    Easy install and lights work! License lights are toughest. If you reach underneath the bumper and press on the side of the back and have a tool on the front to get in between cover, it will pop right out. As far as the map lights, I found it easiest to pop the console entirely out and replace the bulbs that way and pop consule back in. Overall took me 15 mins to do everything and it is very bright! Here is the link in case you want to know cost and how much: Frye Flys https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KRNFQF6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    For maps I just put duct tape on the bulbs and they pulled straight out. Never had to drop the console.

    Tried that but the way the bulbs are wedged in there and when I took them out once console was out seem like they had a bracket holding them making it more difficult to remove with just tape. But hey, whatever works!

    Been a few years but I do recall using small needle nose pliers over the tape on one bulb.

    Today’s project.. Supreme Suspensions level kit for the taco. 2inch spacer up front with a 1inch block in the rear. I’m very satisfied with the outcome. Just need some bigger shoes and rims next!

    Where'd you end up cutting from the back, between the the lens and housing or just into the housing? You have any pics on what you did? I just got an extra set in so I'm gonna attempt this... :cool:

    So now I need to get them coated before I can put them on. I have a couple quotes that are wildly different, so I thought I'd ask y'all if you don't mind sharing the ballpark for what you've paid to get your sliders coated. Keeping in mind these have the additional step plates, but I can't see that increasing the price too dramatically.

    I'll be doing a flat black, simple power coat, don't need anything other than corrosion resistance really.
