    My headlights are horrible. I’m thinking about replacing them with LED bulbs or something that provides better output. Has anyone ever done this or have any recommendations for a first generation Tacoma? Thanks!

    Get some brighter bulbs and maybe an upgraded harness and call it good. If you have a lift of some sort, make sure to realign your headlights. Don't go blinding other folks on the road with some crappy LEDs in a halogen housing

    Welcome to the forum. We hope you realize that LED bulbs will be a massive downgrade in output in focus, making your headlights worse not better.

    Follow the headlight thread for real headlight upgrades:
