    Feel free!

    The first option with Windows really needs a number pad - it doesn't work with the numbers on the top row, so I've never gotten it to work with a laptop (b/c I've never had a keyboard large enough to have room for one on the right). Not sure if it works when the "number pad" overlaps the keyboard in the J/K/L area.

    If you go this route, here's where I mounted mine. Nice and easy to glance at without your eyes really leaving the road

    Buddy of mine has Baja Design S2's mounted on his, looks nice and small and throw a ton of light. Also not a lot of people running them like that so +7 cool points

    Moral of the story is that it's cheaper to go to college anywhere besides California haha

    I should specify,
    Cheaper pods, like around 100 a set I guess.

    Thanks for the comment though.

    I plan on running these as ditch lights. Got them during the Black Friday sale ($50 rebate). Ended up paying around $140 for them:

    I got Nilights from Amazon from a buddy who had them on his truck. They work well for being so cheap and I haven't had an issue with them. They are bright enough to light the ditches so I can look out for any rogue deer.

    I accept, thank you Captain!

    It'll be at least a month or two before I get my CBI brackets (along with my bumper!!!:bananadance:)...so I will not be able to mount them till then.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I still have to find a set of lights for my ditch brackets. I've decided to give them another shot (surprisingly neither bent in the rollover), but this time I'll put something with a more focused beam on them.

    What did you have on them on the last truck? I've been thinking about getting ditch lights, seems like the only requirements are a lot of light at pretty close range.

    I had some Totron pods I bought right before the whole cheaply produced chinese light pods thing took off. They have never leaked and still work fine but they don't throw light very far. I was going to use them as super close fill lights and mount them under the top plate of the bumper.
