    '01 Tacoma - Snorkel

    Backup/reverse lights: thoughts?

    Here ya go!... These lights do the trick when I am in the field...They are great and you can add some additional 'sleeves' to direct them at an angle. I don't remember what the greatest angle is though... Enjoy, BWJ

    What Lights to get ???

    My vote is lightforce... I have had the Lightforce Stryker 170s for about a year, and they are AWESOME. My next upgrade will be to convert these to HID someday. These are all that I need. Regards, BWJ
