TacomaGeneral discussion forum for the 2005 and later Toyota Tacoma.
This is a discussion thread titled "2005 Clear Corners (write up)", within the Tacoma forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
While it looks very good, I'd be concerned without some type of clear reflector replacing the amber one that was taken out, you don't want some NDF T-boning you at night because they couldn't see the front of the truck from the side.

if they can't see the WHOLE truck, I don't think they'd see the little orange/yellow piece.
I guess I was tired when I wrote that last nite, I mean at night, from a distance the reflector would add some insurance to an oncoming car seeing that amber piece reflecting off in the distance. You'd be surprised at how many people don't see the whole truck even in day light! I still think the mod looks really good.

Unless your talking about the truck being parked with no lighst on there is still parking lights and where the top part of the parking lights there is a reflector like thing in the housing. Thanks for the comments about the mod seems to look so much better to me
The write up worked like a charm for me, took me about an hour and a half. Looks very good on a silver taco, not that it wouldn't look good on any of them. Gotta get some LEDs now. Thanks Blang!

Great stuff guys, just take your time and you will be fine. If needed I could do another and make it look better, I hate being the geenie pig oh well if it helps others. If you guys have anything to add just let me know
