    I got a pair from Amazon for 50 bucks. Look good and work great. Just placed silicone around them to make sure no water gets in.

    I've tried several different products... including a few 3M resto kit copy cats
    But nothing cleans/restores as well as the 3M headlight restoration kit.
    And if treated with a UV protectant after clean up... will remain crystal clear... longer

    Not the same headlights as the Tacoma (I used 3M resto kit to restore my originals, but took no pictures)
    But the aftermath of cleaning up my 2001 Daewoo headlamps show the clarity obtainable.
    And honestly... I could have done even better, if I spent a little more time doing it.

    before... (clarity purdy much impaired)

    after the 3M restoration kit clean up... (easy to do if ya can run a power drill)*

    * use masking tape adhered around the headlamp(s)
    to ensure no damage occurs to the surrounding paint when sanding/buffing.
