    I didn't care for the amber amber on the tail lights so I used night shade to make them solid. I think it makes it look a lot better. Let me know what you think. Going to get my brother to buff out all the oxidation. Looks like it will clean up good. IMG_20190315_171403.jpg IMG_20190317_151300.jpg IMG_20190321_200508.jpg

    I like it. How's it look with the lights and at night? Post some follow ups if you get a chance.

    It passes. Most tail lights these days are all red anyways. Front turn signals have to have amber bulbs. I will get a night time pic but they look good. My wife thought my break lights were out because the turn signals take up half of the light but all good.

    No. It just looks cleaner all red or clear which is why most new vehicles are doing it and it's something different from most 4runners. Now that I have all mechanical issues fixed I'm just playing around with the things I want to do now.
