    Anyone got these? Might be in the market for them soon here. Kinda want to go back to more of a stock look but not entirely. Open to others though as well so drop your pictures.

    I have some 01/04 ones on my 97. Here’s how they look.
    Those ones look nice but it looks like the reverse light on the ones you like is blacked out so it’s gonna be hard to reverse unless you have pods or something in the back

    I prefer the smoother 97-00 tails, but still red and clear. IMG_20200620_151046965_HDR~2.jpg

    They aren’t terrible, but a better than stock bulb makes it a lot better.

    My buddy sent me a link on FB about these. When I did a search it didn’t come up originally because it’s listed for early Tacoma’s only.

    They will still fit your 01/04. I run 01/04 tails on my 97 and it’s literally plug and play. Don’t know why more people don’t do it

    I was gonna ask, turns out I dont need to. Thank you
    I'm not a huge fan of the bubbly look on the newer first gens taillights.
    I dont mean to thread jack but does anyone have a solution for my brake light being on constant? Just the passenger side.
    When I change them id like to fix that problem as well.
