Yes I know that, I am curious what brand lights they are, sorry I wasn't very clear.  My brain and fingers don't always agree lol

Probably something common like PIAA or the like.   Do some researching.

Yeah been looking, looks like mums the word on what it is.  Seems year one is pretty hush hush on the products it used on these cars.  I believe it is a PIAA light, just trying to figure out the model

Not sure about the fog lights. I called about three years ago and talked to one of the designers and he gave me a ton of info and even the website and part numbers for the headlights and a bunch of other stuff. i have it saved on a HD somewhere. Can't remember where though. You shouldn't have a hard time getting ahold of someone. If you find out please do share the info with us.

yes.88-9? But they used the glass ones with the projector headlamp and clear marker lens. I have seen some cheaper oes but it was nice to get the info for the ones they used specifically.

I found a picture of Restore  a Muscle car installing them on a BRE car.  They had the box in the pic =)

They are a PIAA P-1000XT

Interesting. If I didn't have a Y88 I'd think about hacking the nose up a bit to install them as night time driving is more difficult in the TA....guess I've gotten used to the Tundra illuminating the road ;)
