    I like these a lot too and have been considering them. Been seeing them a lot on Instagram. Personally I’d go with the black clear since black smoke may be a bit dark for my taste and I don’t want any annual inspection issues. Did you end up getting these?

    I agree. I haven’t bought them yet. Still seriously considering them though.

    I came close to pulling the trigger but checked in with a guy who ran them for a bit and he had condensation in the tail light after about 5 months and he switched them out. That scared me off and I got a pair of the 2020 TRD Pro tail lights instead. I really love the look of these tail lights but for that price I don't want to deal with some of the issues customers have been having with them.

    I bought these taillights off of Tacoma Beast and at the beginning was super thrilled because they looked great with my truck. Unfortunately, I have only had these taillights in for a little over 4 months and my truck is currently being re-wired and re-programmed due to these lights melting all my wiring from the taillights forward all the way into the fuse box. Super disappointed considering its a 2020 Tacoma and I have only had it since February. Still fairly new to me and this is not what I wanted to be doing already. I'm sure it is probably just my luck because I haven't seen anyone with the same issue. Both dealerships it has been to said that is was 100% the taillights that caused this issue.

    I have these for the post year and they look great. In that picture they are way darker than they actually are. No issues at all with mine and they are bright especially the reverse for being 3 small LEDs.

    I’ve had them on my truck for about 3 years, no issues. Pretty happy with them

    Late response but I have these lights. They definitely seep dirt through them if you ride hard. I have a handful of sand in mine, and water/ mud burned the reverse LEDs.

    As dumb as it sounds, I really like the designs on these so I am considering buying them again. This time I'll properly seal them out of the box before slapping them on.
