THExBUSxDRIVER's "Ol Man Tan" BUILD

Thanks Cam!

 

Well a couple weeks ago I was looking at my truck at night (parking lights were on) and it bugged me that it only had ONE amber light and it was off to the corner in a weird spot. Not a problem for newer Tacos that have the DTRL's and yes I could have done the DTRL mod but....I didn't want to

I looked at my headlights any chance I had ti figure something out and noticed the spaces above and below the signal light and began to search for a light small enough to fit there.

I came across superbrightleds.com and started browsing. There were a couple options but I went with this one



The height was perfect although I wish it came in a longer size (thought about wiring two in there but decide one on each side would do.)

Did the routine BHLM steps. Drilled a hole on in the bezel and headlight housing to run the power wires for the LEDs then sealed the holes with silicon. Sorry, no pics of these steps as I didn't think it was going to work.

Quick test of the lights



Spliced into the corner markers





YES marvel at my glorious tape job

I also put quick disconnects to allow headlight removal if needed.

Bolt the headlights back up and plug the light in and voila!







And of course I gotta Instagramize it



All in all it wasn't that hard to figure it out. I know it's not an extravagant mod but it's different and I ended up liking it a ton!

Difficulty rating: 4/10

 

Looks Good! its subtle yet unique. I like it alot!

 

Thanks man.

So I read you have stock packs for sale. A pair or just one?

 

Pair. Come get them! my garage is cluttered

 

Might have to muahaha but I won't be in MB till the end of the month.

How many miles on them?

 

What do you need a stock leaf pack for?!
and i leave for college the 23rd..

A lot of miles ha like 130000. 2 Leafs and overload

 

I wanted them to build up a OMD pack

 

O just come get everythingout of my garage then hah

 

Probably won't be able to get there before you leave. It's all good man.

 

Where you located at?

 

your front end is lookin sexy... damn makes me wish I had your color its ust looks soo clean!

 

Visalia but I hang out in MB at least once a month. Sometimes I just go sit and chill on Dog Beach, your neck of the woods.

Thanks brotha. How is your beast coming along at Engage??

 

There is no DSM colored matched grill that is OEM because they never made a TRD Sport in that color (I used to have a DSM). Any that came were either the chrome or the base black color. I would look KILLER to have it. I should have done it to mine but never did. Your truck has always been one of my favorites and gets me nostalgic on my old on. Keep up the good work man!

 

Daww thanks man. I started modding mine after seeing the color scheme on yours. It "inspired" me.

BTW my ass got lost in Campbell last month I was on my way to Santa Cruz and somehow ended up in your neck of the woods.

 

Hmm well maybe ill find a reason to head north haha

 

Awesome yours is coming out real nice! Haha that's a bummer! Seems like you just got off a little early. I live basically right at the entrance of 17 hah. Hope you had a good time in SC.

 

Im probably gonna have a fun day at the junk yard soon to look for leafs. Was it easy?

Ya I had fun man. I heard bad things about SC and the boardwalk but I ended up enjoying it.

 

Lame haha i need to get these out of my garage before i leave to college. Really easy! make sure you go pick up a set of 5-10 grinder wheels

 

What vehicle did you get the leafs from?
