    I did the VLED tail light conversion kit. Very happy with my choice, great LEDs, changes the entire stock assembly look. I do recommend this kit below:
    https://www.vleds.com/featured-vehi...ndra-vt-v6-extreme-tail-light-conversion.html

    Also swapped out my front LED turn signals with these:
    https://www.vleds.com/shop-application/turn-signals-front/7440/7443-50-hv-amber-2.html

    Contemplating on doing the Fog lights (amber or white?) and haven't decided on my cargo/third brake light. I swapped out all my interior bulbs first week of ownership, surprised they weren't factory LED, ($25 kit on Amazon :thumbsup:).

    I have the taillight conversion as well, but recently noticed every once in a while the reverse lights (one or both) fail to come on.
    I used my security camera to check and it failed like 3 out of 25 reverse gear changes.

    There’s a 2WD light? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

    I’ve noticed this of I don’t straighten out the wheels and let off the gas for a second or two.

    The FRAC Harness is powered by the Head Unit’s ignition power circuit through the harness itself. So unless the ignition is on, the FRAC circuits can’t physically draw any power.

    If the front camera is installed as recommended, it is powered by the same ignition source via the FRAC cam power lead. So it will also draw zero amps when the ignition is off.

    Some guys have connected their front camera to a constant 12v source. I don’t recommend this approach. If this is done, then there will be a constant low current drain on the battery. This can cause issues over time.

    Not sure how yours was wired, but i would check that.

    I have helped a couple guys resolve some power issues where the power lead from various mods had been pinched to the chassis during re-installation. If a power wire insulation is not damaged enough to short out immediately, then over time with normal road vibration the insulation will still gradually wear down. Initially there may not be enough continuity to blow a fuse, but it can still cause excessive power drain until the time it fully shorts out. Those are the hardest problems to find. So I would inspect all modded wiring carefully.

    I’d be interested in understanding any “weird” issues that may have been caused by the FRAC Harness. Quality is very important to me and I fully test every harness before it is shipped out. That said, problems can still arise so I also work hard with anyone having technical issues in order to resolve them.

    Couldn’t wait so last night I insralled the rear EKE seat covers. Great fit and look in my opinion. Hardest part was getting the head covers on. Ended up taking them inside to let them warm up a bit before pulling them on.

    I do understand that. I have no complaints. You have great product and I like to support small business.
    For me, if something doesn’t work or I don’t like it, I just replaced it with the other product till I like it.
    That’s why I had 3 different kinds of suspension sets on my truck ;)
    Give me your address and I will send the harness back to you for your investigation purposes.

    Do you have a link for these? I am looking for seat covers for my 2019 tundra. The ones I got off Amazon fit poorly!

    These really fit that well...? I've had them in my cart for a couple of months and haven't pulled the trigger because of some pictures I've seen of them fitting loosely (on the back seat mostly). I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the installation...?
    I was thinking this would be a cost effective way to add seat heaters, as I don't trust myself to take off and re-secure my factory cloth seat covers.

    I say do it. I was the same way they were on my wishlist for a few months before I did it. My backseats fit snug and are not losse at all. I installed mine while it was cold and didnt have to do any extra pulling or stretching to get them to fit right.

    They fit great. I did mine cold as well and thought the fit was pretty impressive considering cost. I am not sure I would put heaters between them and the original seat though, but I don;t know much about it.

    My backseat was a little loose, but once it heats up here in MA I will adjust accordingly. One day soon it will be hot again...

    Hah no problem! I figured worst case even if it wasn't a great fit, its still WAY cheaper than Katskins or some other custom covers out there...Plus it's always fun to be pleasantly surprised by something you don't have high hopes for!
