    Does anybody know of any really nice looking taillights? I'm honestly tired of seeing my disgusting OEM ones, and most of the aftermarket looks bad to me. Are there any similar lights like they make for the 3rd gen tacos?

    These look like old school Toyota. They're on eBay.

    People have reported success with Spyders if you reseal them yourself before install. But there’s also plenty of horror stories with those, so just be advised.

    You have a 2010, so do you have the older style 2nd gen lights? I think I read once that the 2.5 gen ones are plug and play if you like those.

    Depo on my X-runner.

    Been on there for about 5 years now. No leaks or other issues. Only thing I dislike about them is they were a bit sloppy with the sealant on them. I might get a set for the DCSB too.

    I hate that the red on the OEM tails basically looks pink(ish).

    Havent been super up to date with replying to people and chatting. But I appreciate all the replies! I ended up going with the vipmoto neon tube taillights, smoked. I'll post a picture if people ever get curious how they look. Which I'll add they look amazing on the truck in person

    I have these ones also, and love them. I believe I have ~3 years on them, and still going strong. Factory look, and fit, except the parts that are chrome on the factory ones are black on the Depos. Gives the blacked out look without a darker lens.
