Don't know. I guess you can look up the OEM plate and see what yers it will, then you will know if they are the same.

Or they could have installed lighter springs like I did. It worked really good after I changed the springs.

Glad it helped.

The purpose of the video is to show how to make the mounting holes for this type of lights that do not exist on older 3 gen Tacomas. the wiring can be done in many ways depending how you want the lights to light up. They can be connected to the dome light, an independent on and off switch or connected to power when you turn on your daylight driving lights or anything you want. I did a video on how to tap into the dome lights or look at a video by Yota Xpedition they show an easier way to connect the wires to the dome lights. Hope this helps.

It sure does.

I have not added an amp. I don't feel that I need it. I am very happy with sound I get now with this setup. I also changed the back door speakers and everything sounds really good. The highs are very nice and the bass response is really really good without distortion or rattling.

@@juliodavid49 I hear ya man. I just replaced mine also and am for the most part pleased as well. I may eventually get a small powered sub, but I’m not in any hurry. I mostly listen to metalcore, worship music, and symphonies, so nothing overly bass heavy. They have some 8” powered subs I’d like to eventually look at, but that’ll be down the road. Glad to hear you’re satisfied with your rig. I hope it continues to work well for ya. Thanks for the video, it helped me out a lot. Be blessed, sir, but most importantly, be a blessing. ✌🏻

Look at the second video.

Yes. I mention in the video that you can. I didn't do it because the buffer worked.

I already did it the way I did it. I am not a luthier but this is how luthiers do it. I would also not use a drill to do this because you might drill it too far. Have you done this on your guitar? I don't see how a drill in reverse would drill maple. Let me know if you have a video to see how you did it.

Can you show me the video you did with the correct way to do this? Or explain what the correct way is?

I still have the old package. It does not have a brand. The front of the package says "DIY LED Auto Lamp". On the back it has model number "LES-SG20SR". And I bought them from "luffygroup" on Ebay. They were 20" long. I don't know if they still sell them on Ebay. That's all I have. Hope it helps.

in what way is it off?

@@juliodavid49 It's off just a hair, I'm a perfectionist. I thought you might be also.

In what way? Too big too small? Left to right? Too forward too far back? Are you talking about the mounted plate? Or are you talking about the lettering?@@1718HULK

@@juliodavid49 I'm not trying to get you upset. I'm just talking about the lettering. I think it looks very nice.

@@juliodavid49 My personal preferences. I'm gonna do the same thing you did. But i'm gonna spray paint it black

Yes they are stock rims. That is why I had to add the spacers. The stock rims do not have the proper offset to keep them from rubbing. But I did not know that at the time. So that is why I did the video to show that if you keep your stock rims the tires will rub and you are going to have add spacers. I did not have the money at the time so that is why I did it that way.

Yeah I know. I think after 2015 or so Jeep started putting real horns on them. People kept complaining that they sounded like the cartoon roadrunner.

Glad it helped. You'll see the difference after you replace that crappy factory carb. Mine goes on with one pull now.

I believe I used the shadow black. But after it dried it looked a little dull so I sprayed it with Piano black which is shinier. Also the shadow black is a little rough and so I recommend the piano black, it is a lot smoother and easier to clean.

I didn't do it for the sound or because they were in my way. I did it because I did not like the way it looked. I don't think I "butchered "it, it is a modification. If you like those ugly tombstones on your dashboard then by all means keep them. But did you know that the 2015 and later models do not have them? That is because they were ugly and a bad design.

@@juliodavid49 they used actually grilles to cover them though. Not rough cut up plastic, more work for no benefits. But whatever floats your boat.

@@Foxfan78 Gee you seem angry and displeased with my mod. Of course the factory change was better. They are the manufacturer. They can manufacture whatever they want, they have the tools to do it. The point is that they got rid of them because it was a bad design and they were ugly.The plastic is all I had to work with. The benefit is that I got rid of the tombstones which I did not like. I was happy with the way it came out and that is all that matters. If you don't like it I really don't care.

@@juliodavid49 you must not understand what "whatever floats your boat" means.

Yes I do. It means I can do what I want. And that is what I did to my satisfaction. And maybe you shouldn't be so nasty with your comments.@@Foxfan78

Nope no sub. But I get really good bass with this set up. Bass is really good and no distortion. Crutchfield didn't offer me the adapters at the time, also I wasn't planning on using those tweeters. I was going to buy the Subaru tweeters but I figured since I got these I might as well try them and save a couple of bucks. I am glad I did because they sound really good too.

If that works for you then fine. Everybody does it a little different.

I've never done or seen anybody adjust the true rod while off the guitar. You don't have to remove the neck on any Fender to adjust the true rod. You adjust it as needed and re-tune it.

Well mine did and that is why I fixed it.

Well I guess you will have to call the Jeep manufacturer and tell them that. In 2015 they got rid of the tombstone tweeter and put them pointing up to the windshield. And they are still the same way today. I did not notice any difference in sound after doing this mod. And I don't see any videos of anybody modifying their Jeeps to face the tweeters forward. And I guess you you might as well call Toyota and tell them the same thing. The tweeters on my Tacoma also point up to the windshield. You might hear a difference in sound if they are pointing forward but nothing that I noticed. However you will notice a difference if you replace the factory tweeters with better ones. So do the mod and don't worry about it affecting the sound you won't notice a thing specially if you put better tweeters than the factory ones. Sorry about the long reply but I thought I needed to explain this.

Wish somebody would have made something when I was doing it. Jeep removed the tombstones in 2015 because they were just plain ugly and not a good design. And it did not affect the sound like somebody told me because they pointed up towards the windshield. I'm glad I removed the and I don't mind they way they looked after I did it. I now have a Tacoma and they point up to the windshield and the sound just fine.

Well some people don't take care of their trucks. Anything that you buy and don't take care of it will deteriorate very fast. My truck is washed often and is garaged, so so far no rust. Do you really think that the stock equipment is much better than the after market stuff? If you take care of it it will last.

@@juliodavid49 No I don’t necessarily think that the stock stuff looks better but it definitely alleviates problems such as burnt out LED pods etc. You can install super bright LED bulbs that when they burn out you just buy another bulb or even halogen bulbs for that matter. When you install a pod that is a closed unit you put yourself into a situation that if and when the unit burns out or stops working you need to buy another sealed pod. Those Cali pods are typically sold in pairs and here in Canada that pair costs $300.00 CAD. Much easier, cheaper and much less potential for headaches with just changing the bulbs from halogen to LED. There are so many LED bulb options that even reach 24000 lumens and you can even select amber or white. I’m in Canada, you have zero chance of those metal plates not rusting and corroding with the amount of snow that we get and with the amount of salt that they put all over the roads in the winter, even if you wash your truck every day.

I didn't buy the ditch lights from Cali, mine are a cheaper brand. The brackets are from Cali because they fit and looked better. You are right about not being able to change bulbs, So if you are worried about all of this then stick to factory stuff. I don't know what you can do about the weather, I guess you are stuck with that.@@giorgioskaraiskakis9548

@@juliodavid49 They do look nice but if you see what mine looked like when I took them off it’s the stuff of nightmares lol

I can believe it, winters are pretty harsh up there. So its pretty rough on your vehicles. One of the reasons that I won't move further north than NJ. @@giorgioskaraiskakis9548

Follow the wiring diagram that came with the kit. If you did not get one with it, look on line I'm sure there must be one.

I skipped it because once you take all the screws off, you can just pry it out with a small screw driver.

I think they are 1 inch and they might be brass, this way they won't rust. Yes the rings are for bungie cords in case I gotta tie small stuff down. They were left over from a mod I did on my old Jeep.

@@juliodavid49 Thank you can you recommend one to me? The ones I’ve seen on Amazon seem brittle and unreliable.

Glad it helped. That's why I do the videos. I was also going to do the Kickers but since my speakers came with the tweeters I decided to use them. But from what I hear the Kickers sound really good and are easy to install. Thanks for the comment.

Absolute nightmare mate. Everything about them is a pain in the arse, they look cool though and sound great, I love mine

If you spray it thick enough it you can peel it off. For areas that are thin, just use Goo Gone automotive and let it sit until it is soft and just wipe it off.

It will take a couple of days for most or all of it to clear up. If you have some stubborn ones that just won't disappear, just take a sharp pin and very gently poke it once then rub it with a dry microfiber towel. Get as much air out of it as you can. It might not disappear completely at first but mine disappeared completely in a day. Good luck.

It is a different subwoofer with a much bigger magnet. However it did not change the sound much. I think that the CD player did not have enough power to make a difference in the sound. I probably would have needed a separate amp to amplify the bass.
