    Hi, I'm new here. I just bought a 2013 Tacoma trd sport and was wondering if the trd pro headlights will fit on my truck. I tried using the search button already and I even called the dealership parts department. parts guy said they only fit 2014-2015. is that true? if they do fit my 2013 Tacoma do I need to install the trd pro grille also? or can I just use my stock grille?

    I have a 2012. They fit, so does the grille.

    ... but you'll go through a lot more blinker fluid with the Pro head lights.

    What is the difference in the Pro Headlights, are they smoked?

    See side by side comparison pics in the thread I posted. Pros have a smoked/black chrome, whereas stock is bright chrome.

    I always suggest changing the muffler bearing too when changing taillights

    He's not changing tail lights, therefore no muffler bearing required.

    The OP may, however, consider acquiring a bucket of steam to soak the headlight gaskets in, so as to allow expansion of the opening for the install of the tighter tolerances of the Pro headlight assembly.

    Been there, done that, just sayin'.
