    Hello:

    When I bought my truck it came with the clear euro style tail lights and I prefer the stock style. I've hopped online and found several options but I'm curious to know if aftermarket products that appear the same are as good as the Toyota brand or should I go with the Toyota brand? There is a substantial price difference between the two.

    If I go with the aftermarket set, what should I really expect to pay (the prices there are pretty varied as well).

    Thank you!

    Paul

    i would go in the for sale section and see what's there. i recently saw several pair of tail lights for sale. the e-bay and etc are knock offs, might not be the best quality.

    get replacements from auto parts warehouse. they're very clean and light output is actually better then stock.

    I agree with checking this sites for sale section also. As well as checking your local craigslist. Amazon and ebay lights which are usually new aftermarket units, suck. Unless they are used Toyota ones from ebay don't bother.

    those are what I got. they're probably going to be the cheapest ones you'll find.

    they're what I'm rocking and no issues whatsoever, even brighter than the stocks
