    I have partnered with a local machinist to create these fantastic spotlight brackets and bring them to market. These are machined from 6061 Aluminum and are made to neatly sandwich between the truck and brake light lens. No drilling into your truck is required, it is held in by the stock screws for the brake light lens. These are great for lighting up your truck bed at night, for checking on your trailer, camping, or showing tailgaters who's boss! They are better bed lights than anything mounted in the bed itself because they can shine from above.

    These are also available for second gens, they will have another hole drilled to line up for them. They will also work just fine on 4runners from the same era as the first gen Tacoma. (They even fit some Toyota forklifts!) These will come powdercoated black and threaded for a 1/4 20 bolt. We are also offering these with lights included, as pictured on my truck. These lights have 180 degrees of illumination, throw their light a long way out, and have red LEDs built in as well, so they can function as additional brake lights if you desire.

    The wiring is up to you, but you can see from the pictures how I did it. I opted to have my brake lights illuminate the red LEDs, but not do the same for my reverse lights.

    These can really complete the look of your truck especially if you already have lights at the bottom. These brackets work with first gen tacomas, second gen tacomas, and third gen 4 runners (same era as first gen tacoma) they will even fit Toyota forklifts! You can mount your lights to point any direction. Personally I went with straight back since I have a bed cover, but you could have them pointing down into the bed, or off to either side for on the trails.

    Use the "buy now" buttons above!

    Bump, loving my bracket and lights so far they throw light out very far. Helpful when backing a trailer down a long driveway

    You can run the wiring any way you want, that's the beauty of it

    I'm a noob at wiring. Do you have any diagrams (or writeups) on how to wire if I were to buy?

    I do not have any diagrams. Basically you get a small "inline" fuse from your store of choice, run that to a switch in the dash, then run a wire from the switch to the lights themselves. Wiring the brakes is a little more complex, but there are videos on youtube for how to test for the voltage and whatnot.

    Are these still being made and sold?

    How are people liking the LED light (if you did that option)?
