    After market radio
    Hi everyone

    so I previously drove a 97 that was my dad’s but I very recently got my own 95. It took me 1 week to start messing with a few things like putting the radio from 97 -> 95 but I have looked at the headlights or lamps and I’m unsure which they are. They seems like lamps to me and I’m slightly worried because I’m not sure where to get replacements. If they are lamps I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on housings so that I can get either led or halogen. Or if I should just stick to lamps. Thanks!!

    The stock head lights are terrible actually dangerous because they put out such low light.

    most the LED lamps are cheap Chinese lamps that have bad light patterns and shine into on coming traffic eyes.
    JB speaker makes a high quality truck lamp or you can make up or buy a retrofit projectors head light but they are more expensive,

    @1997tacomav6 has a pretty sweet light set up. I have a 1996 and the lights do suck, but I think I got replacements for mine at auto zone for like $25 a pop. They had them in the store. They are not hard to find at all.
