    Hey everyone!

    New member here, this is my new (new to me) 2012 Tundra, I got her a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier! This is the first truck I've ever purchased and I couldn't be any happier. So far there hasn't been any upgrades or modifications to the truck. I will be asking for lots of advice on good and bad parts. Thanks for reading and hope to talk to everyone again soon!

    Put some Morimoto Xb Led headlights on it. They would look sweet with that silver.

    I'll look into them! I wanted to get some new headlights, the OEM ones are starting to get very fogged over.

    Wow! Those are slick! I'll have to try to hunt those down in the marketplace for sure! Those are exactly what I've been looking for. However, do I have to replace anything going from halogen bulbs to LED? Thought I had to, not as simple as just un plug the old and plug in the new?

    Its all plug and play. The reason I'm selling mine is because I bought a 2020 so I'm selling my 2013. I bought a set for it too. They are pretty sweet.
