    Never heard of a HILUX front end swap, but I'm curious about the tail lights as well. Do you know if they're a direct fit for the Tacoma?

    According to the screw holes that mount them, yes the tail lights fit

    They have the same plug for the trucks harness
    Some have the 5 wire and some have the 6 wire like the tacomas 95-00 and 01-04 wiring.
    Even if they didn’t have the same harness we could just use butt splices to take the connector off our stock tail lights and splice it onto the Hilux tail lights.

    I would buy a set but I accidentally saw in my mothers eBay history while helping her return an item that she bought me some led tail lights for Christmas already.

    Okay after some further digging on the hilux tail lights the bottom screw hole opposite of the side touching the tailgate is in a different spot so you would either have to make a bracket to attach to the original screw hole on the bed that has a screw hole in it for the hilux tail light or just run with 3 out of 4 screws holding it in.
