    Change out the bulbs, PIAA or equivalent if all you are looking for is better light output. The Tacoma reflector bowl is huge compared to most vehicles and works very well.

    If something unique is what you are going for and lots more light, then doing a retrofit with HID & projectors is the way to go. Search in the Lighting Forum section and you'll find lots of examples.

    LED's? I'll tell you right noe, I am very happy with the output and the natural light they project. Very soothing on the eyes for night time driving.

    LED on the left, Halogen on right unadjusted, the bulb was the only thing swapped.
