Everyone,

I found a way to install the "Meso Customs 4th Gen Tacoma Ultimate Map Lights" without the need for drilling holes. The process includes unpinning the Meso Customs map light's connectors, sticking the wires through pre-existing holes (no drilling of hole #1), and then repinning the connectors and then sticking the entire wire assembly through yet another pre-existing hole (no drilling of hole #2). If that all sounds like something you're uncomfortable with, and you'd rather drill holes, then obviously by all means do so. But I thought maybe other people would be interested in seeing this method, as they'd want to avoid drilling any kind of hole at all costs. So I made a video demonstrating said method. Choice is up to you at the end of the day.

(I'm no cameraman so apologies if the angles and the quality isn't great, I did my best. Tried to edit the video down as much as possible to cut out all the junk and rambling as well. Cheers! :)(y))

Ty for the write up on installing the new map light. Still looks like a major pain in the ass to change a in my days a (dome light) lol. But I've gotta do something because it's darker than hell In my truck.

Good alternative way to acheive the install. But i dont see too much gain over taking 30s and drilling out the bigger holes. The bigger drilled holes are hidden and doesnt jeopardize anything if you revert back to the original hardware regardless.

Agreed with ya there. It isn’t much. However, when I’m not making a video and purposefully taking my time to explain the process doing it this way also only takes me 30s. To each their own I suppose. 🤷🏼‍♂️
