“From the moment I laid my eyes on the product I was in awe! Now that I have swapped them out I love my Truck even more! They look fantastic and totally transformed the look of my Tacoma.”
“These taillights look great! The only reason I give it a 4 star is because of the gap these taillights leave between the taillight and the truck. You can't see the gap with the tailgate closed, but still, the stock taillights don't have that gap. Although the gap bugs me, I still love the look of the lights when the tailgate is closed.”
“I expected to use factory bulbs, but there are wires extending from aftermarket led preinstalled bulbs which means if they go out, whole entire light is trash”
“Love the way the black tail lights look on my cement Tacoma. Easy to install and great quality. I’ve ordered products from a few different Tacoma websites and tacomabeast by far has the best communication and customer service. Will be purchasing from them again.”
“These arrived at my doorstep this morning and I immediately set out to install them on my 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. They came in a factory Alpha Rex box and were well protected…I inspected each tail light as I took them out of the box and found no issues.
They don’t come with any instructions but there are tons of videos on YouTube showing how to install them, though it will probably be quicker for me to list out the steps here than it would be to search YT:
1. Open your tailgate and, counting top to bottom, remove the second and 4th bolt holding the tail light assembly in place.
2. Remove the tail light assembly by gripping it firmly and pulling straight back. It can take a bit of force but I find one strong, solid yank will often pop them out in one move.
3. There are wires leading to the back of the old tail light. Disconnect all three and then remove each of the three bulbs from the tail light assembly by gently rotating them until they can be pulled out. Note the grey housing that the top two bulbs are in: you will be removing the bulb from this housing and reusing it.
4. Wearing gloves remove the bulbs from the two housings mentioned above (you won’t want the oils from your skin getting on the bulb’s glass should you wish to reuse the bulb someday). Plug the wires from your new tail light into the grey housing where the glass bulbs were.
5. Feed the wire back inside the tail light and rotate the grey housing to secure it to the tail light (the same way your removed them from the old tail light). If you purchased an LED reverse bulb then install that now. If not simply reuse the bulb from your factory tail light.
6. Plug the wires from the truck into the new tail light assembly. This would be a good time to have a friend operate the lights for you so you can make sure they all work.
7. Replace the tail light assembly on the truck in the reverse order of taking it off. Line up the two metal “spikes” that hold the tail light assembly onto the truck and push it back into place. Replace the two 10mm bolts and then repeat the process for the other tail light.
8. Post a cool picture of Instagram.
I’m very happy with the appearance and function of these tail lights. I’ve had them for just a few hours so I obviously can’t speak to their durability but I have a suspicion that these are going to provide years of trouble free service.”
