Newer Headlight/grill conversion

Has anyone put newer headlights/grill in their 95? Wondering what all I need. Pretty sure need hood and bumper. Don't think fenders.

 

I got this a couple weeks ago. 2.7 5spd

 

STLHarry put a 95-97 on his 01-04. Essentially the opposite of what you're asking.

It takes a fair amount of work to make this happen. I put a 95-97 front end on my 98-00.

And FWIW, you already have the most badass looking Tacoma front end... I wouldn't do a thing

 

agreed, I like the early look so much better then my 04 but when I had my 99 I wondered if it wouldnt look better with the 01-04 front end

I guess its one of those things where you always like what is different then what you have

 

Ok ok thanks for the info. I will hold off on this and see if it grows on me

 

95-97 is the best looking front end IMO.

 

Do the swap! 01-04 is the best looking, BY FAR!

 

lol to each his own

 

I do like 01-04 and just having the swap is cool, so 95-97 to a 01-04 anyone done it have any advice or anything else?

 

id rather have the early front end because it has glass headlights instead of plastic ones that are constantly being yellowed by the sun..plus if you off road a headlight change is the whole assembly for like 10$ compared to 60 or so for the plastic one.

 

Early front end is better IMO. You can swap your headlights for an Ecode H4 conversion and have vastly superior headlights to any 01-04. That was something I actually didn't like on my 03 that I was able to upgrade on my 94. Much more modular design.

 

Can bug eye headlight and grille conversion work on a 95 4x4
