Tundra Mod That I Didn’t Know Existed

[@jameslovitt994]

Been using Vled products for years, top shelf quality.

[@user-pt6io2cq9n]

Glad you like them Gear Runner! Just got back from FLA today, so I'm just now seeing this. Still loving mine a year and a half later! Love the fact that they light my entire step bar up, especially if I have passengers.

[@gearrunner]

ɹǝɔʞๅǝss ɐqɐupou I really like them my wife was actually commenting on how bright they were tonight. I will be in Fl next month. Hope you had a good trip.

[@user-pt6io2cq9n]

@@gearrunner Awesome to hear! Had a good trip except the day we arrived...it was 42 degrees that morning, but quickly rose to 80 in the afternoon. Have a safe trip!

[@gearrunner]

ɹǝɔʞๅǝss ɐqɐupou Thank you. Glad you had a good trip with good weather. Hope it’s in the 80’s when we are there. 👍

[@karlc9376]

Thanks Gear! Great video. I got mine in today and will be installing those along with the interior and license plate LEDs tomorrow.

[@gearrunner]

Karl C Nice, let me know how you like the license plate lights. I’m still up in the air about them.

[@SuperMoon1972]

Just ordered mine , thanks for the video, never knew there was an option for this

[@Swindy1794]

Thanks Andy!! I missed this video, but i just ordered a set of these. My drivers side puck light burned out on my 2019 so hopefully this will do the trick. 👍

[@gearrunner]

You are very welcome welcome, mine are still working great

[@Swindy1794]

@@gearrunner … hey there! .. to my surprise these lights came to my mailbox today and coincidentally it’s 55 degrees out. I probably should have waited for warmer weather, but i put them on anyways.. WOW! Those are bright.Thank you so much! 😃

[@jimhendel9310]

Sooo there is the other big gripe other Tundra friends and I have.... the non-illuminating panel where the mirror and window controls are.... any mods for that?

[@mikewest712]

Those are the same switches my 07 has. Cmon toyota, give us a true 3/4 fresh tundra. With the v8 diesel.

[@552man]

Gear Great video as always. Like the look, good job mentioning the temperature aspect when doing these always want between the 68 - 78 degree range when double sided tape is involved.

[@gearrunner]

552man Thank you and yep just didn’t want anyone to install these and then not stick. 👍

[@kevinhawkins1985]

I put these in because of this video. It was like a 5 minute mod and they're pretty awesome.

[@shockjock35]

I wish I had puddle lights on my Crewmax Limited. Looks Great

[@Corvette.Ronnie]

Charles Stout me too

[@jasonmconnors]

Same. Just walked out to check mine because I had to make sure. I see the shape for cutouts but it's just solid plastic under there. Guess if I want them, I'll need to bore the hole out.

[@southtxroughneck113]

How did the adhesive hold up on puddle lights?

[@tylermims]

Same happened with the factory tabs on both sides of mine, snapped instantly. I can’t remember the brand I purchased for replacements, but they are awesome and look identical to the factory puddle lights.

[@turtlestomper3012]

Nice truck

[@gearrunner]

Turtle Stomper Thank you 👍

[@xdshooter1]

Cool little mod!

[@gearrunner]

xdshooter1 Thank you, I really like these. 👍

[@jeffbaker494]

I recommend putting electrode grease in the vehicle side connector as it is exposed to water....it will help it from Corroding

[@Ronnieprice1979]

As always, very helpful. Good job bruh

[@jamescarroll489]

Great content. Can I suggest including your Tundra year & trim in your description for all of the videos?

[@gearrunner]

James Carroll Thank you for the advice. I can do that. I had actually never thought of doing that. Thank you again. 👍

[@bern1228]

Great idea! Just had to walk out in the rain to see if my 06 Silverado had puddle lights. Sadly no.

[@alaric210]

Where did you buy them

[@ginmill1533]

Very cool mod thanks for sharing! On another note what is the song at the end of the video? Thanks

[@gearrunner]

Gin Mill Thank you, and that’s just one of the free songs iMovie gives you that KZbin approved and doesn’t break any copyright laws.

[@danner182]

DId you do 5k or 6K?

[@lxxs3v3nxxl]

How have those held up after a few years?

[@gearrunner]

It’s been around 3 years or so now and they still work great. One did drop out but it was because the double sided tape came loose the light still worked. I actually glued it back in with no problems since.

[@tankeryankercruz7795]

Your fucking awesome bro intro is killa

Gear Runner Nice Mod Andy. The Slowmie JR is looking real nice 😂😅😇😆😜😋

[@rubenfranko6600]

Hi Gear runner, where did you get those side view mirrors with turn signals. Thank you for all your video’s.

[@gearrunner]

Ruben Franko Hello Ruben, the Platinum trim level comes with those from the factory.

[@rubenfranko6600]

Gear Runner , o well thanks for your answer.

[@gearrunner]

Ruben Franko You’re welcome. Sorry I couldn’t help.

[@justindavis5983]

wow thats a huge improvement!!! and I think your truck needs a wash😂

[@gearrunner]

Rebel Rouser It really does. You going to do that while your down here? 😂

[@DaVisionOutdoors]

Walking out to my truck right now to see if I have lights under the mirror. Btw this my 2nd tundra! 2018 TRD Sport

[@toddh4617]

Does anyone know if the lower trim models, like the SR5, have been pre-wired for these puddle lights? Mine doesn't have a light, but I could install my own if the wires were there.

[@meltdownblitz]

I believe these are only available on the platnium model. Don't think my limited has these lights but I will edit if they do.

[@gearrunner]

ReisTV I can’t remember if they do or not.

[@meltdownblitz]

Yes only on platnium model. My 17 limited doesn't have it.

[@gearrunner]

ReisTV The 1794 also has them. 👍

[@alsknwlf]

My 07 limited has them.

[@caseykubota]

Thank you for the info brother, but I gotta say, if it ain`t broke why fixit?

[@mackjones7688]

If you wanna fix it and it ain't broke. Why not take it apart to see how it works? ... you know, for research. Oh no! I broke it. Time to upgrade! If you need more justification. The plastic was old and brittle. It was waiting to fail. Notice how no one is complaining about Toyota quality in the comments when that puddle light broke when he tried to take the factory pod out of the mirror. Unforgivable with any other brand.

[@peterpop3587]

Can I ask why didn’t you get the lights that snap fit in like the OEM do?

[@gearrunner]

Peter Pop I don’t know of anyone who makes those in LED.

[@Cribbage1682]

Thinking about adding to my tundra. Let me know how the adhesive hold up. Thx. Ron.

[@gearrunner]

Ron Spears I sure will 👍

[@sambowles9746]

@@gearrunner Nice vid, thanks for creating it. Appreciate the great content on your channel. Can you update on how the double sided tape has held up since the install ~2 years ago?

[@TheBoardWoodworker]

I need to check to see if I have these. If I do they are so low I cant tell i have them

[@gearrunner]

EDGE everyday I believe you should have these on your truck. Our trim level should be the same.

@@gearrunner I looked I do have them I thin kn I need to order them

[@gearrunner]

EDGE everyday I think you do lol

[@Corvette.Ronnie]

Really nice job! What year is your Tundra?

[@d.jaxxson6227]

Hey Gear! What made you pick the Platinum over the TRD Pro or the Limited? I watched how the F150 almost caused a major, major accident and that was a game changer for me. My next and last truck will be a Tundra.

[@gearrunner]

Dazz Jackson It really came down to right place at the right time. I found a demo with like 14k miles on it. Not already had the lift and exact wheels and tires in it that I wanted. I couldn’t pass it up.

[@MiguelGonzalez-vj1gv]

Will the rain effect the tape that is on it?

[@gearrunner]

Miguel Gonzalez I hope not. It looked to be the good 3M double sided tape so there shouldn’t be any issues.

[@RobMotive]

That’s great! Wonder if I can do this with the Taco? (BTW...your truck needs maintenance 😁)

[@gearrunner]

ThrobbNation Yea I’m about 500 miles from an oil change. Lol I’m not sure if the Tacos have these or not.

[@RobMotive]

Gear Runner Yup...Tacoma’s do take oil😆😆

[@gearrunner]

ThrobbNation Even the 2wd ones? 😂😂

[@elisonpolicarpio7433]

Where did you buy it that’s awesome 😎

[@joeylk4d4]

Anyone done this upgrade on mirrors that don't have these lights already? Just wondering if they're pre-wired already.

[@jasonmconnors]

Inquiring minds want to know.

[@asaffarfar1529]

What year is your truck. I don’t have it on my 2017 ??

[@gearrunner]

Asaf Farfar Mine is a 2016. I think only Platinum and 1794 have them.

[@asaffarfar1529]

Gear Runner I had a feeling you’d say that.

[@gearrunner]

Asaf Farfar Yep sorry

Somebody needs to show how to switch the gearing in the rear end of these tundras from 430s down to 373’s so they get decent mileage

[@mominagha]

Just saw your video link in a fbook Tundra group

[@Fatenah1973]

Gear, what you didn't share is whether you went with the natural white, or pure white! We can't be copy cats if you don't share every detail lol.

[@gearrunner]

Lol I think I went with pure white.

[@jaysamson1185]

Hey good video, except, you said this is how you install puddle lights? That's not true because not all Tundras come with oems puddle lights. All others will have to run wiring. So you should say, "upgrade" existing. Not install.

[@gearrunner]

Jay Samson But I did actually install the new lights!

[@jaysamson1185]

@@gearrunner what you did was replaced it. Lol it would take more work to install it on non existent. Anyways. Vleds for the win

If my mirror has a light under it, I've never noticed it.

Jeff Gibson I think it’s only the Platinum and 1794 that’s have them.
