    Hi guys,
    I'm new to the mod world and would like to make some changes to my 2015 TRD Off-Road. I have attached a picture of some one's Sport Taco. They have done some of the things I want to do, but don't know the best place to look for some of the parts. I'm thinking of starting with the headlights. Has anyone done this and what are the best ones to get? Also, I know the turn signals in the mirrors are standard on the Sport, has anyone put these on the Off-Road? If so, do you happen to know if the wiring is already there? Any idea where to get a pair of these? Thanks for your help.

    Take a look here to find those headlights: https://www.spyderauto.com/home.php
    I went with a similar kind, but bought them off ebay since they were cheaper and still the same part number. Think they were like $240. Pretty easy replacement, just have to remove the front grille. There's some good YouTube videos that helped me.

    Be aware that changing out the stock headlights will void your warrantee.

    Looks like TacomaBeast headlights. Please don't ruin the truck by copying the shopping cart push bar in front. That alone will void any warranty.

    Nope, not interested in the Bull Bar. Just headlights and side mirrors (since mines a Off-Road). Later a lift and new tires and wheels. Here's my taco. It had a lift, but when I bought it, it was still under warranty. I told the dealership the only way I would take it was for them to take the micky mouse lift off and replace it with original suspension and they did. So now it's all stock.

    Nope. This is before the lift was removed.

    I third this question...

    *Disclaimer* I had the name Takomabeast before this website www.tacomabeast.com was started and I have no affiliation. I really do like those lights and want to put them on my truck but if it's some guy doing a BHLM, I'd rather just get OEM smoke headlights. Worried about the quality of the build. That is all. *End Disclaimer*

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Like all aftermarket tacoma headlights, they're junk. Yes, they look great, ill give it that but quality sucks. Some have better luck than others so its the luck of the draw(clear coat peeling, leaks, crappy output). Blacking out the oem housings and/or a proper retrofit is your best bet. Its just my opinion so if you like it, then go for it.

    Tacomabeast headlights and spyder are all the same. I have no issues so far with mine and I would say output is close to stock, not any better since they are halogens with a more sharp upper cutoff due to the design. I silicone the housing prior to install to prevent future condensation. Overall happy with them especially when I found them off CL brand new for half the price.20190210_160713.jpg
