    2005-15-toyota-tacoma-led-tube-style-tail-lights-black-58.jpg I've been wanting new taillights for awhile. I like the look of these ones made by Spyder. What are your guys thoughts? And any recommendations for other taillights?

    Looks amazing, especially with the black Tacoma. Just so happens that i purchased these about an hour ago. Hoping to get them within a week and install them the same day they arrive.

    I was looking at those but I can't tell if/where they have backup lights? Since you put them in, can you confirm they have backups?

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Honestly not a fan of them, but that just means I wouldn't run them on my truck.

    Yeah, a couple of my friends already made remarks about them. It looks "ricey", and "it makes your truck look weird" But personally, i like them. Could i have chosen better? Yeah. But this will do for now.

    If you're down with them, that's all that matters.

    You use the pre-existing reverse light bulb. For the brake and turn signal lights, you would have to remove the old bulbs, then connect the new wiring harnesses accordingly to each lightbulb socket. Red wire to red wire, black to white/black wire.

    I am in the same boat as you! I have been looking for different tail lights and these Installed are the nicest I have seen! The stock photo of them not in a truck or anything does not do them justice

    lets see some videos on how they function.... not the youtube videos.... those are useless. I want to see blinker and break at the same time all the functions... I have been wanting these but nobody has a full video of all functions of the lights. please :fingerscrossed:

    On mine the center is blinker and brake. it's on/off function, not dim/bright. When you are on the brake the center comes on, if you turn the signal on the center is on/off, if you brake and signal it is on/off. The "light tube" is a marker only.
