    I don't know if all brands have type "A" and type "B" switchbacks like superbrightleds.com does. I prefer the look of the type "A".
    This video shows the difference in the two types. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCjh1A85Le0

    VLED. is prob the better of the LED lights out there. That's all I have in my truck. Last longer than some knock off LED bulb
    And VLED has blinker switchback bulbs as well

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Another question, how to you remove the bulbs for the map lights up front? The dome light cover comes off easy but it looks like the map lights are a little more tricky. Also, where are the courtesy lights? On VLED and SB-LED's websites it lists our trucks having courtesy lights and I have no idea what/where those even are to be honest. Are they maybe the lights in the dash?

    those were in the door handles for 00 and earlier

    for the map lights they are exactly the same as the dome (festoon style), just pull one side

    Jdmstar sells the same thing. A led bulb with a magnified glass on the top. Only paid $20 for the set and they're bright as hell. Had them for a month now and no issues

    I don't think this has to do with my installation of LED's yesterday, but for some reason my washer fluid sprayer quit working? I was using it the day I installed the lights just fine but didn't try to use it again until after I put them in and it no longer works. I checked all the little hoses and they are hooked up, even took a few of them off and they still had water in them. I just filled the tank not long ago and have only used it a handful of times and seriously doubt it would run out. I can look through the bottom and see it has blue fluid in it. It definitely hasn't frozen, been in the 40's all weekend and the stuff I have in it is rated for -30. I checked the wiper fuse and it's not blown so without taking the whole fender apart to get a better view of the washer tank setup, what other options do I have? Worst time of year for it to stop working, winter is the only time of year it really gets used so I need it now more than ever!

    Well, the only thing I can think is a fuse? That would be very odd for them to be linked, but I've seen weirder.

    Yeah, I don't see how they could be. I even reinstalled one of the old bulbs (the other had burned out) and it didn't work with the regular one back in and that didn't do it. I checked all the plugs I could see in that area and all of them were connected fine. Really damn odd!

    can you hear the motor for the pump when you hit the sprayers? or have someone hit the stalk and you listen by the front fender.

    Well I'd love to help, but that honestly defeats me.

    Could be just a coincidence? Maybe a blockage? If you can hear the pump running pull the hoses and see if they are squirting fluid out when you engage the washers. If they are maybe your nozzles got clogged? Take a piece of small Guage wire and unplug those.

    No, they light right up. All I did was replace the relay with a LED flasher relay from Napa to stop the hyper blink.
