    I like the fact that you took the time to go through step by step on installation. Been finding it hard to find other RUclipsrs who actually take the time to show these steps. I also have a Tacoma and thank you so much for how you did your video!

    Thanks for sharing. The tape trick to remove the map bulbs prevented me from checking into a mental facility, lol. Cheers

    This video was a massive help and saved me an hour. If you have trouble with the rear taillights just use long needle nose pliers like I did to untwist the housing. Thanks man.

    I was punching the air watching you ignore the off switch for the lights when replacing them but that’s just my ocd lmao! Great vid and the tape trick was really helpful

    Hi Guys! I have a 2018 Tacoma off road. Instead of changing the map lights and trying to use the tape method, its WAY easier to use a pry tool and take the entire overhead console down. You can then unplug the one large white center console plug. You now have that entire console loose in your hand. Lay down a towel on your table, place the console face down, turn the map light bulb socket to unscrew it, take the old bulb out, put in your LED. Back to the truck....plug the big white plug back in, check your lights are working. If not turn them around and they will work. Simply snap the console back up. I was done with those evil little bulbs in under 10 minutes or less. Forget that tape method. FYI, there is also a setting on your map lights so if you walk up with your key fob close to the truck the lights automatically come on. MAN WAY FRIKKEN EASIER.

    This was a massive help! Thank you for making this video! The plate lights were a PITA! But once I got one figured out the other one was easy. Thanks again!!

    Great job. Only one I did differently was the map lights. I took the whole console down from the ceiling. Scary but it comes right off. Pull from cabin side first, then windshield side. You can get your fingers in so grip isn’t an issue. So easy to twist the lights off from the back side. Took 5 minutes. The license plate lights were really fun! Not!

    LOVE them, however 2 didn't light, so i will see what Amazon can do. ALSO... the dome light above the back seats, those pointed ends just spin in the holes. there's nothing securing them. As i put the cover back on, the bulb spun upside down. As it's only lite on one side of the bulb. Any recommendatios?

    • @GearKnowHow
      @GearKnowHow  3 года назад

      Weird, no issues from mine yet. The dome light I ended up pinching the two ends to get a tighter grip on the bulb. I’d send your set back for a replacement via Amazon.

    Here's the problem with all of these "Tacoma Interior bulb installs" You never mention the size bulbs required for the project. It would only take an extra few seconds. Instead watchers of these videos will have to go to the user manual and look them up. If I have to do that I'll just continue and read the manual for install instructions..
