    WOW! You guys leave no stone unmodded. I'd typically reserve performing surgery in an OR, but with that much light, I might try it in a Tacoma.

    Joking aside, I feel that the lights are plenty bright as is for poking around the glove box or console.

    This is one of those mods that should've been stock on the Tacoma. Can't explain how good it is until you see it in person. It's not so much the brightness, but the actual light put out. Makes you feel like you're in an updated vehicle, not a 70s station wagon.

    I installed them today, they look great.
    All went good except for one my my map lights, the led base wasn't thick enough to stay in the socket and would fall down. The other led was thick enough and clicked in just fine.

    I called super bright LEDs and their sending me a replacement.

    One of my map lights did the same. I used a small pick to pinch socket closer together and holds just fine now.

    The 31mm fit tight but i'm not sure how it will hold up.
    Will the VLED6K BULB 29MM 3022 match the color of my map leds from super bright leds??

    yeah I'm definitely not complaining about the lighting.
    I saw the vled 29mm and the leds looked like they went all around the body.
    Not the best for lighting for our application.

    Anyone on the fence thinking if they should do this, get to your closest internet source and order them. Night and day difference. Blurry picture doesn't do them justice. Installed all of them in less than 20 min. License plate bulbs kind of a pain to get to, center dome light, the bulb was definitely a little too big. Will take a better look at it in the morning.1115150239a.jpg

    No I didn't use tape. They looked like they were gonna be a pain but they ended up being pretty simple. I used a pick tool just wiggled them back and forth a bit and they popped out. Be ready to catch them.
