    My 2020 tundra has full frontal led lights, but 1990 tail lights. Those led’s look nice and Toyota needs to put nicer tail lights in these trucks from the factory.

    My next door neighbor has a set of these on his SR5. I think it looks better on yours if for no other reason than the fact your truck already has the other extra bits and bobbles. They look slightly out of place on my neighbor's truck imo.

    You are right and it is strange the 11-15 Tacoma’s came with pretty nice LED trails and then they went backwards in 16.

    My 2021 Sport came with tail lights with clear lenses that showed off the chrome internals. They looked like hell. So much so, that I spent $300 to replace them with SR5 tail lights. This is one case in which simpler is better.

    Is there a reason Alpharex are part of a joke? Is that not a good brand? Curious because I was thinking about going with some different headlights for my truck, and those are what I was leaning towards. Should I be wary of them?

    They do look good. Like yours too!!

    Do you have any issues with them? I haven't seen any bad reviews about them. That's why I was asking when I saw the post above about Alpharex. They seem good to me

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Have yet to find aftermarket taillights for my '21 that I find attractive or function as I would want. No rush to get into that kind of mod.

    I think the issue is more so around their headlights, not tail lights. If you search the forum for AlphaRex headlights you’ll find they are very badly performing lights. The best bet is OEM LED Headlights

    They look good. I wanted to change the taillights on my SR5 but wasn't in to spending that much. I did the Meso customs total taillight stage 1 mod. They are all LED now, look brighter and the turn signal is amber like it should be all with your stock lens.
