    The tailights are not that expensive. They range from $57 for non LED to $90 for LED each. Both will fit your Tacoma.

    I always thought tail light guards look like they would create more damage in an incident.

    Hardly nobody uses those guards anymore,as most found out they really don't do much too protect the lite.I do see them on Mexican trucks here in town a lot though for some reason,just for show I think.

    Ha! I have a father like that. Every truck he's ever owned has a big dent in the passenger side rear bumper. When he bought his last truck, I asked him if he'd like me to take a sledgehammer and pound one in to get it over with.

    my mom has some of these on her FJ and they're chrome:facepalm: Not only are they terrible looking (in chrome) but they are also scratching the paint away from where the brackets are sitting that hold them on and go behind the tail lights. Something to consider possibly if you're ocd about your paint like I am. I personally don't mind the way they look, they just need to be black and not chrome for my taste.

    Tail light covers don'tfix stupid.

    Stop backing into things.

    Everyone makes mistake (check out my pics) but...
    3 tail lights already on thr truck AND you needed them on a civic. Seems like a pretty consistent issue. Slow down and take your time.

    I think they look like ass and they do zero to protect your truck but rather do the opposite. These things are for show only so if you like the look go for it but don't expect them to be useful unless the have integrated beer openers
