    Okay, so I know this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find much in the way of useful advice, so here goes:

    I would like to be able to turn off all of the lights on my 3rd gen Tacoma, both interior and exterior, while driving. I plan on doing some driving under night vision (on private property, obviously), and would like to be able to black out my truck for this purpose.

    Yes, I know that this is dangerous, and would be illegal if I were to do this on public roads. That is not my intent. So, what can I do in order to make this happen?

    The most I know of is:
    1. Lights off
    2. Dim interior lights
    3. There's an option to blackout the radio too (on the unit itself)
    4. Brake lights are going to be a problem though

    Drug runs on “private property”?

    Best bet is dim the interior lights, have dark ass tint, and put your rear lights on a switch. Just don’t forget to flip that switch on again when going in road or your brake lights won’t work.

    Years back there was a lambo that used to do this across Texas for drug runs.

    It’s a game of hide and seek.
