as you can see, the fit is stock-like...no gaps or alignment problems

bluegsx,

They look really nice!
One quick question, how long did they take to arrive to your doorstep once you placed an order?

Thanks,
JP

Those look amazing, I am tempted to upgrade to these now although they are expensive. lol, i already have the clear/red crystalized upgrade...but these LEDs look amazing. I'm jealous.

Nice upgrade!!

keep in mind Jan 21 was a holiday...that being said, it took 6 business days...regular ground shipping

Thanks for the reply, I was only asking because it will tell whether the taillights are coming from China or US. Most ebay motor parts sellers thesedays say they are located in US, but takes more than 3 wks to ship and when you look at their address, it's from China

One more question, did the new tails throw the lamp indicator sensor light on your dash?

no lamp indicator malfunction light everything is fine

I will look at the box tonight (its in my 4Runner) and see where the address came from...I believe it came from California but I'm not sure

hopefully I can get some side by side shots next to our white 05 LS430 around 6pm tonight
