    I’ve been wanting to get these Redline struts for a while. I’m trying to keep my mod expense under control. Resist! Resist!

    But this is one of those mods that make working under the hood much easier. Worth every penny.

    does the prop rod lay down in that groove in the bpf cooling panel? will it work on a 2015 taco?

    Who made those lights?


    Love them!

    Wired to a switch so they come on when the hood opens?

    Mine have been on for 9 years with no issues other than my short stature.
    At only 5' 7" in height I have to stand up on my toes to grab the hood and close it.
    Wouldn't be an issue if the truck was stock height.

    They are actually some 1"x4" cob led boards I bought 6 years or so ago for less than $10. No name Chinese brand. They are in an aluminum frame. I milled out 2 holes on the back of each and placed some neo magnets into them. Can move them around in all directions to see better. No hood switch. Just a waterproof toggle by the radiator. Surprisingly they all still work being so cheap

    Couldn't tell you who the manufacturer is. @BamaToy1997 many years ago had a group buy for the big 3 upgrade. He included them with the entire kit. It has a digital voltage readout that I have never used but it had the terminals I needed for my accessories so I used it.

    Thanks, looks like maybe a kicker on the positive and xscorpion on the negative. While looking I found these on Amazon, pretty slick. Smaller but still with capacity for 5 ring terminals with a cover included.
