    To anyone who has done the replacement reverse bulbs... I've tried many different types of the halogen ones from home depot and each one I've tried the prongs are too long. From other people mentioning these bulbs they say they just plug and played... am I missing something that the prongs have to be trimmed or anything?

    thanks!

    I didn't trim mine. I just pinched the socket contacts tighter.

    Oh; and rebalanced the new Michelin LTX's too.

    I was chasing a vibration issue - but the new u-joints resolved it.

    Still; I got a nice set of tires out of the adventure. <g>

    Looks like this one, but it's the 12v lamp.

    Take out the stock lamps, use a thin blade to push the contacts closer together to snug them up, and pop the halogens in.

    Mine plugged in like a champ.
    The glass went down into the gap in the plastic like it was meant to be there.

    I just used bolts with t slot nuts. 4 each bar they are not liked or anything. I'm just hoping the amount of time to Unscrew 4 tighten bolts each bar will be a deterrence

    Spark plugs at 45k. Old plugs were at .049 and color was good. Was a breeze for my 2nd time doing this (once on my 08 taco), less than 2 hours with coffee and heat breaks.
