    New to the forum... Long time Taco owner - New member.
    My Taco is my daily driver. Now I have started a moderate modification program... my "MOD MOD" will be mild with a couple of inches of suspension lift - yada yada.
    I started with the turn signal relocation and a trim of my OEM front bumper. Here are some pics that others might find helpful.

    Thanks again. BTW... total cost = $11. Went to Autozone and spent 3 bucks each for the sockets; 5 bucks for two dual filament bulbs. Everything else like silicone, shrink tubing and such I had on hand. Bumper trim - free.

    Not sure there is a benefit. I did check into LEDs but didn't find a solution that would seem to work, so I just went with a dual filament bulb. The 1157 is a very common bulb. The socket that this bulb fits has two contacts and is also common. I'm VERY happy with the end result. It works better than I coulda hoped for.

    Get a long life bulb because the downside to this approach is the silicone will need to be cut away and redone when it comes time to replace the bulb. The lens is held to the back frame with 6 or 7 tabs. It looked like I could separate the front lens from the assembly, but when I tried it seemed ready to break. That woulda sucked, so I just worked from the back.

    Yeah, she's great. Beautiful, fun, outdoorsy, drama-free, up-for-anything... and just stupid enough to think I'm worth loving for 24 years.
