    If my truck wasn't red, I'd go for these. I like them more plain. Maybe I can still do it but with black outs.

    IMO, those would look really good on a red truck without any tint.

    Just wanted to let anyone interested know, the VLEDS.com 3157 V-Star lights have been discontinued. Lack of sales was the reason given to me.

    Looks like autolumination.com has some though they are more expensive and not quite the same.

    Did you use film or did you tint them with spray on tint? Yours aren't very dark:p

    LED conversion on every accessible bulb, TRD exhaust (dealership threw in for free along with the Blu-Logic).
    All vehicle manufacturing companies are working towards LED brake lights. When I first saw the LED tails on Tacoma's I started to want my Taco.

    I like those too except I'd rather have a yellow blinker. That is also what I didn't like about my old ones in post #4 on the 05 AC. I left those on the truck when trading for the 08 RC.
