    Has anyone tried the new led lights (OE) on the newer tacomas on a 2008 that has the old red taillights? Are they just a plug-n-play cuz the dealer tells me they won't work on my 2008. I purchased some ctrusa taillights off of ebay and they set my ABS light on constantly after about 10 min. of driving and shut my cruise control off on the highway when I used my directionals. I have already sent them back for a refund. I guess I can't get aftermarket ones that won't screw with my ABS light? Thx in advance..:confused:

    If you tallights are messing with your abs you have a lot bigger problems than just trying to find a new set of tallights. Something in your electrical system is really messed up if that's happening

    When I run with my OE taillights....I have never had a problem with ABS or cruise.....so that points to the aftermarket lights and not the truck! :confused:

    Correct but there has to be an issue with the truck if the ABS electronics are in any way tied to the taillight wiring.
