Help install raptor grill lights

Looking for some technical assistance.. I’m in the middle of installing my raptor lights for the TRD Pro grill. I used an add a fuse to tap into the 10 amp DRL fuse in engine bay. I instantly got power to the raptor lights (while the truck was off) which made me think it was a hot fuse. I disconnected from there and tapped into a fuse I’ve seen multiple people use in YouTube install videos on the bottom right of the fuse box (I’ll link the video when I get a chance). When I tested from there I had power to the DRLs but not the grill lights. Anybody run a similar install to the fuse box or have a better solution? Thanks!!
 
Hey man! Sorry if you didn't get a response on this or if you've figured it out already since it's been a while... but the DRL fuse is always hot because the DRLs are actually run through a relay. If you wanted to tap the DRL circuit, you would need to tap the wire going to the DRL near the headlights. Runnin4Tacos have a great video on their website on how to do this and explain it very well. I explained this in a little more detail in this post: https://tacoma3g.com/threads/ask-a-“beginner”-question-get-a-serious-answer.147/post-48889

Hope this helps!
