I had a little at full lock. I used a heat gun to push the fender liner in and trimmed about an 1" off of the running board where the front mud flaps would be. Not a big deal.

Yes, they bolt right in. No modding necessary.

The lights look great, was it simply plug and play? Thanks.

Yes, plug-n-play, they bolt right in.

Has anyone tried to swap out for Land Cruiser Prado Tail Lights instead? I would like to get a set but am worried they may not be an exact fit.

the sport taillights look really good on the ip gx470, but not so much with the other darker colors (black may be an exception)... imo

Looks like the Prado Lights are a Direct swap also...

If you do a quick search theres a few members here that have done the swap but if I remember correctly its not a direct swap, you have to rewire the bulbs. Not a big deal but its not plug-n-play like the newer clear lens tails are.

I might be alone but I dont like those Prado lights, I dont like the bulges in the reverse and blinkers.
