    Alpine stereo replacement, 6x9 Kicker front door speaker upgrade, Kicker tweeter upgrade. 6000k HID upgrade, Running boards installed, Rear seats installed, Pedal Commander, Meso Map Lights, TRD pro grille, Raptor lights, TRD Pro rims, 4600's Bilsteins, Diode Dynamics SAE Yellow Fog lights, Custom fuse box.
    I am looking to add some lights onto my Taco. I am open to all ideas as of now I like the amber lights on the grille like the raptor style. I also am looking into the light bar that goes with the grille. Just looking of recommendations and guidance in doing this to my own taco. So far only thing ive done is add 4.3k HID to my taco.

    I would get some fog lights to go in those empty slots at the bottom.

    Ok, I'll be the first one to ask. Are you looking for cosmetic lighting upgrades or performance lighting upgrades? There's a big difference there.

    If your answer to Too Stroked is performance... I think fog lights would be the #1 street legal upgrade to do. Also one of the more difficult, but not too bad for an SR.

    I couldn't live without my amber fogs in the snow.

    @ ANYONE I need help. I must be the worst DIY guy on this forum. I put the bed LED strip lights in my truck bed. I am not sure how to wire them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to wire them into my cab. I am fine with leaving the button in the back of the bed and wiring them there. https://www.amazon.com/Auxbeam-Ligh...Auxbeam+Truck+bed+light&qid=1588809542&sr=8-1
    These are the strips I bought hand have on my Truck.
