    Interior LEDs, all weather mats, TRD performance CAI, trifold hard tonneau cover, predator pro step, accessory interior/exterior illumination package. Kicker tweeters, Kicker speakers.
    Thanks for the write up, to be clear, in case I need to use the resistors. For the front and rear turn signals, just splice the resistor wires into the wires (1,3) of the plug....is this correct?

    Gotcha. The thing that worries me, is I put the halogen bulbs back in the front (without resistors) and the problem persists.. And I don't think it's a relay or fuse because the signals work, except when the lights are off...

    I guess my next step will be to put resistors in the front and the LED's back in. Hopefully that will fix it.

    Took about 2 weeks for mine to arrive. I have no idea why Philips doesn’t have these in the states.

    Is it worth it? They are very bright and look awesome. They have a very nice and finished/complete look to them unlike the cheaper ones with the exposed circuit boards and LEDs. So if you want something that looks like it could be OEM, and performs outstandingly, then it might be worth it for you. It’s a lot of cash though.

    Passenger side low beam LED. Anyone have a trick to this? Bulb seems a touch too long and can't angle it in. There a way, without removing bumper, to shake headlight over a touch to get the angle needed?

    5100's all around, OME 887 with 1/4" spacer, icon 3 leaf aal. 255/75/17 BFG KM's on 4runner pro's. Rigid led pods. Debadged and tinted.
    I unbolted the washer reservoir, and that allowed me enough room to get it in there. Still tight, but doable.

    Woops, I meant driver side. I started with driver, couldn't get, so did passenger without a problem, and still can't get the drivers side.

    I appreciate it. I placed an order yesterday and cancelled it. The description was changed this morning. It said it included everything.

    Question, it might be a stupid question but I am going to ask it anyways. So for the 2017 Taco it calls out for H9 for the high beams. My question is that most of the LED lights that are Amazon are H11(H8,H9). Are those types of bulbs ok?

    Fog Lamps?
    cabin lights?
    Vanity Mirros?
    License Plate Lamps?
    Anything else?

    I went with all Philips LED bulbs other than the vanity mirror lights which Philips does not make.

    This isn’t the cheapest way to go, but Philips does make OEM quality products. Everything fits perfectly.

    Note, most of the Philips bulbs in colors other than white, I purchased on eBay. Most of these are not available from Philips North America for some reason. It appears that eBay sellers are importing them from global regions and selling them to US customers. If my eBay links don’t work, you’ll have to search for a different listing.

    Interior
    Map Lights = 2 x Philips white 194 bulbs
    Dome light = 1 x Philips white 30mm Dome
    Vanity lights = 4 x white 6641 Fuse Lights. Search eBay

    Exterior
    Front Side Marker = 2 x Philips Amber 194 bulbs eBay

    Rear Reverse Light = 2 x Philips white 921 bulbs.
    Rear Tail Light / Turn Indicator = 2 x Philips red 7443 bulbs
    Rear Brake Light = 2 x Philips red 7443 bulbs
    Rear License Plate Light = 2 x Philips white 194 bulbs
    Access Cab Only - High Mount Brake Light = 3x Philips red 194 bulb eBay
    Fog Light Equipped Only = 2x Philips Ultinon H11 Bulbs

    Trucks With OEM LED DRL
    Front Turn Indicator = 2 x Philips Amber T20 bulbs. eBay
    Front Resistors = NOT NEEDED
    Rear Resistors = 2 x 21W Canbus Canceller

    Trucks Without OEM LED DRL
    Front DRL / Turn Indicator = 2 x Philips Amber 7443 bulbs
    Front Resistors = 2 x 21W Canbus Canceller
    Rear Resistors = 2 x 21W Canbus Canceller

    I just installed the Philips reverse led bulbs, not very bright. Definitely a nice white color, but no real output.
