    Question is if your truck didn't come with the led package interior (dome vanity ) and exterior (fog lights) is the wiring the same? is it just plug and play or is the wiring different and needs to be retrofitted? Thanks

    I put aftermarket LEDs in map and dome lights with no additional wiring.

    Can’t speak to the fogs.

    I installed LED interiors and diodes in the foglight housing (replacing the halogens) with no problems.

"Custom" 3in Flowmaster Super 50 Series cat back with a 3in Speedys Snap resonator. J&L catch can. AMP Powersteps
    LEDs work okay in map lights. Some go one step further and buy LED units from company's like MESO.

    You can put LEDs in the fogs but a complete upgrade like the Diode Dynamics SS3 lights would be much better!

    Best bang for the buck without breaking the bank is buy a set of oem takeoff led fogs from someone on here.

    I've got Meso dual color map and dome lights, ss3 max fogs, and the pro led headlights. Only aftermarket harness needed was for the headlight conversion.

    All the things!
    There's an LED interior light package? If so, I haven't seen one. Regardless, yes, many people have done full LED swaps on their truck.

    As others have said, I really like my Meso red/white interior LED lights. One of my favorite additions.

    I went with Vleds to replace my interior lights. Some of the best money I've spent on my Tacoma.

    I have read a few recent threads about LED interior light issues. The issue is not "feedback to the truck" because LEDs have resistors and other components to convert the electrical loads. LED failure is in these components and affect the LEDs themselves instead of the truck.

    As best I understand from those other posts.

    Vleds ftw. Got a lot of their stuff. Just make sure you turn them on before you reassemble. They tend to be polar specific.
