    The standard kit doesn't since the light isn't much brighter than factory. The kit mostly just doubles the surface area of the brake lights.

    Part of the reason why most of us in here are recommending it.

    I second that recommendation.

    I would just add a suggestion of changing out the driving lights (fogs) to LEDs also to better match the color temperature of the LED headlights. That is if you aren't running true fogs.

    This is the kit I bought some years ago. Its very similar to the VLED base kit, even some of the bulbs were in VLED packages.
    Its not blindingly brighter but a bit brighter and as said more brake like area as you can see in the pics on MESO's site https://mesocustoms.com/collections...stage-1-3rd-gen-tacoma?variant=20733357162609
    It just makes the brake lights more noticeable with more area and gets you amber turns which I think are easier for people to notice.
