06 Tails Toyota or OEM aftermarket?

[mario552k]

I wanted to know if anyone out there has used the OEM aftermarket 06 and up tail lights, because on eBay they are $94 versus Toyota $150 @partznet. Asking because I got an 05 and wanted to do the LED switch I just was wondering if I should spend the extra hundred dollars.

I have them, look exactly like the oem 06+ tails. If you look close though up in the top outside corner though you can see some wrinkles in the plastic that I bet the OEMs dont have. I dont think anyone would ever notice the difference. However I am sure the OEMs are better quality and may hold up better over time. IDK, they came out to be like 210 shipped, it is hard to beat that price.

Pirate thanks, Im gonna debate it for a little while because the seller is in California therefore I get taxed and then it comes out to a forty dollar savings I plan on keeping the 4runner till it dies so I might go with the partznet lights. They were still plug and play right?

yep plug and play and look great, I am keeping the runner till it dies too, so I guess I will see what happens with these

Go with the OEM off ebay. I bought mine from the same guy. They look great. Be for warned the reverse lights on the 06 and up dont do a very good job of lighting the area. This is the only down side to them.

Thanks everyone for the info I think Im gonna go with partznet free shipping with orders over 150 and I got to pay tax with the guy on eBay so its really only a $30 dollar difference each light plus it scares me that he doesnt offer any returns.
