Tail light options

[Big_John]

I found my left rear tail light has a crack. Any sugestions for best prices as I begin to search one out....
also noticed that around my high mount tail light I have some rust making an appearance...
my thought is this, remove that lens cover, make repairs to the rust area and since my 4runner does not have the "spioler" with light on it, order a painted one and install it? Thoughts on that?

The taillight try Partznet.com.

That would work for the rust repair. You could also use POR-15 on the rust spot to stop it from coming back. The spoiler does require drilling which could introduce rust in another spot.

I say fix the rust you have! unless you really want the spoiler. Check out rust bullet rust converter pretty much the same as por-15 except rustbullet comes in quite a few more colors you might be able to get something close to the color of your truck! If you decide to go with the spoiler take some of the por-15 or rust bullet and brush it around the holes you drill so you dont run into another problem!

Thanks for the tail light spot and the ideas on the rust guys, the size of the area effected requires It match the paint, or get covered with the spoiler.
I may do my best at blending it when I spray.

Hey BigJohn, if you have a 03'-05', you should switch out your tailights for the 06'-09' LED tailights.:cowboy:

does it require anything special, or just plug and play? good idea

 

[andyman32392]

You might wanna do a little searching just in case but im pretty sure they are just plug and play.

They are plug & play. Did it on my 2005. Also have to use the bulb holders from the original lights for the directionals & reverse lights. VERY bright brake lights and they look MUCH better!
