    Like 'night and day' bro, good job!. Where did you get those LED's from and and were they a reasonable cost?
    I presume it's just like changing a lightbulb...bahahah (seriously, I have zero electrical skills)!

    I have zero electrical skill, so I can confidently say these are super easy to do. I suggest just investing in a tool kit to pry open the light cases without damaging them.
    I purchased them through https://www.superbrightleds.com/ - a few posts back, I have the pictures of each package and part number in case you want to reference them.

    They make the truck feel cleaner vs the dingy amber feel. IMO.


    edit: Post #3542 should get you the pictures.

    The front 40" blue light bar is a rigid radiance. The rear 50" red light bar is also a rigid radiance. The rear led below the tailgate is opt7 with white reverse lights. The rear bumpers are rigid dually floods. I also replace the headlights, fog lights, puddle lights, license plate lights and all the interior lights to LED. Here is my build link if you want more info on what I did. I ran over 200' of wiring for all my lights and switches. I soldiered and heat shrunk each wire connection.

    When I installed the LEDs, I couldn't believe how "dingy" and yellow the OEM lamps were! Good Job! My VLED footwell kit is actually an adapter that plugs into the OEM bulb socket and to small wires that allow connecting up to 4 LED strips (one in each front footwell and under each back seat) to light up all of the flooring. It turned out great! (just FTI in case yours doesn't work out)

    Easy enough to hide/run the wires around to the other locations? I'd be mostly interested in just the front for light, but if I could run to the rears well enough also would consider that strongly.

    Hi Krezz..yes, they provide the wires to connect the LED strips (4" strips if you order the front and back kits, 2 LEDs and appropriate wires per kit), so that you basically daisy chain them in one side of the LED strip and out the other (think of a 4" LED strip with wires on each side). The first one attaches under the dash near the steering column, then I routed the wire behind the console to the next one under the glove box, then into the passenger side kick plate and door threshold plate to route under the driver seat where the seat control wiring goes and then across to attach under the driver seat. I used tie wraps to keep the wires snug and out of the way, allowing enough slack so that they move with the movement of the seats. Let me know if you have any questions - they really didn't provide any instructions, but I figured it out easily.

    Post some pics of the interior led floor lights if you get time. I would like to see how they look. Can post a link to the lights you installed?

    My retros are out for delivery! Hope they show up before I have to go to work ...

    That interior light kit looks great! Maybe I'll have to look into that.

    Been busy doing simple things on my 14 Tundra. Tonneau cover, Fortin remote start, LED interior lights and just installed Spyder LED tail lights. Also put on magnum RT steps. Got the LEDs for them but waiting till spring to install. I also build my own bed rail system out of uni-strut. More upgrades in spring. Also waiting for LED headlights.

    My retros came in ... Looks like they made it home intact :thumbsup:. I'll try and tackle the install in the daylight hours when it's warmer too.

    Question for the TRD pro grille experts. I've got a 2014 sr5, I want a pro grille and keep the chrome surround, I know, give me shit. Lol. So can I just get the pro center section? I don't won't the shiny black either, I'd like it to be the charcoal grayish color like my grille is now, is that possible? Thanks

    It's not possible to buy just the middle insert brand new (maybe someone might sell one used) ... you'll have to buy it with some sort of lower Pro color trim) My suggestion is to buy it with the lower trim in the color of your truck now incase you decide to dechrome later.

    OK. Will the center section be color matched as well, or can I find one with the charcoal grayish color?
