grill for 96

You can transplant a 1995.5 - 1997 grille alone, but that won't resolve the headlight unit issue.

It is possible to transplant either a 1998 - 2000 or a 2001 - 2004 front clip (the whole set of front end exterior pieces) onto a 1995.5 - 1997 Taco.

Mine sucked too. The reflective coating inside had come off almost entirely. I went to Autozone and picked up a couple new Silverstar sealed beams. They were $20 each, so for $40 I drastically improved my lighting.

they sell headlights for our trucks that arent sealed and i swapped in some hid's and i have no complaints

Not sure the brand but they are off of ebay. They give you the bulbs too. They aren't very expensive at all either.

Thanks MJB, I am going to look around on ebay now. As the truck sits now I never take the lights off high beam and have never been brighted by oncoming traffic and I drive to work in the dark and come home in the dark. Even replaced them and idn't make a damn bit of difference.
I also plan on adding some driving lights in the valance as funding allows..three kids with huge appetites limit the taco fund. Not to mention a mortgage that is even hungrier!

yes sr!! i bought a set off ebay! best thing i have bought off there,type in toyota tacoma headlights and about 1.000.000 will pop up!! and they are dirt cheap! you will pay more to ship them than to buy them:selfbonk:

So I assume I need to get kit with ballasts so I can get the things hooked up in one whack?

they come with pulbs that plug right into the stock harness no need for ballasts unless you want hids, but thats a completely separate buy

H4 bulbs?
