    Here's pic from site of new diode bulbs:

    Solid structure and should just require a zip-tie to keep it in place.

    Installed the diodes after work today:

    I started on the passenger side trying to finagle the base of the halogen holder.

    thumbnail_IMG_6249_e0cd10a6e5125e5b00609a2e747291eea84f5663.jpg

    This was the driver's side before removing the base:

    thumbnail_IMG_6250_3cb0dfee1dbca74ca7d06143432845a7193aead1.jpg

    Removed the connector:

    thumbnail_IMG_6251_c6dd21ecb8904e24fb6630ad78d9e17540c463d7.jpg

    Bulb out!

    thumbnail_IMG_6253_346ebda14e79added63540724a1022a2f0b37f4a.jpg


    Looped it around the top and zip tied.

    thumbnail_IMG_6257_05551a3a5b2e76ee5cfada33cf1f60c0821e4290.jpg

    Looks great!

    thumbnail_IMG_6256_01096a66b0e4ea7f809841706aa325100f4b2a98.jpg

    Side to side comparison.

    I'm happy with the result.

    Added a gas cap holder for my Stant cap Part# 10504. That plus the glovebox & center console partitions--I only took pics of the gas cap area.

    You're gonna have to give me some training on how to assign a sig...my attempt is weak! lol

    EDIT: As for the Maso gas hole...I'm a big spender...I like the Morimoto Tail lights they got going on...but I'm gonna wait. You don't wanna buy first year products (taking a jab at first year vehicle model stigma)

    Thanks Tacos&Cheese!

    I see you're relatively new...joined 2/22/2022. That will be a date to remember.

    Have you got your own first thread to introduce your Tacoma?

    29Mar2022 - Just a note...

    Purchased 3 components for the next oil change:

    APSG No-spill Funnel
    Motivx Oil Filter Drain Tool
    Hose Kit for Fumoto Valve

    I'd already purchased the 3Mirrors Filter Wrench which I will review and determine if I need to upgrade to the Motivx Oil Filter Wrench.

    Thanks for your reply; I'm glad you are following.

    This is like a journal for me...it's good to look back on how my truck evolved.

    I want to thank everyone for the reading/viewing this thread.
