I hope you guys don't have troubles with aftermarket clear tail lights.
Toyota does extensive tests for genuine parts using different equipments to apply extra UV, extra IR, heat-shock, heat-cycle, pressurized water, extra voltage and many others.
Those aftermarket one tends to fail quickly leaking, becoming yellowish, cracked and etc. Sometimes even the trunk becomes a pond. No wonder without those strict tests.

understood, of course most aftermarket parts, not just lights, are not manufactured in the same light as OEM. my tails do fit fairly well despite being aftermarket though does not equal the quality of OEM. it's just for style.

I got a set of LED tails from Options Auto and the inners don't really fit well, the bottom portion sticks out about 1/4" or more, almost like they weren't pushed in all the way when they built them but they work and look pretty nice

@timmy, have you never seen the pickup and SUV lights with the chrome tail covers? They're literally everywhere here in NY. I would have to assume its everywhere else too. I was thinking something like that. Maybe you're looking to do something a bit more... umm ostentatious.

not going for ostentatious and yes i have seen those chrome covers. it will not be like that as my chrome strips are only 1/4" thick. it's just an experiment to see how it will look. if too gaudy they can always be removed.
trying to see if we can get (or make) a clear 3rd brake light as well!
