First-generation Tacoma. No-drill lighting upgrade.
Give your 1995–2004 Tacoma a compact auxiliary-light setup without cutting into a classic truck. These hood hinge brackets provide a clean mounting position for compatible LED pods, leaving the light choice and beam direction to you. Black powder-coated steel complements a work truck or a dedicated trail build.
Vehicle fitment
1995–2004 Toyota Tacoma, all listed cab and bed configurations.
Construction and finish
Laser-cut heavy-gauge steel with corrosion-resistant black powder coat.
Choose your lights
Most standard LED pod lights. Check the mounting base and clearance of your chosen housings.
Beam pattern and output depend on the lights you select and how you aim them. These brackets provide the mounting points, not the illumination.
Mounts only. Lights are not included.
What's included
Driver- and passenger-side brackets only; lights are not included.
Installation
Brackets sit between the hood and hinge using factory hardware. Allow under one hour with basic tools. Carefully check hood alignment and hinge movement after installation; follow the instructions for thread-locker use.
