    Hi to all,
    I recently bought a 2016 tundra crew max 4x4 in blazing blue. It’s currently on fuel assault 18s and 275/70 ko2 tires. For me, it’s almost perfect as it sits. Except for a couple things which are; the 2.5 inch tilt in the front and the terrible headlights. Luckily, after some research on this forum, I realized there are many options. For the headlight issue, I’ve already ordered 2019 led headlights and the conversion harness. Only question on that subject is, wether I would be able to replace the amber turn signal bulb for a led bulb and only need a resistor? Is the 19 bulb base plug and play with the 16 harness? As for the tilt, I’m thinking just a 2.5 or 3 inch level, but are spacer lifts really that bad for non off road use? Is there any that are some what good?
    Thank you in advance. 1A28AE79-954D-43ED-8047-F8C97F863F77.jpg

    Welcome from NC! You should be fine just installing LED turn signal bulbs in the LED headlights with the new harness.

    Regarding your front level question the experts here are @Toytec Lifts

    Went with VLEDs for the turn signals.
    Just make sure you have the right base.
