    Hello All. I just picked up a new to me Sequoia and wanting to make some changes. 2015 Platinum 4wd, black. Will be deleting chrome on handles, mirrors and tailgate. Led interior lights and puddle lights in process of swapping. I have a TRD pro grill and bulge ordered. Questions;

    - can anyone provide a link to door handles? I was going to vinyl wrap but worried it won’t hold up in high traffic area?
    - highest rated LED headlights and fog lights? Morimoto?
    - has anyone found a better looking running board?

    thanks!

    Hey ECPirate, Congrats on the new purchase. If you are looking for a great factory fog light replacement for your 2015 Sequoia check out what Baja Designs has to offer. Depending on fitment we do offer a simply OEM replacement that fits most Toyota-style fog lights with brackets and wiring included. From what I have heard you can utilize our OEM fog light option for the 08 Toyota Tacoma with little adjustments (SKU:447786). A couple of honorable mentions about our lights vs our competitors is that we offer a lifetime warranty on all our products and we have an outstanding reputation for this. Along with the warranty, our lights come equipped with a 5000k daylight scaling which will give you the closest output of light to what your eyes are used to on everyday bases. This will then limit eye fatigue while driving on long car rides on or off the road. All of our products are backed with countless hours of testing behind the wheel on and off the road rather than just lab tests. Feel free to email or pm me directly regarding any questions you may have about Baja Designs.

    Hey Taco-Spike, Thanks for the recommendation. Just a couple of things to note regarding Baja Designs vs our competitors.

    Baja Designs has hours of ride and drive time with our competitor’s product which includes DD. If you solely drive on flat narrow surfaces the DD solutions are a great candidate. If your adventures involve elevation change and you would prefer to drive off-road aggressively the sharp horizontal and vertical cutoffs will leave you wishing you had the transitional spill light of Baja Designs. Where our competitors seem to design optics based on optical software measurements Baja Designs will intentionally sacrifice on candela, peak beam, and any additional DOT / SAE “standard” and redirect that light to what is ideal for the best behind-the-wheel experience. Remember DOT / SAE lights are designed for oncoming traffic, not the driver.
    Best,
    Brandon

    Getting there. Grill surround wrapped, mirrors and door handles wrapped, new go rhino running boards and led bulb swaps. Waiting on headlights to come in and then will be about done. Thanks.

    8EB662A5-B585-4049-9778-48ADE2DA5904.jpg Wow, great job on the grill wrap! I thought you were going to get a TRD grill? I originally wrapped mine but got tired of the slight Pearl variation. My rec is OEM lights and DD SS3 fogs. Also, there a ton of mods we all did in the sequoia builds section….days of reading and a years worth of paychecks to be spent:). Welcome to the forum, good luck with the mods.

    My 2008 for reference

    Every grill I tried to get was back ordered. Have a good wrap shop locally so let them do it. Turned out good.

    Did you try sparksparts.com. i got all of my chrome delete stuff from them. Handles weren't expensive but the grille was a bit pricey

    Nice. Which Go Rhino running boards did you go with. When I search Go Rhino Sequoia is not an option.

    Correct, no match for Sequoia. But the Tundra Double cab will fit. The only quirky thing is you have to angle the last bracket (closest to rear wheel) to get them attached. The first 3 brackets are spot on. The length is perfect. Big upgrade from factory running boards in my opinion.
