What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Thanks Brudda!

 

Thanks, so is there a little hole on that you run the zip tie through on the right of the pic, any picture of that part! Thanks brother!

 

Me so

 

There are 2 slots that 2 brackets slide into, the brackets look like they'd get screws or bolts but they just slide into 2 slots. I put the zip tie through the slot after I put the lights in. It may have gone through the hole in the light bracket but I couldn't see for sure. You'll see where I'm talking about when you get in there and look.

 

I like those. Is this the kit from VLED?
The OEM light is so tiny and dim, when do those lights come on? I thought about running some flexible LED strips to the interior lights somehow but the kit looks so easy

 

Yep vled and you unscrew the little light from under dash and plug in adapter where the bulb comes out then stick it on. Super easy and looks so much better.

I also found this thread posted by @Hoologan so big props to him for the idea. I zipped to a different area. Stole the pic from his thread https://www.tundras.com/threads/do-your-fog-lights-jiggle-try-this.22865/#post-698163
I zipped after I put the new lights in but both ways obviously work

 

I was just looking it up myself.

When do the lights come on? And is there a switch somewhere that turns them on if needed? Thanks man

 

I'd assume the light with some blue hue to it travels faster that just plain old white.

 

Think 5500 the the brightest white light and 6000 has a blue tint to it.

 

When you open door until you start engine. Here you go:

It's the same mod I did.

Yep I got 5500 pure white

 

Looks good! Now lets see the entire truck
Welcome to the forum!

 

What u use for the red lettering in the iforce badge, rest looks great. Love the sill in red, might have to do same. Any reason u did not do the 5.7 L on the badge too?

 

For u guys asking bout vled footwell. I did it long time ago but pretty sure I explained it all in build with pics of product, package and install. I did it June 24th of last year if u want to skim to that part. To sum, pull tiny out under wheel. If u do this way the lights will come on when door is opened or unlocked, then shut off after time with doors shut or starting engine. All u have to do is look at the tiny barely noticeable factory bulb in there now. U will see when it comes on n goes off, since they run in line off that they will all come on n go off the same times and in unison when that one does. Insert their strip to there, fix under dash, then they supply u with a connector wire off their led strip.

All u got to do is keep connecting strip to length, strip to length. I found mine was easiest to go around middle console hiding wires under the sides of it right around. The order I went driver to rear driver across to rear passenger then back upfront to passenger. Little gorilla tape under front dash and front seats does the trick. Just make sure u adjust wire length so that seats can move forward and back without pinching wire. It hides nicely up inside the bottom sides and back of the middle console. U can also run along sill but I took the easiest way.

They have all different white bulbs like mentioned above. Around 5k is purest white, below is yellow, and above around 6k blue tint. Very quality product still no issues and had over a year.



Hope this helps. Everyone who's asked me about and I pointed in direction was thrilled to do the same. Good luck, happy modding.

 

The HYBRID badge really pisses me off. I'm pissed because I didn't think of it first.

Kudos sir. I tip my hat.

 

Yea I like that as well.

 

My kids wanted to decorate cars for their championship swim meet this weekend so I directed them to my wife's car (leaving the Tundra window-paint free ).

 

My daughter and I installed these racks today. I'm going to take off the colorful brand logo on each of the posts...

 

I just smiled at all the dirtbikes.

 

Thanks brother,

I really appreciate the information, I had seen something posted a few weeks back but this is awesome!

 

Installed blackout vent rings.

 

I bought all the vinyl from TVD. The badge kit doesn’t come with vinyl for the 5.7 but I’m liking that a good bit of the badge is still very much blacked out. Who knows maybe I’ll eventually create that portion myself to have vinyl cut.
