    I believe only the "Premium" models got the turn signals and puddle lights. So either the SR5 Premium/ TRD OR Premium/Limited(not sure of the TRD Sports). I guess it is way for Toyota to upsell the packages.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!,

    Looking good just wish the assemblies were a little cheaper. Have you ever heard of TYC I hear they are usually very close to OEM and at about 80 bucks I think I could live with it. These assemblies seem pretty cheesy anyway. Thoughts or experience?

    Ol'Red recommends OEM in his write ups, so that is what I am going with. I have not heard of TYC off the top of my head. So no opinions on them.

    TYC is one of the CAPA certified offerings of places like RockAuto & Amazon. I've ordered replacement headlights for my 2003 Tacoma that are TYC. I would prefer OEM for the 4R, though.
