    Has anyone switched headlights out of a 2004 tacoma to the next gen headlights? I got some headlights from a 2006 I'm trying to put in, but I think I have to take bumper and stuff off to try to have them fit. Anyone ever done this ?

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    They are bigger and bulkier than 04 lights, you will have to do some serious fabbing to get them to fit and when you do, it's probably going to still look like a backyard hack job, just saying... Stick with the right lights is my vote.

    Yes, the people who have done that use a fiberglass conversion on the front end.
