    How's it going everybody,

    I picked up my first Taco this August and found the forums today while looking up how-to's for some of the mods I did. I replaced all the interior lights with LED's, along with the license plate lights. I was planning on changing out the fogs, but the bulbs were broken when I opened them up so that'll have to wait a few more days...

    I also painted the front grille (I couldn't stand all that chrome, no offense if ya like it) gloss black about a month ago but kept the emblem chrome. I have a few pictures coming once I get onto my computer if y'all like to see

    Big hello from NJ USA!

    Thanks!

    Really? What kinds of problems? They seem to be working correctly so far, no flickering or anything odd

    Edit: Theyre from checkitauto.com via Amazon

    LOL Just the flat rack. I already have LED's bars, pods, and a basket! The LED's were early on my list.

    ... and it's going to NY, where I'll pick it up. :thumbsup:

    Jeez at least I'm not worried now! My buddy put them in a few days after he got his, and it's been about 5 months so hopefully I'll be good??

    I plan on getting a 30" bar for the grille too...

    I'm kind of a hoarder with certain things, so glad I kept all the stock bulbs :)

    Haha, does it look legit? It's just a sheet of plastic taped to the wall and hung the trim piece from the ceiling with some twine. Thank god for the two little windows tho, I had exhaust fans running on high and it still smelled like a mother
