    Any suggestions on LED replacement bulbs? The interior lights are pretty dim, but I'm looking more for the bed light. It would be great if that light was really bright to illuminate the area behind my truck when I go to work at 4:00 in the morning. I appreciate any input. Thanks

    I myself prefer Sylvania Zevo's (a true lighting company that's been doing automotive lighting longer than most, now basically they are Osram Germany owned)...true lifetime warranty and most are not made in commie china but Taiwan or Italy believe it or not!

    You're talking about bed lights? They make a kit for that p&p for 2020. OEM, but they are plenty bright. Also, look into meso interior lights. I have them and they are awesome.

    I’m not sure whether it’s the same on the TRD Sport, but my 2020 OR has a bed light accessory available from Toyota that is plug and play and works with your cargo light switch. No brainer, and inexpensive.

    I put the OEM bedlights in, and am happy with them. If you are asking about interior lights, try https://fyreflys.com/. I got the "Ultra Bright" version, and could not be happier with it. They make a very good product in my opinion. I have also heard good things about Sylvania Zevo, but don't have first hand experience with them.

    I'm 100% Sylvania Zevo (including headlights that don't require that anti flicker box") with the exception of signal lights. I will go with ones that don't need a resistor type, just didn't decide yet. But I can assure you that the Zevo's are second to none. Great engineering behind their products. Even the tiniest LED comes with some form of heat sink to pull the heat away. The only drawback is that you can't buy a dozen led's for $10.
