What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just wait until the new MESO taillights come out and the BST section will be filled with used Pro taillights with MESO Total Tails Stage 1.

 

Ain't that the truth!

 

Pardon my ignorance but are all Taco tail lights interchangeable or are some only compatible with certain models? I have a lowly SR and would like to upgrade but don't want to order a set I can't use because they're not compatible.

 

Dang, that sucks. I'm sure they'll reimburse you with another product. I've heard they're pretty good with their customer service.

To each their own (obviously) but I just don't get the appeal of those lights.

 

so my approach was not for aesthetics but moreso because even with swapping the dome bulb with an LED from DD (high quality stuff) there wasn’t enough light emitted to even see the rear floorboards. I think it’s more of a placement issue to be honest (dome light is placed too far forward) and angle, but I figured I’d try the MESO option for better output.

 

Woke up and saw this at Quinn’s Hot Springs parking lot in Paradise Montana. We’re even parked in the same order of the US map. That should be @TacoManOne on the WA spot. Lol

 

Gotcha. I didn't realize they threw that much light. That would definitely make the functionality outweigh the asthetic. And to be clear, my post wasn't intended dis on anything. I'm sure some of the crap I've put on my truck would turn others off. Haha.

And like I said, I've read that Meso is pretty good with their customer service. I'm hoping they make it right for you.

Sidebar, I thought I saw a post somewhere in this thread (or somewhere) for aftermarket floor board lighting? I've been looking for that for a few days now.

 

Would love to know as well

 

I just installed the new pro tail lights in my '17 OR and they fit perfectly. Very pleased. I'm guessing the tail lights are consistent between years/trims - but don't quote me on that...

 

took it out in the ide mud today. Might take it to the local clean it your self place later so I can just hit it with the power washer for 5 minutes.

 

Problem with the SR (and SR5 I presume) is that there are wiring harnesses missing and/or wired differently. For example, when I wired up my dashcam I was hoping that the harness was tucked in behind the upper console but no such luck. I had to run the wiring down to the fuse panel. I'd love to have turn signal rear view mirrors but ain't even going to bother looking to see if the wiring is there. Toyota know how to save a penny or two.

 

I have a 2020 Off-Road and put the 2020 Pro taillights in. Everything fit perfectly. All the bulbs are just incandescent and the assemblies are the same shape. I’m sure that either the OEM Pro’s or the OR’s would fit perfectly in your 2019 SR.

 

Did and oil change, rotated the tires, swapped lug nuts for black ones, painted the little Toyota emblem on the wheels red and got a MESO key.

 

Fyi, follow thi thread.

That's it. Thanks my guy.

 

dang! that sucks. when i talked to them about install, they were saying they have limited times and they schedule them in advance. their ig says it’s also a newer service so i may have been lucky with timing. fwiw they had my truck for a full day, so it was all quite a process.

 

I did that last spring. Took over 20 minutes just to see the paint colour again before I dared bring it home. (my spouse likes the Taco as much as I do and she doesnt like it dirty).
The pic is what I found when I dropped my Pro skid plate after power washing the 1st time.

 

I'm guessinng i may see similar if i drop my skid plate. Temp is just below freezing here, so it's debatable if I should or not. but a quick power wash might be a good thing.

 

I’m going to do another wheel in blue stitching. I’ll let you know how it turns out. I also need to attempt leather on the shift knob. Anyone taken one apart before? I don’t really want to break it if I can avoid it.

 

Where’d you get these? I have a broken cap (missing the logo)
