    Do any 1st gen Tacomas come with clear door lights? Id like to get rid of the red to try and brighten up the interior.

    Hmm... I don't know why they did away with that. As far as I know none of the 01-04s came with that.

    They're kinda pointless when they're red cause they put out like no light... and they're kinda scary at night haha.

    They used the door lights so that traffic driving up behind you could see that the door was open and drive around. I don't think I have seen a tacoma with clear ones.
