    Anyone know of a way to make 2016 headlights work in a 2014?
    I'm guessing there 100% different but I sure like the LED day time lights.

    Good guess!

    You might have noticed the body changed. Right?

    Thank you for the clarification and sorry about the typo you so clearly pointed out.
    Does that make you feel like you're a better person then I?
    I hope not to mess up again in your presence.

    Don't get your shorts all twisted. I complimented your guessing.

    No. 3rd Gen Headlights, which are shaped nothing like 2nd Gen Headlights, will not fit in a 2nd Generation Tacoma.

    You could put in the Toyoat LED kit for the 2nd gen Tacoma.

    LOL, I am hoping there is a aftermarket company who makes something similar to the 2016's only for a 2014.

    My only serious suggestion is to look into custom headlights with a led halo or something similar. It will look good and improve your lighting quality if you choose a quality projector retrofit.
