    Is this a straight replacement, bulb for bulb or something more involved?
    My thoughts are for headlights, rather than reverse lights.

    I ordered the MotivX oil filter tool and associated 24mm socket direct from MotivX.
    Cheaper than Amazon, and free shipping for $30+ orders.
    Next stop is to Harbor Freight for a torque wrench capable of accuracy between 9 and 18 ft.lbs

    I was looking at Amazon for Toyota OEM filters, but comments scared me off.
    Could be counterfeits or knockoffs.
    Same price as buying from my dealership parts counter, which I will do instead.

    After about a year or so of waiting, and complete transparency on their side my SSO Slimline front bumper arrived.
    SSO didn't have to do what they did and complete everyone's orders that had placed one when the initial owners went under and the new owners took over but they did.
    The powder coating appears to be really well done.
    I for one am super happy and glad I waited!

    Just another spot for things to drop in and get lost, and to collect dust and debris and be a pain to clean.

    Which did you go with? I got the Motorola MA1 wireless Android Auto car adapter a couple weeks ago and have been less than impressed. Frequently losing Bluetooth connectivity with this.
    EDIT: you most likely didn't go this route since this is only for Android, me thinks...

    I did this upgrade. It is much better. I still want leds, but this will keep me happy until I can do leds right, with a led light housing.

    Thank you for your honesty.

    I did the OEM LED upgrade after-the-fact.

    It could have been a $480 upgrade before I signed off on my purchase...but I'm happy I was able to do the install myself almost 2 years ago.

    L-$664.92
    R-$661.00
    H-$85
    Total $1410.92

    Thanks to Sparks Toyota & Dave Easa.

    Parked awkwardly next to another 3rd Gen Barcelona Bro. Giving my truck the false hope of a growth mindset. Oh, and voted!

    $1410.97 is a big bill to choke down. I just ordered a $3800 camper shell for mine and I’m coming up on my second payment on my little Taco. The new lights will be a little down the road for me. I’ve done led bulbs in halogen fixtures. They looked better than the halogen bulbs, but not what I really wanted. The only way to get that would be to replace the led fixture to replace the halogen one.
