    Hey everyone! I am a new member here and I needed help with some upgrade tips and thread links for more information on where to buy specific parts. I’m sure there are threads for what I’m looking for but couldn’t really find it.

    2021 Tacoma Sr5 DCSB V6 4x2

    1. just purchased OEM LED headlights and need the harness to convert (where should I grab conversion kit from)

    2. Swapping interior map lights to led (I want to replace not just the bulbs but the module also) where can I find those.

    3. need recommendations on led fog lamps assembly (thinking rigid industries)

    I also got the TRD pro grill which I will be swapping this week, rear number end caps are being painted to replace the plastic chrome. I will post pics of the upgrades when i start on them! Thank you for the help and sorry if these are duplicate questions in other threads.

    A 4x4 swap would go a long way

    Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro's are the most popular as of late due to price, brightness, and clean light cut off.

    I purchased them from my local dealer Bob smith Toyota, I used to work for Toyota so they gave me cost plus 10% which was like $500 each but if you are interested I can see if he can give it to you at wholesale prices. Around $550 each

    @TacomaDre1 If your dealer would be willing to sell another set at wholesale, I'd be interested as well. Thanks and welcome to TW!

    Sure thing, you may have to pay for shipping... call and ask for Vince in parts 818-248-9363. He will be in at 10am let him know Andre referred you. I will let him know you may be calling so that he will give that price

    It would cost more than just trading your truck for a 4x4.

    Yup. Doesn't like me bringing all 1987-1994 parts requests. But he works with me. 70% of the time he is cheapest. 30% of the time he isn't, and i order at other Toyota dealers
