    I'm actually not sure. I think it's a lighter blue than what you'd think "blue" is, so it might match but not 100%. I'll order a set from VLEDS and see if I can't get some good pictures of it. They don't post pictures because it's nearly impossible to get a feel for it through camera.

    What can I build for you to get you to make a switch panel where the sunglass holder goes? :D

    First page has been updated with the current info. In short:
    • We are estimating $110-120 for two lights. You can add 2 more for $40.
    • Colors will be 5500K white, a blood red, and a lighter blue that's still darker than OE blue
    • Every box will have 2 lights, adhesives, a plug-and-play wire harness, a PWM for dual input, a mini screwdriver to set your ambient brightness, and the relevant extensions to link your two lights together. Literally everything you need to install without splicing.
    We are working hard to get these out before Thanksgiving.

    Very cool. I'll definitely jump on a set when they're out (going for the blue :D).

    I'm sure we can do a one-off to match your white; it just comes down to what we want in the pre-packaging. You'd prob need to go through VLEDS directly, though, when they're available.

    I'm in for a set, just let me know when. These black foot wells are the pits especially when what you dropped is black also. Think these would work on my wife's 2018 Highlander XLE? Since I don't chase wires anymore a plug-and-play installation is the only way to go for me. I should add that at my age the lights should be white.

    Thanks for your interest! There should be plenty for everyone. Unfortunately this will not work on the Highlander; the plug-and-play harness is designed for the Tacoma exclusively. If there's demand for other platforms you best believe I'll track down the connectors for it, though.

    Custom switch panels, wire harnesses, roof rack, light bar, ditch lights, rock lights, and every week more.
    Kyle suggested I work on one, so I’ve started. Realistically be done before Xmas. Maybe sooner just depends how fast the one I ordered arrives to pull dimensions from. On your dream sunglass switch panel, how many switches would it have and of what type? (xx Short, xx tall, switch pro, or sPOD, etc.)

    I am a big fan of the short OEM style. Though I guess technically the 3rd gen does have a tall switch, it just seems like a step child to me :) As to how many? I say just cram as many as you can in there! Sale blanks for the unused ones. I am guessing it can fit at least 8, maybe 10? I am not positive about switchpro's and sPods, but I think with short switches, there should be enough room to angle the switch face forward some. Maybe something like this for short (and maybe tall?) switches? Where dashed blue is the existing line of the compartment.
    IMG_0840.jpg
    Or even something like this since you seem to like a more modular approach? This would have a much larger face for sPods and switchpro's, though I am not sure about the required depth. The angle isn't critical, I just think the more forward facing the better. But I am more of a wiring guy as opposed to a designer. But thank you for doing something there, and I have faith whatever it is, I will be buying one.
