Hood Light Mount Adapter
2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma 2nd Gen
Description
This thing is a mounting adapter to mount KC Cyclone V2 LED lights under the hood of 2nd gen Toyota Tacoma. Adapters should be placed on either side of the sloped section of sheet metal along the front edge of the hood. These adapters will aim the lights slightly back towards the engine and out of your eyes. Using the adapters as a template drill two 1/8" holes in the hood, being careful not to drive the drill bit up into the external sheet metal. Fasten the adapters to the hood with a pair of #10 x 3/4" sheet metal screws, then mount each light to its adapter with another #10 x 3/4" sheet metal screw. I needed a washer for the screws that hold on the lights since the light mounting hole is large. No washers needed to hold the printed adapters to the hood. Wire up as directed... you will need to extend some of the light wires to reach this location. Print with the narrow side down so you won't need supports. The narrow side is the top side that gets mounted against the hood, notch towards the back. The 2 mounting sheet metal screws fit in the recessed pockets.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
