    Feeling much better today, I decided to tackle a few things.

    Love my heated seats in my 2015, but the stupid switches came with green lights when illuminated at night. Went to the electronics store and bought white SMD LEDs and whipped out the ol' soldering iron.
    I am going to have to do night shots later today.
    With the lights off.

    With the lights on.

    Need night shots.

    On the 2007, I put on the new clock spring and the wheel I got from from @motozack. Now the stereo will have steering wheel controls!

    Where did you get the heated seats? Was the installation hard?

    Finally installed my CB this week end! (don't mind the dirty carpet lol) And also did an oil change and notice that my driver side axle has a leaking boot so I just ordered 2 new axles. Might order balljoints too because I will certainly break them because of rust...

    They sell the kits on Amazon and eBay.

    This is the exact set I bought. https://www.amazon.com/ZMAUTOPARTS-...490137754&sr=8-2&keywords=Toyota+heated+seats

    The switches fit in the Toyota blanks, minus a bit of trimming, but the only come in green illumination. Look kind of ugly, hence the LED swap.

    Is it hard? Not for me. If you know how to do upholstery, it's no more than a cloth swap and simple wiring.

    Does this get any reception? I put one on and all of a sudden, no traffic reports on my NAV. HD Radio then had a hard time going digital. Ended up putting the stock on back on.

    Actually not yet, but the process is much the same as you cut out the old bull rings and clamp new ones in after you adhear the pads.

    I have purchased custom Katzkin and will be doing a full leather upgrade. Here is a good link to heated seats and such.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2012-access-cab-katzkin-leather-installation-pix-heavy.239372/

    This is a pic I took when I did my heated seats.

    Yeah, I know, did it in the living room.
