    For the reverse lights I bought a pair of 886 bulbs, Grabbed them firmly and rocked back and forth and they broke off the base perfect..
    No cutting etc..

    Installed in 10 minutes!

    If you buy those bulbs, you will see a space where you can cut the base off so you can have the wire exposed at the ends. Stick those in the normal plugs in your reverse lights and your reverse lights will be much brighter. Very helpful when you have tint or are in a really dark place and need more light to back up.

    Not really a mod, obviously it's an accessory but, i cannot locate a thread to post this on.

    For the black "Tacoma" badges are those overlay stickers or, did you remove the chrome ones and replace with black? Easy to do?
