    Too many other things to spend money on.
    Only a couple of times it annoyed me.
    Lights just attract bugs.

    I would have stayed stock if it weren’t for the Tacoma interior kit offered by VLEDS. That is really the only brand for a “bulb” form of LED that I will run because they are the only brand I’ve found that doesn’t suck. They last practically forever, the white is not a blinding blue 6500K, and the brightness is not 6 million lumens. If there is a perfect interior LED, the VLEDS options are it. If these didn’t exist then I would be stock inside for sure.

    I mostly wanted the footwell kit and wanted the interiors to match the footwells. Thrilled with my setup months later, I don’t anticipate ever changing.

    These are the LED lights I went with too. Even the reverse lights. Very good LEDs IMO

    I noticed the same thing. I think the power window might have the same effect. I'm curious if this is potentially damaging to some circuit board. It is only for a split second

    I got them...since I was basically doing LED on the outside of my Sport anyway.

    I don't really drive too often at night...

    Here's the difference shown at daytime:

    I've been blinded by too many LED light bars, so now the PTSD keeps me from wanting to deal with them at all.

    I’ve got them anywhere there is a spot for a bulb. Only brand I’ll choose and I’ve tested tons. Never had a single failure either.

    Oh, you are not old!

    I'm 56 and from SoCal but living in Delaware via USAF retirement.

    Plus, my mom lives out your way...in Rancho.

    INLAND EMPIRE!!!!

    I prefer flying into ONT airport vs LAX for sure.

    Only filament bulbs on my truck are the license plate lights - not in my best interest to make them brighter.

    I put DD warm white festoon LEDs in the vanity lights for less glare.

    Here's the difference...plus, I'm using anti-glare covers.

    Be sure to get some lens glare covers.

    MESO v1 duals ftw. The red map on the passenger is useful when drinking coffee pre-sunrise. Just got the license plate lights and 3rd brake light still stock. Even changed the vanity lights because I ordered the wrong size bulb. I’ve been putting red vinyl tape on my interior lights for years. Not the reason, but my ex hated it.

    The thread about frying some body control module and costing a ton of money to repair scared me off. Is it a significant risk or is it caused by not being careful when installing?
