YT-TAC3-GRL01-DRL-YEL-TSS
You've been driving your 3rd Gen for years. It runs great, it goes anywhere, and you've built it exactly how you want it — except that stock grille is still telling everyone you didn't get the TRD Pro. One upgrade fixes that.
The Apex Pro is built specifically for the 2016–2023 Tacoma and drops in using your factory mounting clips in about two hours. No cutting, no drilling, no trips to the dealer. And unlike a plain TRD Pro grille at the dealership — which runs $400+ and comes with nothing — the Apex Pro ships with an integrated 20in-LED light bar, triple amber Raptor markers, and a complete plug-and-play wiring harness already in the box.
If you need a front camera bracket please email with your order number so we can include one.
4.8 stars. The most-reviewed grille upgrade for the 3rd Gen.
| Feature | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Triple amber Raptor markers | The signature raptor look, built into the housing — no aftermarket bracket kits or separate purchases |
| 20-LED center light bar | White beam for maximum forward visibility, Yellow beam for cutting through dust, rain, and fog |
| OEM-grade matte black ABS shell | UV-stable and impact-resistant, color-matched to factory trim so it looks like it came from the factory |
| Plug-and-play harness with dash switch | Weatherproof DT connectors, fused relay, and rocker switch included |
| Optional side DRL kit | Add always-on daytime running lights for an even more aggressive presence at no extra effort |
| Optional TSS sensor cover | Have a 2018+ Tacoma with Toyota Safety Sense? Add the TSS cover for a clean, factory-correct finish over the radar housing |
| Variant | DRL Kit | TSS Cover | Light Bar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | No | No | White or Yellow |
| + DRL | Yes | No | White or Yellow |
| + TSS Cover | No | Yes | White or Yellow |
| Full Kit | Yes | Yes | White or Yellow |
Not sure if you have TSS? If your 2018–2023 Tacoma has automatic emergency braking or lane departure warning, you have TSS. If you're on a 2016–2017, select "No TSS."

Step 1: Preparation
1 Turn off engine, and open hood.
2 Disconnect the negative battery terminal if wiring lights.
3 (Optional) Use painter’s tape along bumper edges to prevent scratches.
Step 2: Remove Factory Grille
1 Remove the bolts and clips along the top of the grille.
2 Release the lower and side clips with a trim tool.
3 Pull the OEM grille forward to remove.
Step 3: Transfer Components
1 If equipped, transfer the front camera or emblem sensor to the Apex Pro Grille using provided
brackets.
2 Reuse OEM clips/hardware as needed.
Step 4: Install Apex Pro Grille
1 Align the Apex Pro Grille with bumper mounting points.
2 Secure with the factory bolts across the top.
3 Snap lower and side clips into place.
4 Check fitment for flush alignment.
Step 5: Wiring Options
A. Optional Raptor Lights
1 Route raptor light wires toward the fuse box.
2 Use an add-a-fuse with two fuses installed: one fuse for the factory headlight circuit and one for the
raptor light circuit.
3 Connect power (red) to the add-a-fuse in the headlight or other fuse slot.
4 Connect ground (black) to a clean chassis ground.
5 Test lights (they should activate with headlights or different fuse if used other).
B. Optional Light Bar (with Harness & Switch)
1 Route the harness to the engine bay.
2 Connect red wire directly to battery positive.
3 Connect black wire to a clean chassis ground or negative terminal
4 Secure the relay in a safe location (firewall or fender well).
5 Run the switch into the cab, mount where desired.
6 Test for function.
C. Optional DRL Lights (Blinking Feature)
1 Route driver side blue wire to the headlight harness blinker wire.
- Note (SR5 model): We tapped the orange/yellow wire. Wire colors can vary — always confirm with a Power Probe or multimeter before tapping.
2 Route passenger side yellow wire to the passenger side headlight harness blinker wire. (We tapped into a blue headlight wire)
3 Use T-Taps to connect: Blue → driver side DRL wire, Yellow → passenger side DRL wire.
4 Use an add-a-fuse with two fuses installed in the INJ fuse slot: one fuse for the factory INJ circuit and one for the DRL lights.
5 Connect red power wire to the add-a-fuse.
6 Connect black ground wire to chassis ground.
7 Test: DRLs should blink with turn signals.
Step 6: Final Assembly
1 Reinstall the engine cover.
2 Zip-tie any loose wiring away from moving parts or heat sources.
3 Remove protective tape.
4 Close hood and check function of all lights.
Troubleshooting
• Lights not powering on: Recheck fuse tap placement and ground connection.
• Blinker/DRL not working: Ensure T-tap is firmly seated on correct wire.
I got the wolfbox g900 tri pro came with everything you need to install sealed brand new box even came with everything you need for parking monitoring instead of having to buy everything separately Andy was very helpful and insightful he always responded in a timely fashion
Needed a pair of the Gen 2 lox and as always could count on Yotawolf to provide the product and with fast delivery.
Best looking ladder for the 6th gen. Andy at Wolf was great to work with. He had it to my house within days.
The installation is a little complex. Ended up figuring it out and absolutely love it. Sturdy, clean, and honestly the design is thoughtful vs others that look like random bars stuck together.
Absolutely love my Yota Wolf carbon fiber steering wheel! The grip feels much better than stock, and the carbon fiber gives my truck a cleaner, sportier look. It really changes the feel of the interior and makes driving even more enjoyable. Definitely one of my favorite upgrades so far!
“Andy at Yoda Wolf is the real deal 🔥. I’ve bought multiple parts from him and every time he’s gone above and beyond—fast responses, honest help, and zero runaround 🙌. When I’ve had an issue, he’s taken care of it, no stress ✅. Customer service like that is rare 💯. I’m 100% coming back for future Tacoma upgrades and telling all my truck friends 🛻. Highly recommend!”
