    6inch lift sitting on bilstein coilovers. Lexus is300 studs in front to keep stock wheels, general grabber red letters, nfab front bumper.
    I can’t seem to make up my mind so I’m gonna ask the Tacomaworld crowd. I have the nfab roll bar mounted to the bed of the truck, I bought 2 extra mounts for lights for the small kicker bars. My plan was to face 2 small lights backwards to illuminate the bed of the truck and the trailer when loading up at night, torn between caliraised pods or the kc round led lights for the 2 that will face backwards. But I also need 4 that face forward. I want to do lights between 7-9 inches in diameter. Torn between doing led or hid lights.

    Do you have any options that would look good facing forwards? I was thinking about using your pods with the side light to face backwards.

    The Side projecting pods are both great for forward and backward lighting. Here’s an output picture of them as Ditch lights (no headlights) we also are offering a new back up light that’s super bright and small in size.

    I say keep it classic incandescents for the big ones facing forward and LEDs for the ones in your bed, or if you ever find the need for some fu lights:D

    I was thinking about doing some 9 inch HID lights facing forwards with the old school kc smiley face covers and some @CaliRaisedLed pods facing rear to keep an eye on the trailer load at night or if some fucker feels the need to ride my ass for no reason

    Sounds like a solid plan to me! Those 9 inchers will look great on there!
