    Sorry buddy! Start a first gen DIY mod post! =) I just know NOTHING about them....

    I have one mod that i did to a 1998 extended cab TRD 4x4.. so i got a inside rear view mirror off of a single cab in a junkyard (that mirror has the dome light built on it) and put it in the extended cab truck, then ran a wire exactly the same way as the Map Lights ON With Dome Light mod and had two interior lights in it.. Pretty smooth...

    SOO thats my vote on first gen!! :cool:
