    Thanks for the pictures and video. I think I like the look of these with black housing/smoke lens. Now to see how to get the wiring fixed so it'll work on my '04!

    I’ve been happy with these. They were about $65 so we’ll see how they hold up... normally I go OEM or better if possible. I doubt these are high quality but I’ve been impressed so far.

    My buddy got those same exact ones and the brake light lense melted somehow. Just keep an eye on your bulbs I guess?

    Which lights did you go with? I don't see that style on ebay.
    Also, what size are your tires and how many inches of lift on the truck?

    So I finally got the tails and can now install them.

    Do I put a "jumper" wire in the harness to connect the two slots?

    The best part of all this is that you choose the style that you like best. I am going with these cause they are made by DEPO DEPO for Hilux 98-04.jpg
