    The only problem I’ve have ever had with my 2nd gen using Slyvania LEDs from Orielly’s was my truck didn’t die like it would’ve with halogens when I left my map light on while out elk hunting. Haha those leds are lifesavers. 14 hours of power and truck still cranked right up. Wheew.

    On another note, I had LEDs for a 3rd brake light on my 2003 dodge regular cab and there was enough residual voltage in the wires to keep the white cargo light portion powered all night long at a very dim glow. It never killed my battery though, and I always thought I left them on somehow. Weird.

    What is the Vanity Mirror Bulb replacement size? I just pulled mine out and I can’t find a number on it other than “12v”. It’s one of the cylindrical fuse looking type of bulbs but is much smaller than the dome Light. Looking to swap them with LEDs.

    May want to look in the second gen forum, not sure if they’re the same as 3rd gen.

    Same minus the wife!

    @MESO dual color maps & dome mostly on the red setting...great products!!

    Also added some red vleds foot we’ll lights....only complaint is I wish they were controlled by the overhead switch instead of the door switch.

    I got mine off Amazon. Didn't like how white they were. I prefer the warm yellow hue of the factory bulbs. Took them out

    I went with the MESO cabin lights. I replaced the map lights and the dome light. They are pretty bright, and take a bit getting used to, but the light they give off is really great. For the dome light, I went with the dual color (red in the middle, white on the outside) because that was all I could find in stock at the time...very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend Meso products...I also installed all of the MESO chrome delete products...perfect.

    Not trying to Jack a thread but for anyone wondering - the bulb size is a 6614F according to

    https://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Toyota-Tacoma-Vanity-Mirror-Light-Bulb-Replacement-Guide/

    Just ordered some led replacements from Walmart they should fit!

    Cool white to blue color temp is the worst.
