Tundra Total Taillight Kits - Hotshot Offroad

Gentleman. Scholar.

It won't really tell us whether or not they'll work in conjunction with our tails specifically, but it will tell us if there is a significant difference between the XBs and OEM! Appreciate the help.

 

Next sale will "likely" begin around BF as far as Hotshot goes, but I can unfortunately assure you these won't be included. The margins just aren't there, but I want to be able to give you the chance to run these bad boys!

 

Couldn't hurt to ask! The only thing I will say is that if you know you want to pick these up and the timing is right I suggest you do it sooner than later. Stuff isn't getting any easier to source, especially when we're limited to a single manufacturer! Never know when the floor will drop out and the line is all of a sudden 8 months long waiting on parts...

 

I don't know, but if I had to guess it's probably something along the lines of solid white with a snap over to orange when that signal is triggered. It's got an onboard controller, but I am not sure which it prioritizes. I suppose I can hook it up to the bench this week and see what happens though, for science.

 

Happy Monday everyone! Some bulbs showed up over the weekend so final testing/production is underway this week! We likely won't have any special packaging ready for them, but timelines for getting Option A shipping out the week of the 25th is still looking promising for those that are in early! We still have a few sets left for the pre-order run (5-5000k and 2-6000k to be exact) so if you're on the fence... come on over!



Also, I got the requested science experiment completed this morning. If power is fed to both terminals amber takes priority on the switchback bulbs. Additionally, there is approx 1 sec delay for the white to turn on after amber signal has stopped (if white is fed continuously).

Scenarios (I'm sure I'll be testing more for curiosity's sake) - I don't find myself or most folks under these conditions ever, but I suppose if someone runs a snow plow or a highway recovery vehicle this could be something you might not want.:

• You're in reverse, and you kick on your hazards -
  • Hazards will turn on, and since the delay to go to white is ~1 second you will only get hazards in this scenario.
• You have your hazards on, and put the truck into reverse -
  • Nothing will happen. The amber is the priority in the bulb's logic so it will maintain function.

 

Nope! (well secretly yes)

But I am not going to really discuss it until I have something worth sharing.

 

I can't wait for how squirrely you'll be once all of the HotTails folks start posting up installed pics/vids... and I still haven't formally announced Option B to the masses...

 

Not me! I would never!

 

Sweet! Just saw your PM too, and I'll answer everything shortly.

One of the questions you had in there that others may have is who do I use to ship? I ship "almost" exclusively UPS nowadays. Service tends to be a little slower in terms of advertised timelines and it generally costs me more, but I can more reasonably expect consistent service and good tracking for customers to follow. If someone wants/needs USPS or some other carrier though I can make that happen.

 

If you were really creative you'd convert the turn signals in your mirrors to amber

Oh. Yeah, never. Fedex is the bane of my existence. I ship wheels/tires through them. Other than that... Hard no.
