    Hey. Just moved to Oahu, picked up my Taco from the shippers the other day. A few days before I shipped it from Alaska some bonehead hit/run my truck.

    Where would be a good place to pick up a new tail light and bumper cap for cheaper than the dealership?

    With as many Tacos as I see on the road here I figure there should be some junk yards or some stock bumpers from upgrades lying around.

    Appreciate it!

    The first appointment I could get to get it registered was 28 Oct, so sometime before that.

    Appreciate the links!

    What are the chances these will pass inspection? I can't find a definitive answer on google.

    You know, honestly, Tacomas already have bad tail light design where it washes out when running lights are on and you're braking or turn signal. When you're behind one at night or someone with their running lights on and they brake or turn signal, there really isn't much difference.
    Because of this and all the ass wipes too busy on their phones, I bought the Meso conversion PLUS spent 400. on VLEDS Titron Extremes Reds on all 4 so when I brake, they'll know I'm braking.

    I've been rear ended too many times. Once in a 2016 Tacoma, 2015 Nissan Frontier x2.
    Ass wipes I tell you. ..and all 3 times...WOMEN !!

    If I was you , I wouldn't. You'd want all the bright lights you can get.

    Sorry to see this ..car insurance usually have deductibles...you might end up paying most of the cost?
    I am sure you got this fix by now.,?

    After market housing lights do offer lots of “cool” features vs stock...

    Bumper caps ..Wow so many companies make snap- on cap covers (rear bumpers) many owners are coving the chrome look and comes in many colors..easy to install ..
    Just that those corners are all Made of plastic...miss the full all metal bumpers

    Those bumper caps could have cover damage...for future owners ..?
    Aloha
