It kills me to see how much trouble you guys go to to put the nuts on the new light. It took me a grand total of about 5 minutes. Before you pop the light in, you hold your socket with the nut in it and line it up with the mounting hole from the outside thru the back window. You can clearly see from there. I started the nut looking from outside lined the stud up with the nut gave the extension a few turns to get it started, and then repeated the process on the other side. After that, I popped in the light. All I had to do then was tighten up the nuts and that's it.😉 I wish I would have recorded it.

Lol. 🤦🏻♂️ oh man. Where were you a year ago? This is some great advice! Wish i would have thought of that when i was doing the install. Thank you, i’ll save that one for next time.

Biggest pain in my ass as far as installing a light. I used a dab of super glue to keep the nut attached to the socket while trying to attach it to the new stud. A 8mm nut is hard to find if dropped! Otherwise you'll drop it over and over again and have a heck of a time trying to find it. I also dabbed super glue between the socket and extension and the ratchet. They came apart a couple of times and had to go fishing with a magnet. Wouldn't catch. Use a dab of super glue to avoid frustration!!! Good Luck!

You can also super glue a magnet to the end of your extension and that will help as well. But great suggestion!

Very good video. BUT the light in NOT compatible with my 2023 Sport. The size of the power connector is smaller than the female port. I have been thru 2 other vendors with the same problem. I was going to try a light from Tacoma Life Style but after watching your video I could see that the port on light is too large. ANY thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you for watching the best suggestion that I could have would be to de-pin the factory connector and take those connections and plug it in on the aftermarket light. You sound knowledgeable enough to do that if you’re not understanding what I mean, let me know and maybe I can make a short video on it.

Have you had issues with the led function not working or coming on and off from time to time? I’ve noticed the connection to the back of the brake light is loose which is causing it to not work

I have not had that issue that i know of. I do a lot of drone footage and have not seen that.

If you drop the nut just grab it when you pull out the light. It's a big hole behind the light itself.

You are correct. If you drop it while disassembling. But while reassembling if you drop it you have to take it all back apart, unless you use a magnet.

The factory is a 10mm and the aftermarket is an 8mm if i remember correctly. It’s been a few months, but it does say in the video which one you’ll need.
