Foot Light

Quick question, does the Tundras have a foot light at the passenger side or is it just the driver's side?

 

Mine only has it on driver side.

 

Thanks! My wife dropped her earrings tonight and she asked me to turn on the foot light on the passenger side, I said I don't think it has one. She disagree she said well if the driver's side has one the passenger side should have one too. She thinks the light bulb is probably burnt out.

 

My 2017 SR5 only on drivers side!

 

Driver only. You can add LEDs as some dude have on here.

 

This is how mine looks

 

Looks like mine too! Courtesy of VLEDS inside LED footwell kit! Totally agree it should have come this way, but easy fix...

 

I plugged in an LED into the footlight on the drivers side.. but it isnt even close to what you have here.. This looks like the kit you are referring http://www.vleds.com/vehicle-specif...undra-interior/footwell/tundra-fwk-front.html

 

Yes, this is an updated version of the kit I bought for both front and rear. Just plug it in and route the LED strips under the dash, glove compartment and each rear seat.

 

And how the hell did you do that?!?!?!

 

For mine, I ordered the kits for the front and rear from VLEDS. It includes an adapter that replaces the bulb in the driver side footwell, and then I plugged in the LED string for the driver side and attached it under the dashboard with the included double-sided tape. Then, I plugged the LED string for the passenger side on the end of the driver side string and ran it behind the console and attached it under the glove box. Next, using the provided long extension wire which is plugged into the passenger side LED string, I ran the extension through the kick plate on the passenger side under the door sill to the passenger front seat. Next, I mounted another LED string under the passenger front seat, attaching it to the seat frame. The kit has a short extension that I used to connect the final LED string under the driver seat to the passenger seat LED string and mounted the final LED string under the driver seat.

Basically, the kit has everything I needed to "daisy chain" the LED strings once the driver footwell bulb was replaced by the adapter.

 

I did the same thing! I ordered mine from VLEDS using the older version

 

I installed mine yesterday... Be careful with those clamp on connectors used to wire in the extension. Those connectors are plastic crap.. One came apart on me.. The other failed to get a good connection. While installing the lights, one kept flickering out.. I discovered it was one of those connectors. I didn't want to worry about that connection going out eventually (which I am sure it would), so I cut them off and soldered the connections. I almost just ripped the kit out and went back to the single footwell light..

 

I also used heat shrink to help keep the connection together.

 

good point...I used electrical tape to keep the connections together...

 

I put the VLED kit in my truck about a week ago and I absolutely love it!

 

Will this work on an 18...my light on the footwell is tiny....

 

Yes I installed the VLED's in mine and I have an '18

 

so i plan on installing my front Vleds kit I got yesterday...any pointers? came with no instructions

 

Check post #12 explains how to do it.

 

Finished, little wire connectors suck, cut off wires and bonded the gather. 15m install, looks awesome

 

From the driver side, I used some 3M cable clips to run the cables to keep it from hanging and getting snagged. Stick the lights on your desired location in the footwell. To get to the passenger side, I passed the cable behind the dash...straight across . Any excess cable is zip tied to get your desired placement.

Basically, cleanly hide the cable as much as you can. Remove side panels if you need to.

From the Front Passenger to the rear, remove the side panel. I attached the light under the front passenger seat. Now, to get to the driver side, slide the cable from the passenger under the center console. Again, use a zip tie for any excess cable.

 

Worked great, amazing the light output

 

So, you guys ordered 2 kits, did you order and extension too?

 

I did not install the back seat lighting. With the led interior kit I get good lighting in the center/back

 

If you order the front and rear kits, the rear kit includes connection to the rear.

 

I'm curious because on their website just shows front.

 

@porkitt , did you remove the head unit to pass the wire from the driver side to the passenger side, to get through the behind the dash. Thanks, i just ordered mine. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

You all do white? Anyone do a color?
