HotTails | 2014-21 Toyota Tundra
Simply put... Stock Sucks. Dramatically improve taillight visibility to other motorists, step up to the instant on/off of LED, and change how your taillights function!
Option A:
-
Upper and lower portion of taillight function as both parking as well as brake lights
- Upper portion is VLEDS V6 Extreme bulb, and lower is VLEDS V6 Triton
-
Reverse/Clear section of housing is now converted to do both white reverse and amber turn signal functions from the same area
- VLEDS V6 Triton Switchback is used (900 Lumen reverse + 500 Lumen amber turn) - We recommend 5000k output as it is the most crisp/white color with no hints of blue.
-
Fully Plug-and-play - No splicing of OEM hardware and fully weather-sealed connections
- Bulbs will come to you already assembled for your housing so you won't have to mess with VLEDS screws or gaskets
- Bulbs will come to you already assembled for your housing so you won't have to mess with VLEDS screws or gaskets
OPTION B IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE
Option B:
**Please note that Option B is only available for towing package equipped vehicles (which will be most on the road) as it draws signal from the OEM 7-pin wiring plug.**
-
Upper and lower portion of taillight function as parking lights, brake lights, AND turn signals.
-
Upper portion is VLEDS V6 Extreme bulb, and lower is VLEDS V6 Triton
-
Turn signal will override brake input for OEM-like functionality!
-
Fully Plug-and-play - No splicing of OEM hardware and fully weather-sealed connections
-
Bulbs will come to you already assembled for your housing so you won't have to mess with VLEDS screws or gaskets

What's in the Box:
- VLEDS bulbs
- These bulbs have all been assembled by HSO with the right collars and gaskets to ease installation. Due to the size differences between each bulb after assembly it should be pretty straightforward as to which bulb goes in which hole as they are all different.
- 2 sets of HotTails harnesses
- 2 VLEDS VLR-15 resistors to eliminate hyperflash. These will screw inline between new and existing equipment so they can be installed without any splicing.
Install:
- Pulling taillight is via a T30 Torx bit and a little bit of muscle. Open tailgate and take the 2 T30 Torx bolts out from the inside of each taillight. Pull the taillight housing away from the vehicle to the SIDE. Tundra locking tabs go in from the sides so you'll need to pull the housing out to the side, and not the back of the truck.
- Unplug all OEM plugs from the back of the existing bulbs in the vehicle. I recommend pulling the plugs off before pulling out the bulbs as it's just a little easier that way.
- Remove all OEM bulbs by turning them 90 degrees to the left and then pulling them straight out.
- VLEDS Bulbs
- 921 Bulb goes in the top pocket of the taillight housing and is simply push in and turn 90 degrees. It will lock into place.
- I included the other gasket options and the allen wrench in case you feel as though you need a different gasket, but you shouldn't.
- Switchback bulb goes into the center section and turns 90 degrees locking into place.
- V6 Triton Red bulb goes into the bottom section and turns 90ish degrees. It will require a little bit of force to push down and begin turning. This bulb WILL NOT lock into place. If you keep turning it will drop into the next opening and become loose again. I recommend turning it a little bit to where it is locked in there, turn the housing around, and look where the screw heads are seated. You'll want the screw heads to sit halfway across the little plastic tabs in the housing.
- 921 Bulb goes in the top pocket of the taillight housing and is simply push in and turn 90 degrees. It will lock into place.
- HotTails Harnesses
- Since these are built to be plug-and-play there is only one way to install them on the plugs side. They are labelled to guide you to the proper way to install them on the bulb side as well. The harness with the 2 leads goes to the top and bottom bulb, and the harness with the single lead goes to the switchback in the middle.
