    Hey all! Im new to tacoma world, and will be buying a new tacoma here pretty soon. I do retrofits for headlights and wanted to get your opinion. Ive been doing them for awhile now on the 2010-2012 Ford mustangs, and had some pretty happy customers.
    But the truck world is different, just wanted to see if the community was interested in Custom headlights, halos, things like that. Love to hear your feedback!
    Here's a few pictures of my handiwork. I will be doing retrofits for the 2012-2015 model tacoma
