    I have the chrome version and they are nice, so much brighter than the stock lenses. Amazon was the only place with them in stock when i got them 6 months ago

    EDIT - i know that it makes a difference with the corner lights if you have a 4x4 or prerunner, not 100% sure if it matters for the headlights too.

    My corners (ebay) are not as snug as the stock ones. Almost seems like the housing is a little smaller overall. A minor annoyance.

    ill chime in here - i bought the two color tail lights from noedials on ebay and they fit perfect, look great, and work great. i bought them in a set with clear chrome mirrors for my 04 and the clear corners fit just ok, like 95%. they aren't perfect, neither is my front bumper but i let neodials know and gave them a neutral feedback

    I just recently bought a headlight assembly from 1aauto.com and I am pretty unhappy about it. All of the lights felt relatively cheap compared to the stock lights when installing. One headlight is loose and the side marker on the passenger side does not line up with the grille. The beam of light is super uneven at night with bright streaks and dim spots throughout. Does anyone know of a solid plug and play replacement for a 2003 Tacoma regular cab? One where the light is evenly distributed and will line up correctly with the grille? Looking for chrome trim and just good solid reflectors. I don't want to order another pair of cheap headlights only to return it in the future.

    I'm looking for some clear corners with Lunar mist trim and they are impossible if not at all available in the first place. Let me know if anyone has lunar mist trim clear corners with black on the inside of the housing to match my black painted retrofit housings. I hate Amber colored housings but they have the lunar mist trim
