How can I tell if my Toyota Tacoma has LED headlights?

Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Forum

Hey everyone! :blush: I’ve been dreaming of getting a Tacoma for years, and I’m finally ready to buy one. I’m looking at 2019-2022 TRD Off-Road models. My question is, how can I tell if a Tacoma has LED headlights? It’s really hard to figure out from online photos, and not all listings have detailed info. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did some searching and couldn’t find much. Any help would be appreciated :pray:

If you can find pictures of the truck, here’s a tip: LED headlights don’t have that clear, circular projector in the middle. The overall shape might look the same, but that missing projector circle is your giveaway. :mag_right:

Got it. That’s super helpful. I was confused because the housing looks so similar. Now that you mention it, I can totally see the difference. Thanks so much :raised_hands:

LEDs also have DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) that turn into the turn signals. They’re awesome when you see them in action. :oncoming_automobile::sparkles:

If you’re looking at 2020 and up, you can spot the LEDs by the C-shaped DRL. Super easy to recognize once you know what to look for. :sunglasses:

One more thing, LEDs didn’t come from the factory until 2020. So if you’re set on LEDs, you might want to skip the 2019 models. :wink:

Oh, that’s great to know. Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like I’ll focus on 2020 and newer then :+1:
