What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

The oem turn signal socket.

 

Oh he just cut it off the turn signal housings in stock bumper? Those don't look like the same type of bulbs my stock bumper had

 

I'm guessing he already had the black corners. Can I order corners and paint the internals black

 

Also how is he going to have the regular running light if he just moved the turn signal socket to the corners. Will he still have a parking light?

 

From what I know there isn't, all you need to do is pull the battery cable and let the ecm reset so it can re learn.

 

Wow... think before you speak bud haha

First off, they look exactly like my oem turn signal sockets when I did the mod.

Second, do 95-97 not have black corners on Ebay or anything? If not, then I don't see why not. No different than painting your headlight housings.

Third, no clue. Depends on where he wants them. You can fit both the turn signal and running lights in the corner housing. How are your front turn signals ran?

 

Just need to paint and fabricate a tire carrier.

 

I cut the stock socket off the old turn signals. Im going to get amber bulbs later on

Greetings from the top of Hollister everyone

 

Sorry dude it was a crazy night last night lol. I haven't relocated my turn signals at all yet. Got to since my inspection is due this month, just gotta figure out how I want to do it

 

I recommend this. Keeps it clean. It's what I did.

The OEM stock blinker bulbs are dual filament. Just have to run a splice from the running lights wire into the blinker bulb socket. I did a write-up, can be found here:

The sheet metal trimming may not be needed.

 

Yup. Just depends on if you want to do some wiring or not.

Will it still work if you run LED's?

 

Never looked into it but if they are setup to insert into a dual filament socket, don't see why not.

 

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I've never seen dual filament led bulbs before, unless they were switchbacks which have a delay.

 

Installed a new CB today with a quick disconnect for the power:

Bought a black wheelskin but not sure I shouldn't have gone with oak.
