1st Gen Headlamps

Feels like I’ve searched everywhere (including here) attempting to find some aftermarket headlamp assemblies to fit my 2004 DC and haven’t had much luck. I see that I can go with 05-06 but they run a different daytime drive light setup then the early 1st gen, is there anything out that that I can purchase or is buying some stock ones and modifying them myself my best option?

 

I think these should fit. The 2004 DC… what a joy to find parts for.

Look for ones that fit 01-04 Sequoia. RockAuto has them available for the 04 Tundra as well.

 

I was looking for more of an aftermarket look

 

Aftermarket is pretty slim for headlights on 04 DCs. 04 double cabs use different sized headlight assemblies than the 05-06 double cab headlights, but as @Festerw said, they're the same as 01-04 Sequoia headlights.

If you want the aftermarket look, can front the coin, and don't mind waiting, you could order a custom set through https://www.bxbuilt.com/product-page/1st-gen-tundra-sequoia-retrofit-headlights

Thanks for the website

 

How long have you had these. Do they look well made? Did it give you more light?
Thanks

 

I've had them installed since December. They're just an OE housing with BX Built proprietary LED and driver. Put's out a ton of light. I really like them. Check out my thread

Thanks for this. I know what my next purchase will be. Mine is a 2003

 

The BX built lights are a vast improvement over stock H-4 but they are pricey

 

And totally non-serviceable. If anything blows ... get ready to pull your headlight and ship it back to them, pay even more money for repairs. It's the only reason I chose to just get OEM assemblies again.

 

Modifying your self is an option. I also have an 04 DC and changed mine out with some @SouthPaw put together. OEM housings with Mini H1 w/halos, Audi style DRL light strip with sequential/directional turn signals, 6K HIDs. Numerous videos of how to’s

 

I'm with BubbaW. Make your own and learn how they operate. Took me a few hours one weekend and the light output makes it so worth it. Halogens suck for driving once you use HIDs or a good (not some $50 bs) LEDs.

 

One more question. Do they just plug in? Or would I have to spend time re wiring?

 

Plug n Play. The system’s wire harness is a lot like a HID if you’re familiar with it.
