Thoughts on raptor lights on the Grill. Should I be ashamed to have them or not?

Yes

 

Yes

 

I mean you might have a point

My windshield shed water onto the floor
there's a TSB but my truck is old with miles
the piece of $5 plastic they're mighty proud of goes for $330

so I fixed it with Harbor Freight's version of Flex Tape

 

The raptor light shame can be completely offset by installing front bumper nipple rings and hitch nuts...

 

I was fine with them in my grill, until I saw them on a Suburban and a Subaru in the same day.
That's when I pulled the plug.

 

Ask the guy at Pep Boys and see what he says... That way you don't have to think about it.

 

All depends on what you're looking for. I sold a Gen2 Raptor for this Tacoma

 

Is anyone else paying for your truck? If not, it's yours. Make it what you want. If other people give you flack for it, you either care or don't.

Be like the retards with barrel wheels and rubber band tires. Take the heat and enjoy the truck as you prefer to have it.

 

why

 

It's been more than one occasion where I have seen HD trucks with OEM cab lights and aftermarket Raptor lights. The last one I saw didn't look bad, but that's two stories of marker lamps. I think there was some others lights somewhere else on the truck.

 

Yes, but people will do as they want. I think it's silly now once I learned why the Ford f150 Raptor has them, because vehicles that wide require it. Ours is not that wide.

 

is your truck wide enough to need clearance lights?

 

If you like them, install them. Just don’t call them ‘raptor’ lights. That’s a bridge too far.

 

Ashamed, huh??? Why? Because of what someone says about your truck! Couldn’t give two poops what someone thinks! Pro grill on your base model, OR, sport?
Even other Ford trucks have them, I don’t want a Ford, just like the look of the lights!

I like them on a Raptor. On anything else, you're a poser. It's like the guys who buy Rubicon badges and put them on base model Wranglers and TRD Pro stickers on SR-5 Tacoma's.

I wouldn't mind if Toyota came up with some sort of distinctive feature that is only on Tacoma's. But I wouldn't copy something distinctive to another manufacturer.

 

Not for me but I don’t hate on the people that have them.

 

I hear those lights are needed to illuminate the mall speed bumps.

 

Add the badge too.

 

Only if I could fit a Coyote in my taco... God I wish I could! Them bitches huge!!!
