1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma Chase Light Housing

Upgrade Your 1st Gen Tacoma Lighting

Upgrade the rear lighting on your 1995-2005 Toyota Tacoma while maintaining a clean, OEM+ appearance. The KDW Chase Light Housing replaces the factory third brake light assembly and integrates high-output chase lighting, brake lights, and optional accessories into one purpose-built housing.

Designed for everything from desert and off-road use to campsite and bed lighting, the housing accommodates three 3-inch LED pods along with four dedicated red brake lights for increased rear visibility.

NOTE - Due to the small size of the Tacoma some trimming may be needed! The antenna mount versions spaces the lights out farther and may require trimming. It is very little amount (1/8”) please see the last picture for reference. 

Housing Options

Choose between:

Loaded Housing — Arrives complete with the housing, four brake lights, three LED pods, and foam weather seal.

Empty Housing — Includes the housing, four brake lights, and foam weather seal. LED pods are not included.

Pod Brand

Every housing is manufactured specifically for the pod style selected. You must select a Pod Brand even when ordering an Empty Housing, as the mounting pattern and cutout differ between pod styles.

KDW 3.2 — Designed around KDW's 3-inch, dual-LED 3.2 pods. These are KDW's purpose-built option for the chase light system.

Generic — Designed for the compatible 3-inch generic/Amazon-style pods. This version uses a different cutout and mounting pattern from the KDW/Baja configuration.

Baja Designs S2 — Designed for genuine Baja Designs S2-series lights. 

Add-ons

Customize your housing with any combination of:

Antenna Mount — Adds an integrated NMO antenna mounting location, eliminating the need to drill into your cab or use a magnetic mount. Includes the appropriate NMO-to-UHF-F mount/stud when ordered with the required hardware.

Camera Mount — Integrates a rear-view camera directly into the chase light housing for a clean installation without drilling additional holes or relying on adhesive-mounted cameras.

Pre-wired — Have your loaded housing arrive with the lighting circuits pre-wired and organized, reducing the amount of wiring required during installation. Find more information under the Pre-wired product or support page!

Construction

Every housing is manufactured from carbon-fiber-reinforced ASA, selected for its strength, temperature resistance, UV resistance, and dimensional stability in automotive applications.

A foam weather seal is included with every housing to seal the assembly against the cab and help prevent water intrusion.

Empty Housing — Required Components

Empty housings require compatible LED pods based on the Pod Brand selected. Camera and antenna hardware are included when the add-ons are selected.

Longer screws are required because of the added thickness of the housing, they are included in all loaded and empty housings. (M3 × 0.5 × 14 mm)
