    I’m thinking of installing cab running lights on my TRD Pro. I have been looking at these on Realtruck:
    https://realtruck.com/p/avs-aerocab-marker-light/

    I don’t have really any auto wiring experience. I see something that said you run the wiring down the A pillar and connect to the parking lights.

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with an install like this and the difficulty level. Thanks!

    I would be careful with the pillars due to the Air bags. Also I would be curious how they hold up through a car wash

    Looks the opposite of aerodynamic. Not like the Tundra is aerodynamic to start with.

    Interesting.... wonder how you get the power into the cab or even down to the battery without drilling

    Not sure where you live but check your local laws. Some states do not allow lights like that unless they were offered on the truck from the factory.

    Example - I live in VA....plenty of folks around here install "raptor" lights in the grill or up front somewhere.....then they find out they have to remove them to pass the Va state inspection. That could be problematic with clearance lights, since you are drilling into the roof!

    This model just sticks on the roof and you run the wire down the windshield in a grommet.
    Pretty jank

    Do you have a sunroof? I saw a review on YouTube from a guy with a Silverado who says it causes excessive noise with his. Just curious how a tundra with a sunroof handles it.
    I wish they came in white led too, not an amber only option. ‍♂️
