    I have had them for at least a year. I am very happy with them. I think the clear look the best.

    Those look great, The clear option is sold out, I was really hoping to see some the smoked option, Is the lens smoked or the internal red reflector smoked.. Hard to tell from the site

    It looked like the lens was smoked, I was concerned that it would further reduce the light of the reverse lighting. I normally like the smoked look, but mad an exception on these.

    I also added a Putco light blade to light things up in reverse.

    So do these things all just come from the same foreign factory and TacomaBeast is just drop-shipping them for double the price? Is there going to be any quality difference?

    Same ones you linked on eBay I also found on Amazon from a company called "Akkon" for $10 more than eBay
    $175 AKKON - Fits 2005-2015 Tacoma Pickup Truck Tube LED Black Tail Lights Left Driver + Right Passenger Pair 05-15
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HR155XP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cjkAEbGDAGW5K

    I'm trying to understand what makes the TacomaBeast tails an extra $100...

    Seems like you're paying for the easy 100% replace/return policy when you could just go through Amazon... :notsure:

    Can pretty much guarantee that they are the exact same lights that Tacoma Beast sells.

    I had read on another forum that Tacoma beast sells lights at an additional cost from other suppliers such as Spyder. Wouldn't be surprised if those Amazon lights are the same ones too.

    Pulled the trigger on the Amazon lights, I'll try to update once they get here and I've got them installed

    Anyone trying opening these up and spraying some chrome paint where the reverse bulb goes to help with the crappy backup lighting?

    I got this exact same set of tail lights for my truck. They were sold by Spyder Auto. I got them installed no problem even with stick LED brake lights. They just plug into the signal and brake sockets. My next project now is getting a good pair of reverse LEDs to go along with them. I got the red/clear variant.
