    The LED headlights are controlled by via CAN bus as such you need to buy the driving light loom from aToyota.
    Do a search hereand you will find information re connecting driving lights the latest model 150.

      Yes you need a wiring hardness from Toyota looks a little fiddly to Install think it’s only about $150 but there’s no cutting etc Just plugs in..

          Just going thru this on my new 2019 GXL (delivery in 3 weeks). Everyone is saying you need the Genuine Toyota harness due to the Canbus system on the new LED headlights. The harness looks (in the photos) like a comprehensive install. It runs across and then through the dash. Narva, and ARB both tell me this is the only safe way, as you run the risk of damage/warranty issues with the canbus. Toyota Harness is around $150 or $330 installed (with genuine matching switch) - not including lights. There's some pretty smart people in this forum, so sooner or later someone will find a way.

          Just realized - my $330 quote is - discard switch that comes with harness and fit aftermarket switch in existing "blank" to match other switches, no drilling into new panel.

            Dangerous thought...skip the high beam pick up altogether...Just an on/off switch in the dash...
            I'm trying to work out how to wire up a light bar on my '19 GXL...

              I think your better off using the genuine loom, it’s not cheap but then $136.00 is not a huge amount considering what we have paid for Prado itself.
              It is not hard to fit, buy a set of plastic trim removal tools to assist & follow the instructions that come with the loom. You end up with a nice & neat install that functions without issue. Plus you can run wires to the rear at the same time.
              I would suggest getting an switch to fit in one of the blanks instead of using the supplied switch (and drilling a hole in the dash) plus you then know more about your vehicle.

                This is great advice. I did most of the work myself to my 2013 Hilux and I learnt so much about it. Including swapping out front and rear suspension after watching a 2 1/2 minute video. Nothing more satisfying then saving money and learning at the same time.

                  I agree with Leethal.
                  I installed the Toyota harness myself, tossed their switch, and used a rectangular switch (from an accessories shop) that fits in a blank down by all the other light switches.
                  You can get the square ones now as an alternative. Just follow the instructions.

                    You can use any harness but you need to run the activation wires back to the headlight stalk anyway.
                    my issue is, I have the genuine harness, lights installed, but am trying to figure how to wire the Stedi switch to the harness. Got the dash illumination sorted but which ever way I wire the switch circuit, the green on/off indicator is backwards. Ie on when off and off when on. Any help would be appreciated.

                      Toopy, I am going through this problem now. Did you find a solution? What wire did you tap into for dash illumination?

                        About to do the same myself. With the stedi piggy back cable and square button onto a King's harness. Stedi instructions are shight. Need to see what others have done.

                          I believe the issue is the negative switching causes the Stedi switch operational light to work backwards and is best to not connect the activation on light wires.

                            I have recently completed the installation myself, with the Stedi piggyback addaptor on my '18 GXL.
                            Stedi's instruction that came with the piggyback plug itself is good, but not 100% comprehensive, still a bit of guessing to do. Let me know if you have any question and I'll see if I can answer given I just did it a few days ago.

                              Hi Desmondo
                              did you get this working, I have just installed the same but it is constantly on with low or hi beam , I have not used the stedi piggy back cable just scotch clipped to the green trigger wire on the stalk and green wire on the auto high beam, ?
