Let's see your 1st Gen switch setups!

Cause lets be honest. Thats the only time you use your rear lights.

 

Ha! I could see using them during put-in/take-out of my boat. Or camping, if I ever went.

 

Used them for loading/unloading bikes and camping. Only used them as fuck you lights once.

 

For completeness.

1. The left side:


2. The right side:

 

^nice. Did you have to trim a little plastic to fit them where the clock was? I just put the same setup in there but sideways instead because it fit better.

 

No alteration needed beyond removing the clock, just popped right in.

 

Interesting. Maybe I just need to push harder haha. It didn't feel like it would fit that way for me.

 

daystar rockers, one for LED on for Driving lights. I ordered these before I found out about the otrattww ones...

 

^ ^ ^ Get a new lower center dash piece (whatever it's called) off of a scrap Tacoma and then mount up OTRATTW switches

Either way it looks awesome & you did a great job!
Your truck is very clean

 

Are the Daystar switches just Carling switches rebranded? If so, the OTRATTW bodies would fit. Wouldn't need to replace the lower console collar. Could just order new switch plates as well, if they are.

 

Are you talking about the piece they are mounted to right now? I don't mind them there, I do wish my truck didn't come with 2 cig lighters though! I will get another piece when I add more switches like lockers and rock lights. Thanks for the compliments, your truck is clean as shit too!

Didn't even think of that, brilliant idea, I will find out about that!

 

Yeah if you really wanted OTRATTW switches but IMO those ones right now look really good. I know, I don't use mine they just take up precious switch space... which is already hard to come by!

Thanks, you know how jealous I am of your color though
I do what I can with what I got

 

Well you do a good job, yeah I will leave them for now, I like the green to match my truck. Although as soon as I turned them on at night I went shit why didn't I get amber to match the rest of the interior lights haha, o well.

 

Do what I plan on doing, change the interior lights.

 

Yeah then you'd have a Spec Ops interior at night

 

That sounds like a PITA, tear apart everything with a light behind it and replace with LED's? What color do you plan on doing? And where does everyone get all the LED bulbs for interior and brake lights etc?

 

I've done it 2 or 3 times so I can usually get it apart and back together within an hour if I'm hauling ass, but it's normally a half hour longer if I'm farting around


Interior lights I go through superbrightleds.com

Reverse light and soon to be brake light I bought off e-bay HERE


Here's a link to the difference between my stock bulbs and the eBay ones...

+1 on superbrightleds. Gonna get blue top match these beasts.

Let me know how those reverse lights work for you. I've seen 7 watt ones that I've been considering too like these:

So many choices out there without enough info.

Slooooow.... I can get my dash apart and the cluster out in about 15 minutes.

I've done it so many times...so...tired...of...doing...it... Last time I didn't even end up with any extra screws.

I'm going to have to take it apart AGAIN because I'm getting some new cluster overlay stickers shortly. I hate messing with the gauge needles. I'm so afraid I'll pop one off or break it. But the white cluster face of the later years looks so much better than the stock black that it's worth it.

 

I really like them, SO much brighter than the stock bulbs. You can see the differences here in this post: CLICK HERE

I don't have any experience with those bulbs you linked to, so... I no know

I just get bungered up when it comes to the heater duct and all the BS on the left hand side of the steering wheel column

I've never dove deep enough to mess with the needles, I'd probably paint them. Stock black looks better on white LED bulbs (what I have) but the 01-04 white control panels look bo$$ with different colored LEDs (green/blue/red)
