2023 TRD OR – OEM LED Headlights

^

but hold out for the limited editions

 

so OEM tacoma tailight LEDs are just bulb replacements?

 

got it got it, thanks!

 

There is no full OEM taillights

 

No, they just don't exist. There are no OEM LED tails

 

VLED's and Meso customs make tail light conversion kits. The base kits are plenty bright.

 

I think the MESO tails are awesome

 

@tuckercs This is the most reasonable kit to get if you want to upgrade the tail iights IMO.

16-23 TOYOTA TACOMA VTAILS TAIL LIGHT CONVERSION KIT (vleds.com)

Choose whatever tail light you want (Pro, all-red from a base model, etc), unless you're good with your stock ones, and then put that bulb kit in. Works great and much better than stock.

As stated, there are no factory LED tail lights on 3rd gens. The 2nd gens had LED brake and tail lamps, with bulbs for reverse and turn signals, but Toyota went back to all bulbs on the 3rd gen, with red turn signals (dumb).

 

SHH! Stop telling the masses or I'm never going to get a set.

 

Soweee

 

I will say, I am a fan of the total tail kits. I run in both trucks.
Tacoma (MESO Stage 2)
Tundra (Hottails) ~ Hotshotoffroad

 

Did you ever buy the lights and install them? Looking to do the same for my 2023 and would love to know if it fits/any issues.

 

They'll fit. You'll need a harness from Dave Easa though...

Interestingly I just changed the OEM taillights in my ‘05 to the ‘15 style. I think I like them better.

For my ‘16 OffRoad I run pro headlights and recently VLED tails in pro tail enclosures but I’m kind of not loving the clear lens stuff and I almost like my ‘16 stock offroad tails better. I live with the shame of pro badging on a not pro truck.

It’s never good enough is it?

 

yup i did the conversion last weekend. I got the wiring harness from @daveeasa which worked like a charm. a bit annoying to peel the fender back to get at the last bolt but all in all went really well only took about 1.5/2hr to complete.

i followed this walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPvuQG-y4os

 

will the 20-23 trd pro oem lights fit on an 2019 sr5

 

Yes, but you'll need a harness from @Puppypunter for your SR5.
