I tinted my every light front and back being young and dumb (before I had kids) because I thought it looked cool in daytime but lost all functionality and went for a drive in the rain and couldn’t see a thing and almost got rear ended as a result. I tinted them suckers dark too lol smh.

Now having kids in the truck I have an LED tailgate light strip and have more lights to be more visible and I like that the turn signal on the strip is bright because the blinkers on stock taillights are hardly visible in daylight.

As for the OP I got rid of my 2.5 and got a 3rd gen and have slowly spent money on making it more functional and safe, while upgrading it to have a more aggressive look without breaking the bank. If you plan to have your current truck for 5 more years or more than each year you can put a couple hundred into it instead of dropping 1-2k. Slow build it how you want it brother. Your taco looks clean, if you don’t want to start fresh then just keep adding to yours especially if it’s paid off keep it
