    Hey y'all I'm pretty new to the mod scene and was wondering if I could change the front end of my Tacoma. I have a 98 and I hate the square headlights and wanted to see if you could change the front end to like a 2000 or something.

    ^ don't listen to this guy, you know you don't want square headlights no matter what size :p (even if it is cheaper and you don't need a new hood)

    Yeah hahaha I'm looking to get away from the square headlights but I must agree the 97 front end does look pretty aggressive if you do it right. And thanks @wildlandbill I will let you know if I need help and how it goes!
