Better Taillights for a '98

Are there some better taillights that will fit instead of the factory 98's. I looked on Ebay at the clear ones, but they look pretty ghey to me... Are the 01's or 02's nicer....

The 01 and 02 tails look much better than the 96-00. You can't really tell from pics but just look at the newer 3rd gens and you'll notice the plastic on the outside is shinier. They also don't have the amber piece in the tails like the older ones. Most tails on newer cars have this same appearance to them and you only notice when you compare the old vs. the new side by side.

They're kinda pricey at the stealership but Kevin444 bought some off of ebay for $80 each including shipping. I saw these in person and they look OEM. This is a mod I'd like to do but is way down the priority list right now.

I have some Euro style clear tails on mine. not the all clear ones but the tails with the red circles and stuff. Im sure you have seen them. they look pretty good with my color car, ive seen one with the black versions of mine as well. i might have a pic if you want to see what they look like in the runner.

I would also recommend the '01 taillights! They are much more "Modern Looking" than the pre -01 taillights that seem cloudy.

BTW, the '01 tails are about $200 shipped from 1sttoyotaparts.com.
