    Hey Brett (aka @Parker315),
    Can I call ya Brett? I'm Rob by the way.

    Hey, I like your signature and might copy that style. How I was used to all my other forum signatures, and when I cam here I was not happy with the little side bar thing.

    Also, I see you added Tacomaholic to yours. Are you that guy I see all the time on YouTube?

    Yes sir, Brett works. Nice to "meet" you Rob.

    Thanks, I actually copied the signature formate from another user on here and just tweaked it a bit. I work in IT actually so I like technology and messing with things.

    I am not the TacomaHolic from YouTube, but I know who you are referring to. I just like his branding and the term "TACOMAHOLIC" lol. He sells his patches and stuff that can be added the headliner of your truck if you're into that. JupiterOnEarth is on here as well and they make decals and have a cool TACOMAHOLIC decal for the rear window. Similar to whats in my Signature.

    Tell them they aren’t working and get a warranty replacement. I wouldn’t pay a restocking fee for something that doesn’t function.

    Just want to leave a tad bit of advice for anybody swapping out your map lights..unless you have child like skinny fingers getting the oe bulbs out is a pain in the ass at the angle they are installed so grab a piece of blue tape and wrap the bulb with it and twist them out.easy,trying to pull them out with my fingers,not easy and I couldn’t get them out.i have pretty skinny fingers too. On another note I installed the hikari cree xhp50 bulbs into my low beams and the light is much better than stock and nobody has flashed me just yet.ordering another pair for high beams and going to swap the fogs out with a amber baja designs led.

    Ok, I think I have the sig done. I like it better this way. Need to get some small sized photos in there. LOL I work for an engineering firm doing cadd and I help with some IT stuff too.

    LOL, thought you might be the guy from the interwebs. Hmm, JupiterOnEarth huh. I might have to look him up. Might need some new bed decals.

    Nice!! Sig looks good man!

    I just ordered some Bed decals from them. They came in yesterday. I haven't gotten a chance to install them yet. But they look good and quality seems very good. @amirak is the man and you can find their decals at http://jupiteronearth.co/

    Yea, I tried and tried to no avail with the tape method. It was easier to just pull the entire console down. Just grip and pull. There are 4 round tabs, on on each corner kind of. Once down you can just quarter twist the bulb holder out from the back. This is how I swapped out the @mesojdm RED Map Lights but the principal is the same. Then again, my fingers are like polish sausages so no way was I getting tape anywhere. LOL

    Damn, Baja Designs.......BAWLIN!

    Ok, now I remember this guy. He was having a crisis recently. Yea, once I get my design done I will shoot him an email. I have a bunch of software at my disposal so getting him a file he can use shouldn't be a problem. I'm trying to come up with a edition all my own.

    Anyone figure out another way to do the license plate bulbs? Mine were duds so I'm switching them out but one fell inside and I just can't get it out. Can you take it off from the outside?

    Yeah, takes 30 seconds to pull it out with a flathead screw driver or a knife that won't bend when force is applied to the broad side of the blade. I used the flathead and inserted it on the top side of the clear lens. It will end up pulling out the whole socket toward the license plate where you can then easily access the back of socket where the bulb is.
