    They're cheesy. Everybody and their mom are putting them on all sorts of cars and trucks now (yes I've seen it on cars).

    I've been down that road. I had them at one point years ago lol. But I've seen the light!

    Anywho, it's your truck so don't worry about the hate you might get. If you like them, that's all that really matters at the end of the day.

    It seemed like you asked why people don't like raptor lights... as the person above said, they are popular but played out. I don't think its the played out part for me... its more of the reasoning for them on Raptors in the first place doesn't make sense on Tacomas or other trucks. The Raptor with its wider body over a regular F150 has a federal mandate that requires additional marker lights in the front. Tacomas are not wide enough to warrant them. That being said, your money, your truck... do as you please.

    Played out in your community doesn't mean it's played out in other parts of the world.I live in Canada.Tons of people still use it.I actually bought that grille because of the hidden LED bar light as an add on.Tons of compliments already pouring in.Thanks anyways for the positives and negatives.
