    BHLM has the word Mod in it lol.

    Check AsianAnts and ambiguous in the Classifieds. The most reputable members who do the service.

    Amazon... you can get a pair of Depo housings for about $170 shipped with the surrounds already blacked out.

    Be careful and make sure the listing indicates PAIR.
    There are sellers offering only one housing for the same price.

    Amazon search "Tacoma Depo"

    Really doesn't take that long aside from the cure time for the painted inserts. Took me less than 3 hours of actual work but I did let them cure for 36 hours before reinstalling. About 30 min to pull the headlights remove all the screws, 10 min each in the oven, 1 hr of paint (3 coats 20 min apart), 10 min each back in the oven, 30 min to reassemble and reinstall.

    The real kicker is you won't have a grill or headlights while your doing the mod (inserts curing) unless you just buy new lights. Having someone else mod your headlights will mean a longer wait without headlights. Buying new lights seems a little silly to me: $6 for a can of paint vs at least $150-200 for lights that have a good chance of fogging or leaking a month after install.

    Good luck either way!

    Last I heard, TYC has taken a serious dump in quality.

    Sad, because a few years ago, the TYC Elegante was the light that all aftermarket were measured by, but someone put a set on their Taco a while back and had nothing good to say about the fitment and light pattern.

    I'd seriously wait for Depo to start making the new ones.
