    You should sync the LED's on your tool box.

    The only lighting I have on my truck are a pair of Whelen Slimlighters...TIR6 version... right behind the headrests. Fits perfectly right there.

    How's the inner edge light-bar working out for you? Is it a generic one or is it a Tacoma design? Do you mind posting how much you paid for it?

    Does it block your view of traffic lights?

    Inner Edge works great. They did not have a Tacoma specific model, I believe the one that is intalled is a Tahoe model, they just had to trim the edge up against the glass to match the curve of the Tacoma windshield. I paid just over 1200ish for the light bar, it does block the view from some lights a little but enough that I have had any issues or worries about it. They do have a model that you can see though on the drivers side if your worried about lights and other signs.

    A pair of wheelen linz6 fit in the grill without the cover. I haven't mounted mine yet, but I intend to use wheelen's brackets, foam wrapped around the strobes, and a homemade bracket to hold them in the grill by hanging them under the hood latch.

    Will those Carling switches fit in the switch blanks under the AC controls?

    Above headliner, through A-pillar, behind dash. Use multiple wire looms to protect the wires and reduce bulk.

    You'll have to chop the grill up to make it fit, if you have the factory grill. The wheelen linz6's fit in the grill without modifications. You'll just have to fab a bracket. One 6led unit costs as much as the whole unit you were looking at, but I would go with wheelen any day. The linz6 has way more flash patterns.
    I'm sure the model you were looking at could be made to look good, but with the factory grill would be more difficult to pull off.

    I have a feeling it will fit in the grill i want it to look clean and crisp but want a light bar in the grill so if anyone has any ideas throw them out there please or any way to mount a light bar in the grill of a 2011 style grill. Please tell also the fact i have hids might make the lights hard to see at night.
