    OK question... do all the 2023 Taco trim levels SR5 and up have a break light / cargo light combo with interior on/off switch? or is that an factory option ?

    MY SR5 build doesn't specify this anywhere.

    thanks

    I recommend underrail bed lights from @mattgecko instead of adding back OE stuff.

    You laugh…but these work well, and I already had them. Unfortunately my 2019 isn’t set up for OEM bedlights.

    I have yet to put them in my new Taco, but I have had them in my last three trucks. They are stupidly brilliant! (Is that possible?)

    I got the rear bed lights but they really only work for 30 seconds when you open the cab doors. I installed the Gecko LEDs on the carpeted roof of my Snugtop and ran it to a LED lighted switch thats always lit in the same spot Gecko switch is supposed to install. Couldnt be happier.
