Get these taillights?

So I've been eyeing these altezza style LED taillamps for quite a while. Theyre pricey at 150 so I want everybody's opinion on how they think they look on my truck. I think they look pretty cool...

I actually like them. I'm not a big fan of those smoked or altezza or whatever they are called but this one is cool.

They look like ford tail lights... have you tried over seas websites for LED or euro style tail lights for the mk3 hilux that fits your truck? they have a vast collection on ebay australia sometimes.

hey, belieze, i found these
Hilux Surf Altezza Tails
but im not too sure that they are compatible... since you seem to know more about the surfs, will they? i have the factory tire swingout and i have the funky spaced out reverse lights, but i imagine that i could wire the ones in the tail lights to runn with the stockers OR convert them to brake lights...

I paid $50 for mine, and threw in some LED bulbs and some 50watt hallogen reverse lights, and I'm happy

Personally, I think these look good with the truck, but they're not eveyone's cup of tea I would have rather gone with the full LED ones like those, but at the time I didn't have the money, and this set of tail lights was cheaper than one OEM replacement for the one I broke, lol

So can I... but alas, they are ordered already. I'll be happy with them, I'm sure, just as long as I don't look in my pocket.

Those tail lights look cool, but personally I would not spend the money on that. I would rather buy some ammo or something else.

lol, ammo?










I've always wanted to use that smiley








I dunno, I hit my brakes more than I shoot a gun, so... that's me thinking logically

Heh. I ran "Spyder" euro-style tails on my '93 for a year before I sold it. They looked similar to 'Bleeder's. I liked them a lot! With stock bulbs, my taillights were easier to see at a greater distance and the reverse was 3x as bright. Plus, they looked good with the rest of my truck
