Tail Light options
Hi all, putting a wood flat bed on my 95 xtra cab (thanks to the invaluable help from this forum). Was wondering what my options are for new tail lights. Probably going to have a back board for the lic plate so they could mount there. Looking for something cool.
Thanks
Thanks
Pretty much what ever you want only being limited by your budget.

Keep your stock tail light housings and go with LED lights. There's a lot of guys on line selling them now but I like these guys for the exterior lights. They have a very helpful and informative site. These bulbs like nice also. Do a search and you'll find plenty of options.
When I had my 1996 F350, I put LED bulbs in my stock housings and it looked awesome. Almost like an eye looking out of the tail light housing. A lot brighter and very different looking. I bought them off Ebay but forgot from who. Remember that if you are putting them into a red lens, you need a red LED bulb, etc....The bulb needs to be the same color as the lens. And make sure you get a bulb with 360 degrees of coverage. If I can find a pic of my old truck, I will post it up when I have a chance.
I haven't had a chance to do it to the 4Runner, but will definitely do it in the future. Just another option for you as I can't stand the look of some of those cheesy Chinese aftermarket housings on Ebay....
Oh...sorry I see you have a flatbed. Check out these LED trailer lights...you have some options here.
Here's a link for license plate lights/mounts....

I bought a combo set of round led running/tail/directional but what can I use as a backup light?
