The DRLs finally melted the lenses on my Tacoma

    These have gotten worse. They're cracked, yellow/brown burn spot, and there's a black melt spot on both lenses. I've researched through the threads and found the TSB with the old and new part #s
    I called a few dealers because most have the the RH 81110-04200 but not the LH 81150-04200.
    One dealer told me the new parts have been discontinued and most have reverted back to the old Part #'s, 81110-04163 and 81150-04163.

    My question is, does anyone know if Toyota converted the new design into the old part number?

    I guess my backup plans would be to order the old lenses and replace the bulbs with a Wagner P5702KA which is supposed to be shorter than original bulb (won't be as close to the lens).

    I've looked at LEDs but most are too bright.

    Also, the disable procedure isn't very clear to me how to do that.

    Any suggestions would appreciated.
