    Have found a number of after market replacement taillights, signal and side marker lenses. Looking for recommendations as to which company/companies to focus on to avoid junk.

    Side note, my son does a little auto/boat detailing. Did a quick buff out for me...

    I’ve had good luck with Yotamasters, LC engineering, low range offroad, 209yota1, and Yota shop. Between all those companies I’ve basically built a whole truck.

    I do. Oh well, I’ve at least admitted it.

    Everything aftermarket now for exterior lighting seems to have A: fitment issues and B: sealing issues. Once you take care of that then you have to deal with the fact that the plastics will fade,rot and crack sooner than OEM. Given that the parts are discontinued or overpriced. I just deal with the issues since the parts are so inexpensive and readily available.
