    16_toyota_tacoma_sb_boards_compare.jpg "From the factory, the Toyota Tacoma has LED accents in the headlight that illuminate in a white color. With Diode Dynamics replacement LED boards, you can upgrade your look by making those accents also light up as brilliant amber turn signal, with a "switchback" dual-color effect. This is a great way to stand out on the road, while maintaining a clean OEM-style appearance."

    Purchased these to-do the BHLM but plans changed. They are new, only opened the package to see and take pics.

    Located in Vancouver,BC,Canada.
    $180 CAD. Will ship at you cost.

    I have installed numerous sets of these on some of the many hundreds of third gen headlight mods I have done. These will not fit if you have a trd pro...just an FYI. I brought this up to the company the day i installed them on a pro and they wouldn't fit. Other then that I have had no complaints about functionality. GLWS.

    Hmm that's weird. I know the boards inside the stock pro lights are white, and the OR and sports have black. Wonder what the difference is..

    The difference is the insert tabs on the lower portion where it makes its turn. The diode boards do not have the appropriate notch cut out to accommodate for the install.

    Super interesting. Glad I bought an extra set of non-Pro headlights to do my lights since I wouldn't have known. Not sure why someone would open up their Pro lights anyway considering you can sell a Pro set of lights for as much as a non-Pro plus all the retrofit. Why would they use white boards on the Pro and black on non-Pro?

    They paid me to open them up to install the led boards and smoke the amber turn signal.

    I didn't mean that. :D I meant, the person who paid you would have been better off buying a second set of non-Pro headlights and modding from there. :p

    I wonder if that tab could be ground off, or if something else is actually different too.

    Damn that's weird. Just the PRO lights have that extra nub. TIL. It doesn't look structural, why not just trim it off with a dremel?

    You got me wondering so I had to go check all the stuff I have taken apart right now (like a tweaker) :rofl:
    Just confirmed that they fit fine without the nub. Grnd, park, drl are also confirmed to be set up the same on the boards. Part numbers of the white board is 10149-18570-A for white and -B for the black. Pretty odd.....

    ^BHLM without having to worry about any issues from resealing. I get it for someone that doesnt want to deal with sending their lights out to get done or worry about any issues, but not to mod a set of Pro headlights.
