JP tails are identical to OEM 01+ tails except the amber is clear.

they're identical because they're OEM toyota units modified by JP. in regards to the "JP led tail" some people confuse these with, those are actually sonar or other brand led/aftermarket housings that junction sells to keep their finger in the exploding led taillight market.


only picture i currently have of mine:


on blue onyx pearl (that color everyone mistakes for black). bought them a few weeks ago and just put them on the other day... still no pics on the car as of yet. trying to decide on a new slr, kind of holding back from posting any pics of this gs until i have some time and the right equipment to take some good shots.

sonar/carson here. i like the updated led look, especially at night. i can live with the fat clear section.

i would go jp, but like others have said, would never spend over a grand for tails.

thats just modding money down the drain that could be spend on other useful purposes on the car. but the JP's are awesome tails if your budget is right. every man to his own!

I don't think I wanna drop $1100 on tails. $300-400 range is good for me. I'm probably looking for the sonars. What makes the JP so much better anyway?

- when you hit the brake, the lights are a little bit different than other LEDs as far as I know.
- the brand
- the name
- the luxury feels in your mind & heart

i wish i have a grand to spend on JP tail light..... :sigh:

original JP tails are modified OEM toyota housings. they are not LED. they light up no differently then your current oem 01+ lights do now, because they are the same units with the addition of a clear lower section that is set in place after they laser cut the orange part out.

good luck finding these for $1000 anywhere unless someones selling a used set.


(i vote mod cleanup/delete of all posts that arent people posting a pic of their jp tails. otherwise this is just going to turn into another "they cost too much" / "are these the led ones" thread just like every other time anyone mentions these on CL - feel free to delete this post too)
