    Does anybody know if they make morimoto fog lights for 12-15 tacomas without a smoked lens? My factory housings are pretty much fish tanks so I'd like to get morimotos, but I don't personally like the blacked out look. Thanks all!

    What year is your Taco? I have the reverse camera switch, but I haven’t wired it yet. Do you have tips/video/instructions?

    Nope, had some friends of mine over at Crow Concepts do it for me.
    I got my switches from Air On Board.
    It's so fun to watch the camera while you drive. Dangerous, but fun has to be dangerous aaaaaammmmm iiiiiiii rite?

    Mine is a 2015 as well and my switch is from air on board. I just don’t like doing wiring.

    I hate the idea of drilling holes in the cap personally. I believe I'd look into running the wires up between the cab and the bed, put a quick connect just below the level of the bed, and run the wires up to the cap rack and out to the lights. If you use a duetsch connector it'll be water tight and you can get the little things with the sticky bases to stick to the bad and cap that you run zip ties through to secure the wires. That way they'd also be tucked mostly out of sight and look nice and neat IMHO

    Well it's just a thought. I figured the quick connect would allow you to remove the cap in one piece and the wires would be at least some what hidden. It's kinda hard to explain I was just thinking you'd have your relay for the lights mounted in the engiine compartment then youcould just run the wires under the cab theough the frame and up the front of the bed to the connection. If you ran them up the front of the cap they'd be in between the cab and cap and fairly out of view then they could just be run over the cap along with the track on the roof, to the rack and out to the lights. Not very visible and no holes

    Cool little mod. Post up how it turns out. I did the oznium lights on the other truck and haven't done this one yet. I'm interested to see how this version turns out

    I may never paint it. Makes it have that best top look but with better sealing for dust etc. Kinda makes it look utilitarian.
