    Hey guys,

    New Tacoma owner here! I can tell like most I think there is too much chrome on this thing and I am looking to black out the headlights! I am not a DIY type of guy so Im looking to either have a set made or buy some from someone.

    What is the best way to go about this? I live in CA and I dont know the laws on blacked out headlights So I need ones CA legal. I dont really know what I want, I just know the look I want! I have tried browsing the forum and seen alot of examples but they are all DIY.

    ANY HELP!?

    They all say 05-11. Are they the same lights? I dont need color I just want good lights but blacked out background. I see you are the OP of that thread. How do I purchase?

    If you scroll down a little bit, you'll see the 2012-2015s.

    Are the blacked out reflectors legal in CA?

    I've never had issues either in CA or OR. If you're worried about legality, I would leave the blinker/DTRL chrome and not go too heavy on the smoking of the orange side reflector.

    The rest of the light black should not be an issue - take a look at the 2014 Ford Raptor headlights.
