    Could be me but driving behind my wife last night bringing our new sport home it looks to me like incandescent tail/stop/turn. What the hell.....for the money we should have LEDs.

    Got to ask the OP:, if you knew before the purchase that the taillights are not LED, would that have been a deal breaker?

    I like LEDs, but rather have normal bulbs, but then again my lifes very busy and I don't have time to BS fixing my truck. Bulbs are a Walmart item and last a good while. I changed mine out 3x in 10 yrs 290k miles

    LED tail lights were available 2009-2015, that craze is over now so they went back to incandescent. :D

    OP consider hitting up forum member csjumper2003. He sells quality replacement LEDs. He's done just about every light on my 2015 for me. I'm not sure what he will have for the third generation yet but it's worth asking

    I am not familiar with the 3 gen (yet), but the flashers would need resistors to work. I am sure that it is not cost effective for Toyota to put them in. But that is just a speculation.
    On the other hand, you could always put LEDs in.
    Someone already pointed you toward CSJumper, so I don't have to mention him again.
    Oh wait, I just did. :rolleyes:

    Good luck with the mods. Can't wait to see your progress. Congrats on the new truck!
