    Hello. Super new to this community. Just bought an ‘01 Tacoma. I’m noticing that there is a gap around these side marker / corner lights. Is there a gasket that goes around this? I’ve tried to remove them and push them back and still looking the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Reserected from the dead.
    Either the fender or the light is most likely aftermarket. The reproduction parts never seem to fit gap free.

    I got the same thing going on with my '04.

    Make sure that these are not broken or else the side markers will not sit right. I had aftermarket markers and they fit fine after i replaced these broken tabs

    That housing isn't OEM, I know for the 1st gen with my grill, the 2WD and 4WD have slightly different shaped corner lights. I wonder if it is the same on the 01-04 models and someone ordered the wrong one?
