    Nokya Hyper yellow. I can't tell they are any better than stock but they look cool.

    I've had really good luck out of them. I would recommend taking off the "O" ring that comes with the lite and replace it with the one that is on the factory bulb as it is more substantial. Other than that.... no issues what so ever.

    No problem brother. I think you will be happy. They don't throw more than the stock bulbs just a different color. I bought them for looks if I'm honest cause it's a little different. I also like it because in the daytime they are clear instead of yellow so everything is subtle.

    This was what I was thinking too for them.
    And going with the Jumpers switchbacks and the white parks, I thought I would like to have the option of having yellow too.
    Nice.
    Thanks for the info.

    And installed my pioneer HU. The JBL system is kicking my ass on the steering wheel controls though.

    First things First. I joined this Forum. Then proceeded to figure out how to turn the maint. eng. light off. Then I changed the oil on my new to me Taco.

    I must say, this is the first vehicle I have had to change a headlamp in, and that was tricky with that little clamp. Ok not true but a 70 VW headlamp just doesnt count.

    I like many others bought this thing to wrench on after the warranty expires. Now y'all been great with the info and I have been lurkin to figure out what I need to do but I have some questions after tonight's crude revitalization.

    Damn, though that was an easy oil change.

    Now what is with all the space under here and what have people done with that space. Any links would be gratefully appreciated. I searched, I swear, but I don't even know what to put in the search. When I see threaded holes in the wheel well I get to thinking. Then I noticed the power steering fluid can go up about 6 inches.

    So what gives?

    Aux. fuse / relay panel can bolt right up to the driver side fender.... to add lights and what not. Do a search.

    Mounted my relays for my LED Light bar in the 2 holes on the drives side inside fender. The 13 of mine has a air pump on the other side that I really don't know what it does but make a shit ton of noise when you turn the truck off. So I don't have the room you do over there.

    Thanks! I was thinking air compressor but I could also have a small emergency kit in there as well. Lots of research and planning to do!

    Mine has the ABS / VSC pump on the passenger side. Like said above a lot have put in an aux fuse box. I've also seen onboard air pumps mounted on the passenger side. Hmmm, I believe someone mounted an onboard water setup there too.
