Beast if the toggle switch is not illuminated you might have either a bad connection, or possibly a blown fuse. There are several possibilites but without knowing exactly what you connected it too your not going get too many solid answers... Get us some more details

per the instructions, i popped the center cluster , installed the switch and coneecter the wire harness to the switch, i routed the switch wire harness over the drivers side. there where 3 wires on that harness, one black, green and brown.

i installed the black on to a black wire that reads per the instructions this wire is next to the the drivers right leg or gas paddle side. it is a blunt cut wire.

the green and brown wires from the switch harness goes to 2 blunt cut wires witch are over the parking brake paddle they are green and brown. these two wires go throw the bulk harness throw the fire wall next to the master cylinder in the engine compartment.

in the engine compartment on the drivers side iner fender the 3 blunt cut wires the green, brown and black wires come from the harness from the fire wall.

the kit comes with another wire harness kit with a relay. the green and brown and back wires from the relay goes to the green, brown and back wires on the fire wall harness.

then there is 2 wires with pins that come from the relay harness, one is light blue and one is dark blue, the 2 wires again have pins on them and you install these to a supplied connecter with the kit using the diegram in the instructions.

then you remove the BCU(fuse box) thats next to the battery and connect the connecter under the BCU(fuse box) and reassemble the BCU carfully, install 2 fuses a 20 and a 10 amp on the grill lamps and th SPO fuse location .and install the cover. finely there is the wires connecters for the lamps from the relay. you route them throw the front to the lights and connect them to the lights. and install the battery negitve and turn on the lamps from the swtch. and they sould work

all the connections where cramped on the and checked for loseness and heat shrinked the cramp and electric tape was put on.

Double check the fuses. I installed the 20amp in the Grill Guard Light location, #3 if I remember correctly. Also double check the connectors at the lamps, make sure they are tight. If yo uhave a volt meter make sure you have voltage there and at the switch.
I read somewhere that the computer may need to be reflashed to accept the new lights, but have not heard any verification on that. Mine did not BTW. It was a plug and play.
I also just installed these lights in my 3T, and had no problems. But my dash switch also does not light up when the truck lights are on, a little annoying, but even the tech at my dealer said he didn't think that it was supposed to light up.

Hope you figure it out, sucks having new toys and not being able to play with them.

Need to use a volt meter and start by checking every connection from the power point. Power from Bcm to the Relay? Power from Relay to switch? Switch to Lights?
