    Hey Guys.
    had a few members ask me to mod their Tundra tail lights. Wondering if there is any interest in LED tails for the big body Yotas?
    They are plagued with same horrible incandescent bulbs like our Tacomas. What I like to do is increase the look factor AND light output(safety factor). I have been studying the Tundra tails(even have a set in route to start Prototyping on) and have some ideas;
    Not sure which GEN, but the 2014+:

    1)B.T.L.M AKA: Black Tail Light Mod
    This is where all the chrome from the inside is removed and switched it to a matte black finish
    2)Custom LED Brake/running light boards in the upper/lower sections to replace the dim OEM bulbs.
    3)Make the middle reverse bucket into an AMBER(yes amber! not RED) turn signal, swithback to WHITE to maintain reverse light.
    4)Raptor side glow bar for DRL/Parking light side visibility.

    Basically everything I have done on the Tacomas..just for the Tundras.

    Blacked out INSIDE! Not affecting light output . VS spray tint over the OUTSIDE= LESS visibility

    Blacked out the right way
