Anyone else find it a bit silly?

Or just try and avoid being pulled over. Lol.

The map light non existence sucks but I never really use my glove box so it’s all good. Good place to store my 300 manuals though.

 

So glad I am not the only one.

 

I’ll just end my convo here lest this thread get derailed into banned topic areas.

 

How is trying to avoid an issue with the Popo’s a banned area of info. I think it is good info and nothing wrong with stating facts. Keep your hands visible state if u have a CCL let them know and no probs.

P.S. Oh and don’t break the law if u can help it.

 

the way of the Tacoma is to fix the problems you find, not merely to complain about them. this truck is super mod friendly...

$20. stick on install. no wiring. looks great. magnet switch activation. i have them in amber in my glovebox and center console both. very happy with them.

That’s what it starts as but things turn political and this is just a thread about a light in a glove box.

 

This. I don’t live in a war zone and won’t act as if I do, for anyone. Especially if they didn’t war zone with me.

 

My new std. 81 Toyota pickup had no:

Day/night on the mirror
Passenger door open switch to turn on center light
Wiper speed
Floor mats
Cup holders
Head rests
Cigarette/ 12 volt jack
No radio at all
Clock
Trip odometer
A/C
Locking gas cap/door
Rear bumper
Right side mirror
Hood springs to hold up hood - like my 2016 now.


This is back when the SR was the high end model.

However I did have it for 230k miles untill the wiring started to rot away.

 

I got ya. Either way, if someone needs a glove box light that bad... Install that bad boy. For me I am gonna save my money for mods!!!

 

How have these held up over time? I have the hardwired flyezye for my 2nd gen dash but I thought about getting a pair of these a while back. Always nice to have some extra light, and nice they are battery operated. I’m about tired of wire tapping into stock circuitry.

 

And also had a Locking Gas Filler Door and a Grab Handle on the Drivers Side A Pillar.

 

It wont get locked, its a legitimate safety point I mentioned- I used to work late nights in San Bernardino and probably looked suspicious due to the type of clothing and equipment we had in our work truck (gas tanks , protective gear, and test equipment). So we had cops comming up to us on a almost weekly basis, and I quickly learned the safest routine- never move when they pull you over, hands on wheel, follow directions, ask permission to reach for something if needed, and if you are in a lease truck with a broken glove box light, NEVER reach into it without getting permission first.

Edit: just read JDevTac’s last reply above - you are right, lets just not get political. I really just meant the comment as just a safety suggestion.

Now back to more important issues with it - how do you keep all those manuals from falling out when you open it? I stopped keeping mine in there and just downloaded a PDF version of it to my phone. Now just the maps and assorted tools fall out.

 

Frickin' overhead eyeglass cubby is the same way !
AND.... the center console box opening backwards when it is so far back is goofy too !

 

*** YES ! ***

 

*** AGREED ! ***

 

Glad I am not the only one that has my sunglasses fall out, it also takes 2 hands to close it when you try to put your glasses back up, lol.

 

Yeah, I thought it was a fun mod to do too and had a blast doing it as well as the center console.....
but that was in my 12 year old Gen 2 !
You would think here in 2018 at $40K.... GGgrrrrrr.....

 

44 grand, and no light in the center console!!

 

Frickin' Piss Me OFF !

Gonna see if I can add some foam tape of something to keep the door from opening so wide.....

So many little pissant bugaboos !

 

well, they're like $20 or so in simplicity, and probably quality both. they are a bit fragile so they need to be out of the way, which isn't an issue in either location. i had one fail, emailed them, and i had a new one in the mail 4-5 days later no charge. no issues since in about 9 months.
