Dang i actually prefer the V2 light color/output. Any chance of other light options? I'm a bit of a LED snob, really can't stand the blue tint.
 
I’m also curious if the blue tint is the actual color or if it’s just the photo. LEDs light output and color are notoriously difficult to capture in a photo.
 
Got the first set built with the new light/bracket. They came out nicely. They are about 75%-80% the brightness of the previous sets. The brackets are all the same now, so that will help drive cost down.

I'm hoping these changes will reduce the price by $20 or more. I may reduce the price of the plug and play kit and increase the cost of the relay kit as it takes me a crap ton of time to build.

Can't wait for these to be available. Will you be able to sell just the brackets? I may have a set of those exact lights...at least mine look a lot like the ones you have in these pictures...mine are still sitting in the box waiting for me to figure out how and where to put them.
 
Very true, but mass produced generic LEDs are notoriously blue tinted. If they use a standard die i could swap them for some nichias or NW xhp's depending on the circuit voltage.

Its really not that bad compared to the initial photos and my interiors light output😥😅😅. Just installed today while waiting for the correct brackets.

I have the V3 lights and I think the light output is excellent. Way more light output than the oem running board lights, and more than bright enough to double as rock lights.

I was able to route the wiring behind the AHC globes/accumulators and on top of the frame for a super clean oem look.

I’d be interested in a 8 light set with the additional 4 lights at each corner of the vehicle.

So if I buy this kit, do the new lights already come with a Toyota style connector? You just plug them in or is there more involved? I removed my stock running boards (2007 LX) so now I just have some open connectors that I wrapped tape around so water doesn't get inside.

Post up some pics of the lights and wiring. Interested to see how it turned out.
 
@S.CarolinaFZJ80 Not much to see. I removed the skid plates/guard plates covering the AHC system (2x 12mm bolts at each corner) and routed the wires behind the AHC components to the top of the frame rail. There are factory wire looms running on top of the frame rail. You can feel them if you stick you hand up there. I just routed my wiring next to the factory wiring.
