Not sure what year your truck is, but if you are planning to use the Composite style Toyota lights you will regret it. They have a habit of lenses yellowing and many have moisture in them, and to top it all off they don't have nearly as good a lighting ability as a good set of Halogen aftermarket headlights like Cibie for example....http://www.danielsternlighting.com/p.../products.html is an excellent source of information and good prices. I'd give it some thought before I put those expensive to buy, crappy working Composite style Toyota headlights. On my 91 SR5 truck I was able to pick up an extra grill that I custom installed a pair of rectangular driving lights into. It looks real trick and gets lots of looks from other owners. I hate it when I see somebody has drilled two holes in the top of their bumper to install auxillary lights.

I think this is more of what your talking about.... I had a 4x4 TOY which had a chrome Grill (1994) Now i have a 4x2 TOY with a black grill (1993) are these similar to what your looking for? You can get them on Ebay.. good luck man

As for the lights, get some diamond cut lenses and throw in some H4 SilverStars

4x4 Chrome

2x4 Black
