Tail light options?

Hello everyone,
I have a 95 toyota 4runner and I have not found a single option for my tail lights other than the stock ones. I was wondering if anyone has ever come across some euro tail lights or anyting like that that would fit on this truck. Any info at all about different tail lights would be a appreciated.

Thanks.
Coot

Thanks guys,
I know I have seen some that look just like scofco's but are euro white instead of all red. I was wondering if anyone has come across those, I have been searching ebay forever and have not been able to find anything. Is there a website that anyone recommends that sells these?

I missed this thread, but to answer the ticket question, no never had a ticket, or get pulled for the clear reflectors. Infact it even passed inspection, just shows that inspections here in TX is just a tax and serves no real purpose. The only issue was trying to find bulbs that would properly light red. I did get pulled by a cop for the tail light being out and all he said is "get it replaced, makes it look like your reverse lights are on" which is because of the clear reflector and it being night. I think most cops don't look for these since they where all the rage in the mid to late 90's and the altezzas are the current rage and legal. I sold these on eBay for a killing before I sold the 4runner. Anyway, if you go to www.ih8mud.com and look for a member called MOT, he can get you hooked up with JDM and such goodies.

Rocket,
Im interested in those tail lights, but would they pass inspection or would I too have to look around for some new bulbs?

Coot, where do you live? If your in CA (ticket hungry cops) you might have a problem. Just about anywhere else should be fine.
They use normal size bulbs...red and orange.
