    its a Toyota truck and that's all the modifications needed
    Im surprised that the unhappy 3rd GEN owners crowd didn't blame Toyota truck CPS parts outsourcing for this, play with fire u get burnt I thought 3rg gens come from factory with projector headlights why fuck around with MacGyver shit on a $40k+ truck:der:

    I've admittedly never heard of any issues like this, especially given the 2016s are just a facelifted second gen, of which we have hundreds of owners running our parts here alone.

    I'm not saying it's not possible. Anything is possible, but how exactly can it back feed so much to cause issues, that even the fuses can't stop? Seems very odd to me for sure.

    Regardless, we'll be glad to help out in any way possible to see what the issue may be with the two customers who suspect these parts are faulty.

    The OP of that thread updated saying it was not the lights causing the issue. They were not related to the driveabilty issues.
