    I was in such a hurry that day when I took the pictures, I didn't realise all you need is a flat head to take the light/contraption holding the light to take it out. It made it so much easier to do it today with taking it off. I did it to my black ones, no problems besides my drill went a little to far and scuffed the inside of it. no big tho.

    In anticipation of my tube bumper. Thanks Monte & Taco.VR4 for this tip.

    I rinsed and then hit them with the air compressor, cleaned all the small shavings out.

    I tried this the lazy way by splicing my signal wires into my side lights lol, that didn't last long. Got some short orange led strips from Walmart and stuck em under my headlights and wired those into the signals, work good most of the time. A bit iffy when people don't realize it in the day but they're still really visible at least!

    Did my corner lights after I got my trail gear bumper (2000 tacoma). Disabled my DTRLs at the same time, great result! and it only took like 45 mins.

    Anyone got pictures of an 03 done yet? And is the OP thread up yet for this ?
    Also,
    does anyone have the size for the bulbs that go in the fog light housing? same size as the new blinkers that you moved but when you do this mod, the side marker lights are on when your head lights are on correct? and then the blinker bulb just blinks next to the marker light when turning? thanks and great mod I love the cheap easy ones :D

    Just look in the OP man. There is a set of 95-97, 98-00, and 01-04. Each has a different location or way of doing it.

    Yes the marker light works like stock and so does the blinker. They just share the same housing.
