Man this would have been the greatest thing an hour or two ago... nonetheless i figured it out! They’re amazing! Wondering if someone could break down the adjustment knobs, was messing around with it, but got late. Will look at tomorrow.

 

You'd need to run the fuse tap to a switch instead in that case.

 

Brand new 2019?

 

Brand newish... a month ago, ordered the headlights while still in the dealership.

 

Andrew, great job on the full LED headlamps assemblies. They are getting great reviews from the 1st batch of buyers here on TW. The daytime LED’s look way brighter than the 2020 OEM Tacoma daytime LED’s, at least that’s how appear in photos. I also think your sequential turn signals sequence smoother than the OEM LED’s. I may entertain purchasing a set if another group buy is offered in the future.

Any plans to offer a 3rd generation Tacoma full LED taillight? It’s 2020 and Toyota is still using old school incandescent bulb taillight assemblies. Would love a high quality aftermarket LED tail light that looks OEM, matches the color of your headlamp assembly, is simple plug-n-play, doesn’t cause any error lights on the dash, doesn’t hyper flash when turn signals/flashers are activated, etc.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of these on the road. Build it and they will come!

 

I believe @eledobleu is going to open up the group buy again shortly if I'm not mistaken. There's another group buy in one of the facebook groups as well, but not as high of a discount as on here.

I'd be in for some taillights as well, but for now I'm LOVING my oem TRD PRO tails with @MESO's stage 2 total taillight kit. As bright as you can image, and the orange turn/hazard switchback bulbs in the reverse light housings match the new XB headlights pretty well.

 

Not interested in a stage 1 or 2 kit. More interested in a full LED tail light that’s plug-n-play.

 

Technically, stage 1 is a full LED plug and play

 

And technically, stage 2 is awesome...

 

I just got the lights installed. Confused why the sequently turn signal function isn't working. Following the instructions and unplugged the single blue plug-in on both sides. Any thoughts?

Also, when I have my headlights set to auto, during the day time nothing is on. I thought the DRL was on all the time, unless you turned the headlights to "off". Any thoughts about this too?

 

I think I know what you may have done. I tinkered with it for awhile, keep in mind I have a SR5 Tacoma that used the turn signal as DRLs.

The temporary guide doesn’t accurately describe which wires you need to leave disconnected for sequential turn signals. In my case the wires were both orange and preconnected. Once you disconnect them, they should be sequential.

I believe you left the wires that go to each headlight with the fuse tap disconnected, if you do that then you won’t actually be running the DRLs but a dimmer version of them when the headlights are on. In the OFF position the DRLs should be 10x brighter on than when the low beams/hi beams are on.

The question I have for anyone that may have an answer for is... When I have the lights on DRL or Parking lights, the ambers stay steady on. I’m assuming this has to do with my truck not having DRLs originally and using the turn signal. Wondering if there’s a wire I can splice, cut, etc that would turn the ambers off in these positions and allow for the DRLs to be in (just as bright as when it’s in the OFF position). Main reason is to have my fog lights on without running my headlights.

 

Do these work with the auto headlight feature?

 

Wouldn’t see why not since the sensor isn’t in the headlight.

 

Yes

 

Sorry if it was stated but I didn’t see it.
The second photo, the output shot, which headlight is the top and which is the bottom here?

 

Top is OEM

 

Damn that’s pretty good for oem

 

Definitely better than I expected myself!

 

Any chance you guys have done a more comprehensive comparison of the XBs to the OEM 2020 LEDs yet?
