    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    This is a side track on this thread, but I'm curious if there is an LED bulb replacement for the DTRL on a 2014? I know the new housing is different than the ones they are replacing but I happened to put my hand on the housing this evening after a short drive and it was smokin' hot. Hard to believe that little light gives off that much heat.

    Thanks for this thread. Had my melted headlight assemblies replaced last week. Perfect. -2007 DCLB 91k miles- no questions asked with a print of the PDF detailing the coverage.

    FYI for the Canadian owners, The POL14-03 will not be honoured by Toyota Canada. With that said Toyota Canada just released their own bulletin that is basically the same with the exception that Canada is only providing the WAB for 5 yrs or 112000 kilometers. The WAB # for this is WAB 2197 So if your headlights are burnt/melted/cracked and you are under 5 yrs or 112000km then you can get this done. Take your truck in and reference the WAB 2197.
    I'm at 176KM so they're not honouring the replacement on mine, but I am currently arguing with them over it as mine have been melted/cracked for quite sometime before I found out that there was a bulletin for this. Will advise on the outcome. Either way i'm getting new headlights as mine are melted/cracked pretty bad.

    I95 Toyota in Brunswick Georgia refused my moms request today for new lights. One is melting she uses her Taco on her mail route(it has two steering wheels) and I sent her up there they told her 36k miles was the limit. Gonna send her back up there tomorrow with the 3717ja number.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    They are a bit darker. I think part of it though is the removal of the amber lense. It really clears up the light itself.

    Mine aren't any darker. I like the look without the amber lens.

    Stopped at my local dealer on Wed, the service rep grabbed a tech who just laughed and said yep they are melted. Parts ordered and dropped my truck Friday morning to have them replaced. The new lights really make the truck look new again.

    07 Tacoma dcsb with 140k got replaced for free in the st Louis area last week. No charge no paperwork just told them I got a warranty extension from corporate (which I did) but they didn't even ask for it. Only one lenses was melted happened to be foggy too but they replaced both. Can't bet that deal makes the truck look new

    Got mine done today at Claremont Toyota, Claremont California. Tony Sanchez (service advisor) said "Send everyone to us, we will take care of the issue." He was great to deal with, ordered my lights after a quick inspection. If you are anywhere near Claremont CA, head over and see Tony Sanchez in the service department.
