Thank you sir. I installed it to the wire coming out of the passenger side tail-light's reverse bulb wire. The taps that came with it were worthless. I cut the wire and used a small wire nut and electrical tape to connect everything. I cut out a lot of the excess wire too and ran it through the grommet from the tailgate camera. Mine had some minor scratches, but they were there before the final powder-coat, so it doesn't bother me. I used some flat head machines bolts and nuts to secure the plate. Now I need to get a New Houston Texans decal since the old Texans license plate frame went on My wife's Sequoia.

They said frames will show up with cosmetic issues, and since i can refinish anything i wasnt worried.. but it came like this


HEADS UP: The OEM license plate screws will not fit.. you'll need to make sure you have a flat headed screw to fit under the black trim on the LED section

Got mine in yesterday and examined it VERY closely and I can't find a scratch on it, hooked it up to the battery and it works perfectly ([note] do not look directly at it when you energize it) Took me a few mins to get the sunspot out of my eyes.

Mine came in and I'm surprised that this is a different color. When I bought my first one they only provided black chrome, in my a opinion this glossy black looks better. There is some imperfections in the paint but I'm completely ok with it. As for my double sided led idea, I'm squashing that idea for now since this one looks so good I would hate to hack it up. Maybe il order another and experiment but not right now. Thank again
