    Hello from Edmonton, AB.
    I traded in my Audi A8L for a Taco :) best decision I've made in a long time!

    2013 Access Cab SR5. A TRD wasn't available but from research in not missing out on much. Turns out each truck is wired for the extra options so when I add fog lights out should all be plug and play (fogs, switch, relay, some wiring harness)

    I did a White Headlight Mod and retrofitted projectors just last night. I also dipped the chrome grill bezel and emblem.

    Nice. I've done a few mods, would be cool to chat over beer some time...

    In my opinion, non-TRD is easier to mod anyway - less bells and whistles to work around!

    Hope your TW experience is awesome.

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I've lived in Edmonton for 6 years now, originally a Maritimer; Halifax, Nova Scotia. I would not trade our dry winters here for those back home. I am finding it hard to locate some off road trails within an hour of the city.
    We went down and did the ruby falls trail which was awesome!!

    I've been lurking for a year easy. I followed the BHLM and projector retrofit tutorial on here for reference.

    Ain’t that the truth.....I can’t remember what was being done but I was looking at a YouTube video of someone pulling apart the center console of a Golf GTI or something and to get the damn thing apart you needed a degree in rocket science and the patience of a saint.

    I was like.....
