What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

They don't reflect light back in rain/snow/fog like white lights do.

 

That's the theory but I sometimes wonder if it's true. I have yellow fogs but I haven't got a chance to test them in much fog.

 

I just watched a video on this. ^^^ You can add dust for dry areas. Doesn't have to be inclement weather. White light has a higher frequency and further range. Amber has lower frequency, less bounce back as @Festerw indicated, and better contrast.

 

Seems like it would be beneficial to have both colors. I know I appreciate the white light lighting up the road over my stock headlights.

 

I agree, if you have whites that use amber lenses that are removable, you can switch on the fly. Some use an amber LED. BD uses white with amber lenses, behind a housing cover. So, although you can switch them for color or pattern, not really on the fly. I didn't want to use amber up at the pillars, but after hearing @memario1214 and also better understanding the wavelength, I think amber pillars makes sense.
I'l likely go amber high and bumper and white bumper.

 

Yessir!

 

I’ve had white and amber on the ditch lights and I see deer better with the ambers.

 

2" lift?

 

Nice! Some real world experience. Thanks brother.

 

2.75" in the front, 1" in the rear. I'll get exact numbers and post them in the Measure Up thread tomorrow. Still had to trim the front bumper and push in the inside corner of the mud flaps. @Kimosabe helped me out with that tip. Worked out great!

 

Heading on a long road trip in 3 weeks. Decided to sand & cerakote my headlights as well as upgrading the harness & bulbs.
The lens looks much cleaner. It looks like the lens was so junky before that it seemed to reflect the light back into the headlight housing.
Now it's much better. Hard to tell if the light is brighter. I was hoping for a "wow" change, but we'll see when I drive in the dark next.

 

Spinners and 35s or GTFO

 

I stripped my front differential drain plug while trying to change the fluid. The design sucks and I guess I am not the only one with this issue.

 

I will be doing these to the buckets from @jImmegart for crackie.

Well the after picture with the tape off looks a hell of a lot better.

 

I know you’ve been ripped on already but this is my mental image of you.

 

I’m just gonna say it, I love you.

 

Its true. This is heavy fog season on the Texas coast and I work nights. So I use the shit outta mine omw home at 0400 or 0600 most mornings this time of year

 

White is great until you're on wet black top

 

I went with 4 bumper ambers and 2 white ditch lights

 

This happened to a few taco friends of mine. They ended up finding replacement plugs with hex bolts. In the meantime to extract the stripped bolt, weld on a hex nut and get to wrenching

 

Contemplated fixing my bed floor rust. I'll get to it sooner or later I swear.

 

I'm sure I'll end up with a couple extra lens pairs to test different color configs. And then there are patterns...

 

My ambers are combos with 4 LEDs, 2 spot and 2 flood pattern

 

Looks like the forward bolts are in some bad areas too...

 

Did it rust from the bottom up, or it rusted because water got between the bedliner and bed?

I won't use spray- or brush-in liners any more after seeing the later happen dozens of times on other people's trucks. Fortunately, all those I've done in the past were mostly on vehicles that had a snuglid, tonneau or similar, so not much option for water to get into anything.
