    Does anyone have the installation instruction for the Tacoma specific bezels? I purchased them, but the included instructions were for a behind the grill light. Also, does anyone know the size of the screws that hold the bezels on? I’d like to buy them in black. Also need to replace one that came stripped from the factory. Thank you!

    the bezels you just unbolt and bolt up the new ones, but take a look at this video for an install.

    Thanks for the video! The bezel seemed pretty self explanatory. I’m sure I can guess bracket orientation once I pull the factory fogs. Just wondering- do I tilt the lights on the brackets? How do the pigtails orientate? What’s this foam for? Etc. I think I’ll just muddle through.

    here is how the foam goes. I believe you do tilt them on the bracket to aim them. THe pigtails are generally not inserted into the end due to how different cars are wired. so you will want to carefully plug them into the light with out the end to make sure you get the correct polarity. once you have that then you can put them into the wire end.

    Thanks again. One more. Once I’ve installed this backwards, is there any way to get it apart?

    The foam is designed to reduce vibration found in some models. Here is a pic of it installed with bracket and foam:

    Sorry about the issue! Let us know if the instructions posted above don't work for you. Regarding the bezel hardware it's an M4x10 countersunk that we do still have in Black. We used to offer it with the Sport bezel when it was silver. Give our team a call to order some 800-422-5292.

    No problem. I got them in. Took an hour drive home in the fog last night. Worked like a champ. I wasn’t flashed by any of the 50+ cars I went by. I have them aimed pretty low currently. I’ll give you guys a ring for the bolts.

    Is there a way to tell which version I have? I just received them from you directly last week. The website calls out 2,260. The box they came in says 1,800. Plenty bright either way, just curious.

    It's a very minor LED change, but if you received the lights last week they are 100% the updated models. Regarding the box, We are using up the older marketing materials first.
