I'd 100% do the fang lights. I initially bought a pair but never installed them once I learned they didn't have the amber option (can't return them now either).
I ended up going with the LTX from Tacoma Lifestyle and love them. I have them set to amber and its the perfect combo.
I just received a set of C4 and while I haven’t installed them yet, super impressed with the build quality. Pictures and install thoughts to come soon.
[UPDATE]
C4 got back to me - they redesigned the bumper to work with the Hybrid. They are updating their website.
So recently I ordered a full C4 armor kit from C4 Fabrication. I got:
1. TACOMA FRONT LO-PRO WINCH BUMPER / 4TH GEN / 2024-2025
2. TACOMA ROCK SLIDERS / 4TH GEN / 2024-2025

I bought an aftermarket piston jack that’s a little stronger than the OEM, plus has a plate adapter on the top. I already had to use the factory and it sucks. I personally hate the twist/turn style piston jacks and prefer the pump.
Everything still stows behind the seat so that was a win.
Recalibrate: No
Using the onboard telemetry/guage
Currently not refactoring anything.
Hadn’t really given it much thought but your questions peak further curiosity to dive deeper. When I’ve passed speed check signs, I’m only off by 1-2 MPH but I do still have my Garmin Tread Overland that will...
Ok, that’s pretty rad. Now I’m considering adding the harness in. Was that part difficult? Do you feels it’s manageable with the grill back on? I do not feel like taking that thing off again.

I have a front & rear bumper coming along with sliders. When I ordered they mentioned delayed lead time on the bumpers and that everything would ship together. My order just shipped and all in I’m about 10ish weeks. Order placed mid-October.
[UPDATE]
It was the light itself. TacomaLifeStyle sent me a new set of AlphaRex lights and I swapped them out. While the grill was off I added the new LTX Fang Lights. Just waiting for my new SS6 Diode fog lights to come in.
The install wasn't bad. Taking off the grill for the first time is stressful but after that, its a breeze. My recommendation is just take your time and keep things super organized.
The faulty lights is a problem. Im waiting on my replacement to come in. I'd say buy direct from AR if...

Thats the only thing I can think of - they're just sending me a new set so I'll see how it goes. It needs to work. I sold my OEM TRD Headlights.
I had AlphaRex on my Sprinter and didn't have a single issue.
