    I installed with power off and put the incandescent bulb back and the circuit is fine with all lights & clock working.

    I think I'll return the bulbs and stick with OEM.

    New Tail lights. Headlights will be here tomorrow. Got tired of my Silver Taco looking like 10,000 other silver Tacos where I live.

    Those are really nice. First aftermarket set that I think are better than OEM. Do you have a link to order those?
    I'm in Florida, so I promise not to match match your truck. Plus my front end doesn't look like any other silver Taco.

    Check the new LED, it must be shorted somehow. It's grounding and causing the circuit to blow a fuse.

    It's not a bull bar it's a light bar, Westin makes one and they are year specific. This one is for a 2012-15. You can probably find it cheaper than this.

    Alright, so the Subaru tweeters are a direct swap to third gens, but us second gen guys need to do a little more work to get them to function. Lucky for us, @Black__cat has put together a nicely detailed write-up: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...plicing-cutting-or-soldering-required.623038/

    I only removed the two middle wires from the connector and flipped them, rather than removing all four on each side, but the end result is the same. Sounds WAY better than those factory things that resemble (loosely) speakers.

    Using a recommendation from one of the guys here, I bought and installed today a set of the Maxpider Kagu floor mats. Seem very nice, good fit. My only concern with them is how long the rubber will last under my accelerator foot. The Toyota heavy duty all-weather rubber ones lasted two years.

    They are Spyder 05-15 SKU 5085467 Black LED Tail lights, I used The LED backup bulbs from the OEM Light Had a little trouble installing them, tight fit and two notches on the Passenger side upper socket receptacle had to be made 1/8" larger so the tabs on the socket would fit. Other than that no problem. They are not to dark and the LED's are bright. No hyper flash on the turn signal just a little faster than OEM. I got mine form Tacoma Beast, which is in Florida but you can find them cheaper. Check the Spyderauto.com site for more info. I also order som Spyder Black 05-11 Version 2 Projector headlight with LED DRL light bar SKU 5084514 should be here Friday. I found the Tail light to be of good quality first look and just those 1 very small issue that was easy to correct. Only time will tell how they hold up. They are not cheap. But I like the looks of them. Now I think I need to debadge the tailgate.
