4th Gen Exterior LED Light Options and Ideas-- Post 'em up!

[tannerk15]

I'm not sure if this thread has already been done for 4th Generations but I couldnt find one.

I have been looking into the LED Lighting options for the exterior of my '03 Limited and could not find a specific thread dedicated to showing the options out there for a 4th gen.

So post 'em up! This includes LED light bars, pods, etc.
Include what you like/dislike about it and a link to an instructions write-up if there is one!

I'll start with a few I know of:

Stealth LED Light Bar Mount: 30" behind lower grill

Put Rigid Duallys in the lower grill. Used a jab saw to cut the grill, drilled pilot holes in the cross-member, and attached the brackets with larger self-tapping screws.

More Rigids!
Finally swapped out the rigid switches for OEM tacoma ones the other day.

Picked them up from an auto wrecker last summer. Still cost me about $70 for the 2 switches and pigtails. Half the price of new ones from the dealership!

[MENTION=136099]Ratubbs[/MENTION] & [MENTION=131701]exo_toy.[/MENTION] I have seen these switches on Amazon before. Seems to be pretty reasonable price, although I can not speak on the quality as I have not used it before. They have ones that say "LED Light Bar", "Zombie Lights", etc just search.

Who needs stealth mounted? I just replaced the grille and did flush mounted :bounce:

Similar lower mount, used angle iron and made a couple of brackets, had it stick out a bit more to make it look more like factory.

I just installed this exact switch the other week for my 40" gobi mounted light bar and it seems great so far. Fit was perfect and looks clean.

Do either you or [MENTION=95673]SAR_Runner[/MENTION] know of a thread with instructions on how to do this? I know the stealth one used a mount built by a fellow member. Interested in putting one in the lower grill space but dont know which direction to go.

I've got a couple of these laying around in the garage and have considered doing this exact thing. Do you have any dusk/night pics?

I posted a lot of pics of my install here, and this is the thread from the guy who made the brackets, check it out and let me know if you have questions

My rear LED bar. Used trailer connector so I could disconnect and remove the light. The connector is water proof.

Lighting

I have a 32 inch led light bar on my Rola, and Auxbeam 4inch leds on cbi ditch mounts. I love my current setup.

I dont have a good write up but I can take pictures of my tabs since the part is no longer on the rig. I just cut out the lower grill with a hot knife and welded in two pieces of 3"x3" angle iron about an inch wide to the lower bumper steel. The light brackets mounted straight to that with the factory bolts and then wired it to a CH rocker switch in the dash.

Ill post the photo later tonight.

I have that exact switch, and I love it! Been working great for months. I got blue but maybe I'll get orange next time to match, idk haha

for switches check out OTRATTW.com

32" behind the lower portion of the upper grill. Stealthy for sure.

More details in my build thread. Page 4.

If you've mounted your led bar in the lower grille, did you have to remove the front bumper?
