    Anyone suggest a decent vendor? Also any tips on installing? Looking to do interior (all). License plate and cargo light maybe.

    Lots.
    Headlight Revolution is a viable option as well. I've installed LED's from them and VLED's and both have never disappointed me... yet.
    HR is listed in the Official Vendors section for more information.

    HidKitPros they ship out in labeled packs with the tools. Did the whole interior kits and have never had a problem. Daughter did hers in Green mine was bright white. They do make a heck of a difference.!!:)

    I bought Fire Flys on Amazon. I think they were less than $20. Install was easy and they work great.

    I’ve been a fan of VLED’s since 2016, never an issue

    This is true, it’s best to keep an eye on their website and watch for the 10-15-20% off sales

    Best upgrade you can do right off the bat. I don't understand why Auto Makers still use incandescent bulbs inside the vehicle. They are yellow, they get hot, and they burn out. Replaced all my interior bulbs the first week. SO much better.

    Yeah, I actually had a issue with this when I swapped out lights on my Tacoma. Thankfully newer type LEDS are reverse polarized protected so you just have to make sure they go in in the correct orientation.

    Thanks guys. I went with VLEDs. Interior kit, third brake light, license plate, and puddle lights. That’s to start. A little pricey with others mods currently doing (window vent visor deflectors and esp storage). I would like to upgrade all other bulbs as well. Maybe even the LPR led backup light.

    How hard was it to take down? I did every bulb and some how pushed the driver side map light socket too far up. I’m skeptical about starting to pull on the overheard console though.

    The overhead console is easy to take down. I did it on my 2020 for the same reason as you! There are two #20 torx screws that can be seen when you open the sunglass holder. The other two are underneath the "business card" panel. You just pop the panel out with a plastic trim tool and they are right there! There is only one electical connector. Very easy!

    This is exactly correct. Took me 5 minutes maybe to take it down and fix.
