What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got to install my factory headlight bulbs today. My passenger side HID went out, when I investigated it, I found the contacts on the plug all fuzzy and green. So Im guessing water got into the plug and burned out that side. I sprayed it all out and put some dielectric grease in there.

Thinking of ordering some LED bulbs this time to replace the HID since i have OEM LED fogs already.

These are the ones Im thinking of getting

I went with the below based on the thread below.

I had thought about those ones, I just have a hard time taking a company serious when their packaging looks like it was designed by a 11 year who loves transformers. But then again, never judge a book by its cover.

 

I’ve been running them for a year now and have been happy. Buy them on sale for $55-$65 though.

 

They go on sale quite often. I’ve seen them as low as $45. Agreed on the packaging, it’s not the greatest. With that said, for an LED, they’re very good!

 

Thanks, Ill keep them in my basket and when they go on sale Ill grab a set. I dont drive enough right now anyways that my stock bulbs wont work for awhile.

 

Pretty good! There is a noticeable lag when making phone calls, but not too bad. I still haven’t figured out how to retain steering wheel button function while using Amazon music. Sometimes the buttons work, sometimes they don’t.

 

Got this, this and this
But now I need a real short usb-micro usb cable

 

Just got the same set up (different card). Love it. Here is the cable I gotoffAmazon. Works perfect.

 

I ordered the same cable. Would’ve done it earlier if Amazon would’ve prompted it. I was sorta hoping the cable supplied would have had a shorty option in there.

 

For those who don’t know... I wouldn’t support tacomabeast.

Wow.. never saw that purpose built MicroSD. Have the same setup and used a 6" USB from my bikes rechargeable headlamp to avoid slack.

 

Unfortunately I think they are the only ones that still have the meso stage one taillights in stock

 

Here’s the one I picked up. Not sure how much the one Benny got runs.

 

I think it was half that, but it’s half the gb

 

Looking good. Did you leave the overload spring on? I put mine back on under the AAL over the weekend. I was re-torquing the bolts today when I realized... I put the overloads on the opposite sides! Ugh. Not sure how much of an issue that is, if any?? The only thing I see visually is that the U-clip on the spring sits closer to the other leafs on one side.

 

how do you like the scheel-mann seats?

 

Had some free time and installed the OEM tailgate lock today.



I didn't realize until after installing that you have to double press on the lock button to unlock the tailgate.

 

I have them in my headlights, high beams, fogs and in my wife’s Honda Pilot headlights. They’re pricey compared to most others but well worth it.

 

I’m pretty sure you can change that in the lock/unlock settings. I only hit have to hit unlock once
