    Yup. That link to the video I posted says this too. I adjusted my LED headlight set to be the same as my stock headlight set was before the change - checked before the change up using my garage door and marked with painter's tape. Then it was easy to check and adjust after install.

    This week...enjoyed my new lights and the ride of the TRD Pro shocks...two quick updates, though...changed rear license plate lights to LED to get rid of the yellow look and a little brighter. And I put a lock on my spare tire...

    I did, it's nice to have them back after ditching them with my Spyders. Do you need some? I have a pair on some retrofits I have sitting in the basement..

    What LEDs did you use for turn signals and side markers? Now that have the '18 OEM LED headlights and fogs installed, I am contemplating completing the LEDs for front turn signals, side markers, rear signals and brake lights (already did cargos, backups, license plate and all interior).

    Well now I see what all the rave reviews are about this TRD sway bar. Makes the whole truck feel different. Rear end feels more solid and of course going around corners and making turns on streets huge difference. I swear this is not the same truck

    so i get that it improves the handling characteristics but how does it affect the comfort of the ride. i have a PRO and the ride is the reason i bought it so i dont want to do anything that compromises that. plus id imagine it would limit the articulation?

    All I can say is for my SR5 TRD my truck feels totally different. The rear end feels real solid and as far as Comfort goes it feels more comfortable then before I installed it. A lot of members on here swear that it is the best mod they've ever done to their truck and now I see why...... I'm totally stoked

    I am JELLY..... I am doing that to my truck
    Lol.... once you get this sway bar and install it you're going to kick yourself in the ass for not doing it sooner. I am so impressed the difference this made with the whole way the truck feels. Another thing I've noticed is when you hit the accelerator the ass end doesn't squat like it used to.

    Nice - I'm running 100% LED lighting right now as well, interior and exterior.

    The turn signals are JDM ASTARs, got on Amazon, have had experience with them in the past with zero issues and they are competitively priced.

    https://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-Ex...qid=1517692621&sr=8-3&keywords=7444+led+amber

    I used these for the markers - I've never used them before but they are perfect in color and are extremely bright. I can't speak yet for how long they'll hold up, but I don't imagine they will be any different than any other T10 type LED I've purchased and used.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZ5FMUI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    You will need to run resistors for these turn signal bulbs.

    That's good to hear !!!!....I will definitely be checking mine @1,000 miles from now...... I've seen a couple people on here say they really didn't notice any difference. And that just blows me away because I noticed from the get-go. The feel of the truck just driving it let alone around corners. I definitely feel how the back of the truck is now more solid and also noticed immediately when accelerating that the truck doesn't squat in the rear end anymore. Couldn't be happier and agree with most everyone else on here this is the best mod I have done to my truck hands down.
