    Maybe next time I am down there. I used to keep South American cichlids and then moved on to reef tanks. Then I went broke and couldn't afford to keep the crazy expensive metal halides on anymore. LOL

    Wait, that's not an Asian is it?

    LEDs are the replacements for metal halide bulbs used in coral & reef tanks.....their cheaper to run (y)

    A relay harness will help on the 2012 w/the auto on & off lights.

    The reason it help is because when the switch is in the auto position & u power on, the lights turn on right away however it take a few secs for the relays to transfer power from the accessory battery to the traction battery. During this time the ballasts aren't getting the proper amount of power that they need during warm up. So sometimes the bulbs don't light up......sometimes they do

    A relay harness will prevent this from happening.

    They didn't have high powered LEDs back in the day. Now I have a girlfriend who won't permit such a mess in the house. LOL

    Didn't like the cheap look of the plastic wheels (don't understand why Toyota puts really nice alloys on, only to cover them up with cheesy looking cheap plastic covers).

    Anyway, after bouncing around a few ideas I settled on popping off the covers, adding a center cap (Home Depot style painted with textured chrome enamel for now as described elsewhere on this site). I stuck with that for about a week but it looked like it needed something more--visually without any separation between the weel and tire I thought the black alloys looked a bit off... especially since these are 'normal' tires not the super thin type often found on black alloys.

    Decided to add a red pinstripe using a thick vinyl product I found at AutoZone. Was an easy install and am very pleased with the results. I think the visual separation between the tire and wheel really sets it off. All for less than $20.

    A few more photos over on the main thread where I was bouncing some ideas around:
