I've tired all five of these fuse junctions.

    Any ideas?

    That diagram you posted is not really a schematic for your 4Runner, it’s more of a concept drawing. You really need to look at an actual headlight wiring diagram of your model to do electrical mods safely.

    There are posts on this site of the 2020+ model year headlight wiring diagrams. You can search for them or maybe someone will chip in if they remember where they are.

    But you could check out the auxiliary lighting mods of @mynameistory and consult with him. See the switch drawing in this post as an example.

    The trigger connection to the high beam circuit could be the pin 1 black wire (SOL) that goes into one of your LED headlights. Tory may have some tips about implementing this mod.
    Also, make sure the relay coil has that diode installed in the direction shown, to snub voltage spikes when switching the relay.

    Thanks @ElectroBoy for the resource.
    I shot him a DM.

    Man I was so excited when I read the post. I ran out to my car at 11PM and tested the lines...but to no avail.=(

    Hmm, I am unfamiliar with the fuse box on the 20+ models. I used a fuse tap on one of the high beam fuses for mine, but I imagine that the projector shutter is set up differently than firing a 9005 bulb directly. The good news is that you shouldn't need too much current to activate the relay, but I'm sorry to say that I can't offer any direct experience here.
