What is this??

Can anybody smarter than me (not a huge accomplishment) tell me what the little lamp...or whatever this is between my bed lamp and auto dim switches is? It shoots a small beam of red light to the left...and does nothing in particular important at all. I know the photos suck, but it's really hard for me to get a shot of. I bought my 2019 Tacoma SR5 used...so it might be some kind of aftermarket thingie.

Just curious. Thanks!

 

I would suspect some type of aftermarket alarm, that’s not factory

 

Looks like a button. Press it, and if that doesn't reveal the function or cause a major explosion, trace the wires to whatever module is zip tied behind the dash.

 

I’ve seen it before..

 

Looks like it might be some kind of alarm? If it doesn't function, it might just be a thief deterrent. Robbers usually think Blinky light = bad

 

remove and report back

 

thats the NOS button

 

On / off switch for something. Have any aftermarket light on the truck?

 

Good thing is at least the install was fairly clean. I’ve seen a lot worse…

 

Looks like it may be a faux alarm light; if you push the button, does the light come on? I would think if that's the case, it's a theft deterrent activated with a push upon exiting the vehicle. Neat idea, just turn it on & off as needed.

I don't know, but now I want it.

 

The button? It isn't even color matched to OEM light blue.

 

You press it to leap over obstacles just like in Knight Rider

 

Did we ever figure out what the heck it is?

 

No, I think we shamed the poor OP into not responding.

 

Great, now it's going to bother me all weekend

 

I thought that was Speed Racer & and the Mach 5
