i'm confused, what do you guys mean by 2 clear ones??? I know that the Prado lights have the Stop light and the turn signal light, and the back up lights (since there are no backup lights like the GX next to the plates)

Yes, there is the stop light, the turn signal light, and the back up light. On the GX there is the turn signal light, and 2 stop lights all using clear bulbs. So once i replace the gx tail light with the prado's, 1 stop light bulb will go in the red part of the taillight, then i will replace the clear turn signal light with an amber bulb which will go in 1 of the clear parts. Then there is the 2nd clear part which i dont know what to do with. there will be an extra wire with a clear bulb for the gx's 2nd stop light. should i replace it with a red bulb? i dont know how that would look when breaking with the 2 different red lights.

If it becomes too much of a problem, I'll be glad to take them off your hands.

I ordered the prado tail lights from my cousin in the philippines. They cost around $115 dollars for the pair. I didn't need to pay for any shipping because a relative of mine was there on vacation and brought it here. However right now I actually only have the right side, because the toyota dealer used the other left side for someones prado for replacement. The left side had to be ordered directly from japan which takes about 2 weeks, because they rarely stock those tail lights in the parts department. Regardless, my aunt will be bring it here next week. I could have easily ordered korean tail lights for the prado, however i wanted the original toyota ones. Hopefully it will look sweet with the ash blue. I already have an idea, but i cant wait till i install them. It should be done hopefully by the end of next week. I will post before and after pics.

Thanks thats a good idea, I wil definitely consider that. I hope it is not that complicated and doesn't become a problem.

I just got my GX christmas week and I ordered the tail lights about 3 weeks ago.

After reviewing some Prado pictures and taking a good look at the clear lenses and the tail gate, I have determined that one of the clear lenses holds the back-up lights, as there are none on the tailgate.

Yes, one is for the back up light. Im thinking of just putting a clear bulb in there, and not connecting it. Just have the 1 stop light and 1 turn signal. I really dont feel like cutting and splicing wires, especially if i need to put the original tail lights back in one day. So its either going to be a red bulb or a non functioning clear bulb.Thats what im thinking.
