theoretically, yes... not quite sure how much they would charge to reproduce something. the only thing is, 'reproduce', so if we send them a set of 3rd gen taillights, they will send back the same thing, not being able to mount to ours. Don't quote me, but we MIGHT be able to get them to mimic another set, but with 2nd gen mounting requirements, would have to get him to inquire about that.

 

well no. not send them the actual 3rd gen lights. im just wondering if they could take a pair of second gen lights and make them exactly the same, except for the lense color. top half clear and bottom half red.

 

so... just replicate our current ugly lights, but instead of orange plastic, make it clear?

 

Those are pretty nice lookin, real clean...Like everyone else here I like the taillights. Not too big on the name tho, a little to alphanumeric and long for me.
Dragon can you post pics of the recaros?

 

pretty much. but thats just what i would like to have. some people have bought the clear tails and just painted the brake light section of it red and left the turn signal part clear.
like so..... (yes i know this is a 3rd gen)

 

You guys and your taillights

 

Whatever Mr. I painted my tail lights all red to make them look better

 

I found on eBay a set perfect for me... It has the backup lights in the taillights like my stock ones and also have reflectors build in.

They're near stock, but look soo seet... ˟˟˟˟˟*ng price... 183$!

well, i got what I THINK (he never sent me pics before he mailed them ) is the ones from that chinese 2nd gen coming in the mail right now, dunno when it's gettin here, hopefully within the week.. I'll let you guys know how they fit and take some pics.

 

word. keep us updated. Thanks for the info.

Mike

 

they look similar to the rav4 tail lights if you ask me..




sorry i couldn't find a better pic for the Rav4

Blizzard- those lights are awsome. i would love a set of those without the reverse lights in them. too bad about the price! i guess i'll just keep on dreaming.

 

taillights get in on monday (supposedly), they got delayed when the chinese police brought the package back to his door demanding to see his 'export' license.. which he doesn't have, and made a quick call to his friend who exports for wal-mart to smooth things over. so.. can't wait.. only thing is, i'm out of town till friday night.. will take pics as soon as i can.

 

Agreed, 2nd gen runners ARE awesome.

 

The tail lights and some accessories are cool and so is the thought of a brand new 2nd Gen built in 2005.

They won't put the $$$ into it to create even a remotely reliable vehicle. I'm not trying to bust anyones bubble, but counterfeiting by the Chinese is p*ssing me off. They've openly done it to every manufacturer of everything with the support of the government, theirs and ours. (MFN status)

Toyota products are more expensive than comparable models from nearly every other manufacturer. If you look at their bottom line, it's relatively the same. No more profitable than the others, well minus GM. If it were even hintingly more profitable, Toyota would be the only automobile stock being bought.

As soon as the first Great Wall vehicle hits 400,000 miles with as little maint. as Silver Trucks , I will gladly sell my over priced Yoters.

So I was wondering...how did the tail lights turn out?

 

Yeah, what happened with'em?

David

 

What he said!

You can get the tail lights at harbour freight along with the truck.

 

sorry to report that im STILL waiting on them, apparently north america introduced alot more red tape to products being shipped from china while these were in transit. I ask a couple times a week where they are, and I either get 'im not sure' or 'i think they're in the states somewhere'...

who knows when i'll get them now.. but when/if I ever do, I will post pictures.

 

Hehe I'll look at that post often so

Hope you get'em quickly.

David

PS: Are the ones with backup lights in them?
