    Hey guys new here. I installed a set of speed d taillights simple plug and play. On my 2008 toyota tundra now I just got the headlights and installed them and followed their videos. And the halos and LEDs work. But they turn off when I turn on my low beam and they flash like the turn signal when they're on. I am thinking about wiring them to the parking light which only turns on and stays on when I'm on my second light option that illuminates my dash and taillights and then will also stay on with the normal low beam and high beam modes. My only concern is that the parking light might not make enough power to power the halos and LEDs has anyone installed these before and it seems like that's the way I should install them to have them on almost all the time. Thanks in advance

    Perfect thanks I checked your truck out looks awesome! Lots of things that I want to do to mine aswell. After these I'm planning on tow mirrors. Subs or leveling kit not sure what first yet. For your leveling kit was it just the 5100 bilsteins or did you need extra parts? Or was it just the 4 shocks. And for sure the trd sway bar :).

    If I didn't get the spacers would I just run the fronts on the medium setting? And just curious did you install it yourself?

    Oh yeah forgot how those openings are broken into 3 areas. I think the openings are kind of rounded too, may not look good if you cut them. Maybe 3 separate smaller bars, or tuck one big one in behind so you don't need to cut anything. Those dividers will block some light but not much probably
