Default 2007 Lx470 Tail/rear lights on 2000 Lx470

Is it possible to replace the tail light with the newer model tail lights?

No, the actual lights are different widths, and the cutout in the lift gate is correspondingly differing. A new set of tail lights would be too wide.

However, they apparently make some aftermarket ones that look similar that fit the older LXs.

Default Updating exterior lamps on LX470

I kept all the stock lens assemblies on my 1999 LX470 and replaced the incandescent bulbs with aftermarket L.E.D. bulbs, (I used "Jamb Straight" brand). I did this 7 years ago, have had no problem and they look great!

KBFlight,
Do you have picture of your vehicle after you replace the rear lights with LED's? I want to see what difference does it make after this replacement

Thank You
