Added the new Side Storage LED Lantern

[Ebruff]

Finally got the new LED light that goes in the drive side storage spot. It comes in a little plastic cup that fits in the spot. Then the light twists and locks in to that. It is sealed so I can’t see what type of batteries it uses. But it looks good and fits well. It’s part number PT94435253.

First time I've seen this. How's the output? Can you grab a quick night shot?

Is this USB rechargeable, or does it take batteries?

It takes batteries, but they seem to be non replaceable.

It has 3 white settings and 1 red setting. It seems to be bright. Definitely bright enough to light up the engine or change a tire. (Made sure my phone didn’t use night mode)

So, $130 for a flashlight you can't change the batteries in, or recharge?

Yep, probably not the best idea. But it looks cool.

Wireless charging, maybe? Seems odd to charge $130 that cant be charged with a cable or replace its battery.

I've seen a few people say that these will fit ok in that spot. Add a little Velcro to keep them from rattling around.
LED Emergency Flare

Definitely not as nice as OEM though.

Yep, seen Youtube videos of people using these too...

you can definitely replace the batteries. There is a seam running down the middle of the lantern, with two indentations (one on each side). gently push small screwdriver into the seam at the indentation location and the top of the lantern pops off. there are 3 rechargeable AA inside, however you can replace them with regular AAs

I searched that part number and it says it only fits 2025 Tacomas. While I think it would fit 2024s as well, can you please confirm your model year?
