    Only a light bar so far
    Someone backed into me and broke one of my taillight covers on my 03. I have been wanting to upgrade my lights for some time now and this is my excuse to do it. That being said, I don't really know what I want to do with them. Do you guys that have a 1st gen have any recommendations on replacing/upgrading both tail and headlights? If you do, can you drop a link to the recommended parts?

    I've done some brief research and have kind of gravitated towards the STARR HID XP3018C and STARR HID XP3018B lights for the headlights but I don't really want to spend upwards of $300 for them. For the tail lights, I have been gravitating towards a generic smoked LED replacement for about $140.

    I just did a led conversion on my Taco. Lasfit Auto Lighting, just remember to get a flasher that is led compatible or you will get the hyper flashing from the turn signals. I got my turn signal flasher from Superbright bulbs.

    Just curious if you decided on the new tails? I'm thinking about doing the same.
