    I was rear ended and insurance is covering the cost up to 299.99 for new tail lights. I looked quickly but did not see any comparisons of taillights on here. Any pro/cons of certain ones? I had @CaliRaisedLed raptor and will likely do those again but just wanted to see if anyone knew of any different options similar to these.

    Perfect haha. Wife voted for the raptors. Which I guess is good as I definitely would’ve had to spend more money with MESO lol. I was 50/50 on them. The pros do look good. Thanks for the input.

    I use a set of 17-19 TRD Pro taillights. I might switch to the new TRD Pro taillights though.

    For some reason the black tail lights look like they have electrical tape on the borders.

    I know I have a better pick of the tail lights but can’t find it right now.
