    I have the Broviews and think the distance is about comparable to the stock halogens......but definitely doesn't have the reach of HID's.

    When I go to some of the links on Amazon it size this will NOT fit my truck. I have a 2016 Tacoma Sport 4x4 with technology package.
    Any thoughts?

    Just a thought without having done any research into. But has anyone looked at taking the led bulbs from a new carolla and see if they fit the truck? It's a projector housing with led bulbs. Might be a way to go assuming they're the correct size bulbs.

    On second thought, for anyone thinking of buying the Broview's......wait a little bit longer. There's been a bunch of recent reported failures and denied warranty claims by the mfgr lately. Let's see how this plays out. If it doesn't get addressed, I'd buy from someone else.

    Yea I stopped trusting Amazon's recommendation on bulbs. I know for a fact these fit as they are the same that I'm running in my 2016 TRD Sport 4x4 w/tech package

    i too have converted my truck to all leds as well. I used diode dynamics xp80 leds for turn signals, and both brakes and reverse lights and all lights are significantly brighter, and more colorful than stock lights. I did not need resistors either. Curiously, I had replaced only the rear lights and had a hyperlink issue but the issue was fixed when i replaced the front turn signals as well. Overall, great mod to exterior. will post pictures soon

    They are the complete LED Fox assemblies. There is a thread on them.

    I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that instead of a traditional flasher where the flasher is looking for a certain specified draw from the light system as a whole, it actually works by making sure that current draw is the same front to back, meaning that the system is able to adapt to any different size draw, as long as the draw remains constant front/back... Only way what happens with my truck makes any sense as I mentioned before I had hyperblink until i replaced both sets of turn signals with led, but once the circuit was all LED everything works fine

    These just arrived. Easy to pop that dome plate off. These are slightly too big. Working but I feel like the first big hit off road it will pop out. Is there an update for a smaller one?

    Probably safest to just nite shade it from the outside. Head liners are a little fragil

    Little warning about led interior lights. A few people have had them fry their ecu on these 3rd gens from what I've heard
