Hi folks, apologies if this was covered elsewhere. 2019/20 VX & KAKADU have dual LED headlight. Trying to find high beam trigger wire to connect to the relay to turn on recently mounted driving lights. Weird arrangement for these LED headlight so unsure where to find wire to send power to the relay so spotties turn on. Anyone done it?

Thanks. The auto electrician is buying a wiring loom from Toyota to link the spotties to high beam. Another $150.Prado GXL 2012 Charcoal - Drifta Drawers, Cargo Barrier, Sidewinder Dual Battery kit, Ironman Bar, Narva lights, Safari Snorkel, Airbags, TX3350 kit, Waeco CFX65DZ - often seen with Thule 2.2M narrow roof pod and towing 2014 Kimberley Kamper.

Strange wiring. Auto electrician bought the complicated wiring loom from Toyota. Could use the Aironboard Roo Lights dash switch but this does not illuminate st any time, when pushed in or otherwise. Lights are powered with relay that earths lights, rather than provides power, if I understand correctly. Automatic lights also provide an additional complication. Have not yet tested auto high beam yet, but lights work fine with manual high beam. Tricky
The next challenge is to make it work with an illuminated switch.Prado GXL 2012 Charcoal - Drifta Drawers, Cargo Barrier, Sidewinder Dual Battery kit, Ironman Bar, Narva lights, Safari Snorkel, Airbags, TX3350 kit, Waeco CFX65DZ - often seen with Thule 2.2M narrow roof pod and towing 2014 Kimberley Kamper.

As it is a CanBus the easiest way to connect is to use the Toyota loom which comes with all instructions required.
The links posted advise that. As you want to know where to connect to high beam, you connect under the steering column.'18 VX, Billies with Dobinson springs, Summit bar with Narva Enhanced Optics to help my old eyes

I had a Canbus High beam interface module installed, I believe the CANM8. Youtube has further information on this.

But seems relatively straight forward and I'm guessing that's what my installer did.
