    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    What did they look like before you mounted them? Where they self contained units? How did you mount them?

    Couldn't stand the unfinished look. In retrospect I should have waited for help and removed the bumper, but it's still WAY better than it was.

    They are actually jeep headlights that we're completely sealed. I have pictures in my build thread that shows the progress. I mounted them by using job weld steel stick from the back of the housing. I used that to mock them up then I use job weld quick weld(?) to permanently put them in place. I did not remove the steel stick and just let it dry. That was my "base" because the headlights barely make contact to the back of the reflector bowls. I let it sit over night and checked this morning and they are in tight now

    Where did you end up getting your mesh? Did you have to cut it to shape?

    Finally took delivery of it. Took a long time to bring it back home from Africa, but it's nice to get it home.

    I have some suspicions that my 2013 Base model used to be a work truck. Factory color was magnetic gray then PO painted with a cheap single stage white that's starting to chip off now.

    Are there any led ditch lights that plug in play with the stock fog light harness?

    There's a harness out there you can buy that makes them plug and play.

    Check with Cali or Apex
