Yes i love them too. It will replace the minivan looking tail lights for a more sporty looking jeep in the back.

[QUOTE=GX4Life]I ordered the prado tail lights from my cousin in the philippines. They cost around $115 dollars for the pair. ...(snip)

I have been searching for someplace on-line to order them. No luck. Wonder if my buddy in New Zealand can access them and mail them to me?

I understand from another poster that he paid nearly $800 for the set so the guy who got these for $110 got a great deal. I think the rear tire is mounted on the rear door in the forgiend models because it "can be" done easier. I think that crash testing in the US has made such a placement difficult for US models now-adays.

How bulky are the lights to transport? Will they fit in a suitcase?

I go to Japan on business from time to time. I wonder how much they are there?

After you install them, please post your experience installing them and some pics, if possible. Are these completely legal?

This clear prado taillight looks pretty cool. I found this link in a prior thread from a member name DavidsGX. I emailed the website but have not got a response.

GX4Life.....

In the site below, you will see where in Japan they convert the Prado to look like a Lexus, including the U.S. type tail lights.
