Is there a difference between 2wd and 4wd corner lenses?

Is there a difference between the 3rd gen corner lenses for 2wd and 4wd pickups? I bought a set of clear corners off of Ebay, for a 94 Toyota pickup. Received them in the mail, right away I could tell they were the wrong ones. The listing has them as Toyota lenses, I'm curious to know if what they sent me were for a 2wd.

BTW, I email the seller the day I received them, one of which is actually a business, about the mishap. They emailed me back within a hour and apologized for the mishap. I offered to email them pictures so that they can see the problem and they asked for them so that they could figure out a way to solve the issue. I sent them photos.....2 days later, haven't heard back. How long should I go, not hearing from them, before I attempt to go through ebay to get this issued resolved?

Heres a few pics of the lenses.

those arent both the same side right? the stock one is driver side and the bling bling one is for the passenger side. in the pics it looks like you are comparing them as if they are for the same side

They're the same side. If I grab the other clear light, the product numbers on the light would be upside down in comparison

if they are from a 4runner I think they will be different. I tried putting ones off a 4runner on mine cus I had a broken one and it was to long. that could be your issue

Thats interesting. Looking through the galleries at 2nd gen runners, the corner lights look identical to mine, a far cry from what I received.

well the middle and the bottom light in the above pic should be the same side. all the side markers i have ever seen for the yote's slant up towards the hood like the above pic of the 2nd gen. without taking the number into account how do the tabs and holes mount up if tried on the opposite side? it still however looks a little large from the pics.

Wont even go in if I try to install them. Too large. I looked up some photos of 2wd's and they might be a little bigger or smaller or the same size as the 4wd, but definitely not the same as these.

I've since emailed the seller again, for the 4th time. We'll see where this goes. He replied the first day I emailed him, on the 27th, and hasn't replied back yet.

I think your correct on that one. Angles look similar, though the top corner looks rounded, not the sharp angle these have (#1 post, last pic, bottom lens)
