Can I see some smoked white raptor leds on your grill?

    Looking for inspiration on whether to go 3 or 4 lights and where exactly to position them on your taco. Thinking about going smoked white led over smoked amber.

    thanks!

    Hey that looks really nice! Did you ever think about spacing them out whenever you installed them.. tough decision...Close or further apart.

    I did think about it but decided not to for 2 reasons.

    1. My TRD Pro Grill is a faux grill from The Taco Garage, and the sections that these lights would've fit into were so tight when installing the lights, I was worried I'd break the grill. I'm assuming that the closer the honeycomb section got to the sides, the tighter the spacing is for their manufacturing. So for this reason, I ultimately had no choice.

    2. I think with it being spread out, it's also too common of a replica for the TRD Raptor look, so having it setup like it currently is makes it more unique.

    To each their own.

    Man that’s really nice!! I saw these kits on eBay for less than $30. Now I need to decide on which color.

    thanks!

    You guys are complaining about a $50 light kit and comparing it to a $80,000 truck. "If you want a $80 LED lights, just buy a $80,000 Ford Raptor." There is so much logic in that.

    It sure shows how practical you guys are. OP just asked for images of what the lights look like on a Tacoma; the OP didn't ask for flaming on his idea.

    Do what you like, period.

    I prefer 3, smoked or clear.

    Search the web, find what you like, hit buy. Repeat the process over and over again until you run out of money or eventually get a new truck.

    I used a triton v6 White/Amber switchback bulb paired with a DRL wiring harness kit.
