    Hey all, I broke my tail light some time ago and finally looking to replace it. I was looking at the stock one but wondered if anyone has a recommendation for aftermarket ones? 2013 trd sport

    Agreed. They're the only ones that don't look cheap, IMO.

    Nothing left of my sport but the skewp
    I'll be different... tail lights as long as clearly visible don't matter. Don't get something so smoked they can't be seen. Otherwise find a pair you like the look of and give them a try.

    It's your truck and not exactly a safety concern.


    Edit: I have oem but would or will switch as needed

    OEM always looks good.

    But some aftermarket ones are sweet as well.

    I think oem 2009-15 are the best looking ones and relatively inexpensive.

    I usually go with OEM everything, but this time I just wanted something different.

    I don't like smoked tailights, seems dumb to proposefully degrade visibility, but these suckers are bright, including regular running lights.

    I just broke my taillight as well and am starting to explore options. I like that OEM has amber turn signal and flashers. Anyone have a good OEM replacement site to order from? Are there any aftermarket options with Amber turn and flasher?
