2007 Toyota Tacoma Exterior lighting Problems

“The orange bulb in the headlights burnt through plastic casing inside the headlight. One side has cracked. I'm not exactly sure when this happened, but I did notice it a while back that the bulb was burning the plastic, however, I just noticed that it cracked on one side.”

“Toyota denied me help with things that should be a recalls! They are greedy and out right lying sociopathic thieves! The top rear brake light on my Tacoma 07 truck lets rain water in.

Toyota so far has offered no solution to either concern and my extended warranty company claims they won't cover sealed beam headlamps. …”

“2007 Toyota Tacoma double cab with daytime running lights. The orange plastic lens material has cracked and burned due to the excessive heat from the bulb. The effects were noticed around 60,000 to 70,000 miles. Running headlights during the day to avoid having running lights on.”

“The daytime running lights that came with my Tacoma started running so hot that it is melting/cracking the plastic lens/housing. After a simple google search of the problem, I came across multiple forums with users who have the same problem. Some were lucky enough to have this problem occur within the warranty period but others, such as myself, were asked to pay upwards of $800 for new housings. After looking at the bulbs, I noticed that even the housings for the bulbs are showing burn marks. …”
