    I'm new here, so apologies in advance if this should be posted elsewhere.

    I just bought a 2015 Tacoma last week and unfortunately I only have this one photo saved from the dealer listing. When I bought the truck and pulled off the lot, I quickly realized the radio had no power to it, neither did the side mirrors. After some investigating, I realized the two lights on the front bumper were missing. Likely stolen right off the truck at the dealership and wires cut. I'm just trying to find out what kind of lights these are, so I can have the dealership order them for me and get the truck back into working order. Thanks a lot for any advice.

    Yeah, unfortunately not the best photo for identifying a brand.

    Nah definitely not the best photo, honestly if the dealer is covering the replacement I would find the nicest name brand 6" round LED or HID off road lights I could that resembled what's there and tell them to order you those. They won't bat an eye at it and you get awsome lights free. Maybe even an upgrade from what was there. :notsure:

    Welcome to TW buddy!

    Ouch, those are definitely aftermarket. Is the dealer offering to fix all of these issues for you for free?

    The dealer will put a generic set of lights on there.

    I would be more concerned about this, rather than the missing lights...

    The dealer will make it right for you if they want to keep you as a customer. But as 'TacomaMike' said they'll through some $300 KC's on it for you probably not $1500 Lightforce. Plus do you really want someone pulling and cutting your LF off your truck again? Nice truck, welcome!

    Thanks for the replies and welcomes, everyone. I was thinking the dealer would likely short change me on the new lights which was my reason for posting. If they're $1500 Lightforce, then I'm definitely getting short changed without proof of what they were. Oh well. I was telling my buddy about this yesterday and he told me he recently had his running boards stolen off his Tacoma.

    Update, the dealer told me these lights didn't work so they were taken off the truck and thrown out. Biggest crock of crap ever, but since they weren't included on the listing, hard for me to do anything about it. At least they fixed the other stuff (Radio, side mirrors, USB) that didn't work. I was able to track down this photo, anyone know what lights these are?

    For what it's worth, they weren't that valuable anyway. Asian knock off of a mediocre light to begin with. Welcome to TacomaWorld!

    So they didn't work and you bought it with them on it but they decided you didn't need them and took them off? I"m calling bs on that one. Someone stole that shit and they don't want to replace them with anything.

    Actually stoked to hear the lights were mediocre at best. I don't really need them, I was just thinking they were high-end and the only reason I wanted to know the brand was to validate my feeling toward the level of shade the dealer was casting.

    They 'apparently' didn't work somewhere between listing the truck with the photos including the lights, and me coming to buy the truck. Oh well, truck is super nice. Can't win em' all.
