i'm asking if anyone has seen or used these before. Ive never seen them, so I thought i'd post it. search ebay or check out item# 8008458145. I've never seen a 4runner come with these so I have to assume they are aftermarket.
 
i see.

the headlights themselves are 99+ headlights.. though the auction says "OE replacement" so theyre probably just aftermarkets. probably of decent enough quality, their feedback is decent enough.

the corners i believe are a jdm part. you can buy those from jason b. in fact id get all of it from jason.

im running all of that (jason b clears and i have the factory headlight lenses) on my truck, plus i have the clear turn signals:

i'm kinda burned out on the whole clear thing. Too many people have it, and rice gives me indigestion. Plus i have a black 4runner. Have you ever seen smoke tails? or can you just wrap them with window tint...

im confused.. you are burned out on clear corners? but you posted about them?

im lost.

oh well. smoked tails can getcha into trouble with the 5-0 so just be careful.
 
i shouldn't generalize. I don't know what others' interpretations are. But when i hear the words "clear lens" I think of a white-out or chromed out look. Maybe with a red lens cap or 2. these just struck me different. And i'm basically just trying to get opinions on the look... Also when i say smoked tails, I don't mean black out. Just something more on the lines of this

is this also not cool it the law?

Sounds like theres some confusion going on.... To me it looks like those headlights are "clear" but have black on the inside... Where as you can also get them clear where there chrome. Just my 2 cents but i might be completly wrong about what you all are talking about

I think it really updates the truck and ~flows~.

They are many aftermarket heads, corners, etc, and not all are made the same, and some use cheap components. The ones I've used have help up great and I've had them on the longest I'm sure. More pics/write-up on my site.

The Clear Corners and Bumpers I have added have been some of the best mods that I have done! Really not sure what you are relating to by the term "ricey"... I have had Jason B's corners/bumpers for about 4 months and I'm still looking at them. IMO...If you do a MOD for looks and you are still admiring 4 months later...It's worth it!

If I had some better image software I would show you what I mean...not "ricey" at all (if I'm interpreting what you mean by that term "ricey" correctly)
 
i love the '99+ headlights. if i had the cash, i would put them on my 98. i also love lee's setup up front. looks good on black. but i would not be able to do it on my truck. i don't think it would look right. so i suppose that is up the the individual. and as for the blacked out tails.....sometimes they are hard to see when they are blacked out. but you can get the tail light covers from gto or whoever. i have never been a huge fan of those though. but then again, i am not really a huge fan of the tail light guards (grille type). but that is an option for your look. easily removable too. unlike a window tint application.
 
again. i'm not talking about blacked out tails....i'm talking about SMOKED... Anywho.....the reason I consider it ricey is..Where i'm from, and I dont know if it's the same nationwide, all these ghetto kids take their crappiest multicolored cars and put clears in them and thinks they're a road racer... they put lights everywhere, windshield washer, valve stems, litle glowing antennas.. bugs the hell outa me and I don't want my 4runner to look anything similar to that....I know everyone has their own opinion as to what looks good, and in mine, that doesn't.....example....

well if you take a crappy multicolored car and do anything to it its still gonna look crappy.

if you develop a consistent theme on a nice looking truck, it wont look crappy.

:iagree:

Subtle touches are where it's at. Don't go overboard with all that crappy stuff from Kmart.

Everyone has different likes and dislikes, all I can say is I really like My Clear Corners and Bumpers...One of the easiest and best mods I have done along with the Chrome Bulbs.

Marshallmay, I really wish you could see one of our trucks in person...I really believe you would change your mind.
 
the thing that always makes me laugh is when people plaster huge text on their windshields.

yesterday in the lot of circuit city, i saw a POS old pontiac minivan with PONTIAC written in cursive splattered on the windsheild.

I know exactly what your talking about...It probably had six months worth of dirt on it too since the owner never wash's it!

As God is my witness, If I ever own, or Drive a Mini van in Public I want someone from one of these Boards to take my License, Keys and Shoes away from me.

I'll bet the dirt on the Minivan was older than the windshield lettering!

damnit i actually just put one of those on, i have an aftermarket 6 inch tint banner across my front windshield and 2 days ago i put a red quicksilver sticker across it, i thought it looked pretty straight, ill post up some pics in the morning.
 
here they are honest opinions, yall think this is still stupid rediculous?
