    Hosed some leaves off of it. How rude of them to stick to my wet truck.

    The center of the Hitchpod does not have LEDs. This confused me too, but I asked Diode Dynamics and they confirmed that the center does not have LEDs. Also, pretty sure the LEDs are red/white combo. You get the reverse white by applying voltage to one cathode on the board and red on a different cathode.

    The reverse camera can be adjusted via the head unit--that might fix your issue of being able to see the light.

    For LED interior light conversions, I recommend VLEDs in either 5000k or red so that you don't kill your night vision. Bonus points, the LEDs in this kit are the same ones in the footwell kit, so everything comes out color matched. I would also recommend picking up replacement license plate lights if you hate the OEM halogens, but be warned that you might find yourself wanting either a DIR harness or the little blocking plates so that the rear camera doesn't get washed out from the increased light output.

    This had crossed my mind. Might be an option to try. At the very least, it's a cheap experiment that is multi-purpose if it doesn't work out.

    ^^^^^ This. I've left mine on for the same reason. It's awkward for me and my girlfriend getting in, but we've gotten used to it, and it's great ding protection!

    Mahalo! I've wanted those wheels since I got a '17 SR5. Essentially I wanted @VaToy's truck. Would have liked a little more sidewall (anesthetics--I'm not wheeling) but no need for 285s or 10plys. With the AAL I can carry all my camping/biking gear w/o bouncing off the bump stops when running over a twig :rofl:

    Not really replacing them for output, mainly want the same hue of "white" lights around the exterior and interior of the truck. With the reverse leds and hitch pod, along with the OEM leds out front, the license plate lights stick out like a sore thumb. Not really worried about the reverse camera being washed out, if it is, I'll address it then. Can't be any worse than my wife's 18' Corolla reverse camera, the Tacoma is a night and day difference. We'll see when I put them in :notsure:

    Well I am glad I'm not the only one, I was worried the light had some dead LEDs... I will just roll with it.

    Currently I haven't had any issues with the reverse camera, on the 22' the headunit doesn't seem to be as sensitive to lights but I will see what happens when we get them installed. I will take a look at VLED, I had been eyeing the footwell lighting, just lower on the priority list :cool: I appreciate the input and confirmation on the hitch pod! :cheers:
