    Looked through the threads with a few people mentioning no temp increase noticeable from lights blocking grill. Current setup is shown in picture and I am considering adding the VisionX grill shown. Planning the twin turbo install in next couple months so just wanted to get thoughts on adding the extra lights if it would cause an airflow issue?

    Grill photo is what’s on website, but obviously isn’t for the 3rd Gen. Please picture the grill setup with the 4 lights, but in a Tacoma shape. The TSS system is disabled and will be removed.
