    OME 2885 front coil overs, Bilstein 5100 front, 5125 rear, ICON RXT pack (option 2), JBA UCA, Whiteline LCA Bushings (Best thing I've Done), ECGS front diff bushing, VLEDS Triton V6 headlight bulbs, VLEDS DRL, Power Stop front calipers, SOS rear bumper, RCI skid plate, Rough Country step bars, TRD gloss wheels, KO2 265 75. With the OME coil overs, ICON RXT option 2, I essentially achieved a 2 inch lift with no vibe issues, way less body roll than stock. With the Whiteline LCA bushings, my steering is hands off straight on the highway...night and day difference from OEM. Replaced upper and lower control arms, sway bar bushings, alignment cams and had some alignment cam stops welded on at 120K miles. Drives better now than when it was brand new.
    Great to have access to tons of taco expertise out there!

    The 2010 is my third Tacoma.

    The only problem I've ever had with any of my trucks just popped up. I have a section of push button switch back lighting that isn't working on the left side of my dash. My fog light, RR Diff Lock and power outlet switches aren't lighting up. The dash light dimmer still works, but it's not back-lit.

    (The power mirror switch as well, but not sure if that one is supposed to light up).

    I saw the thread on removing the switches to replace the bulbs. I've never been accused of being smart, but it seems unlikely to me that all of the bulbs in this one section would go at the same time, so….

    Before I potentially break something by trying to remove the switches, wondering if anyone knows if there's something common to all of the switches in this section of the dash that might cause all of the back-lighting to not work. I looked through the owners manual, but didn't see a fuse that protects just this section of the dash. (All of the switches still perform their functions, I just can't see them at night). Does anyone know if the illumination circuit for this part of the dash is fed from a common connector?

    All of the other backlighting on the dash still works, and sorry if this is a redundant post.tacoma switch lights.jpg works
