Of course it has backup lights in it - what do you think that clear part is for?

^^ Actually the more I look at the pics of the tail lights I think those may be clear turn signal lenses. You can sort tell there is an amber bulb in there (or so it looks)...
Plus the normal back up lights are still in the tailgate....seems odd for the factory to have quad reverse lights.
Its still better than what we have but not quite as cool as I first thought

Um, okay

"They sell for $9,000 to $15,000. " Dahamn! the grown up version of those Chinese scooters they sell on ebay (and in auto parts stores etc) - they look great and run fine for about a week, then you can't get parts. Ever.

It seems about right that central planning has put Chinese cars about two generations behind...

Wow this is more like an Hilux Surf, the tire carrier and the license plate in one side...
You can use those clear taillights, I can't

i've got my contact looking into the company that manufactures these parts for great wall for the taillights specifically, gonna see if i can get a sample (usually free ) to do a test fit.
then go from there, should know soon what kind of cost im looking at, curious, what would you guys be willing to pay on a set like those? as for the headlights, they're sweet, but you'd have to get the grill and hood otherwise it wouldnt line up.
also, he said that these companies are better at reproducing then designing, so if someone had a set of clears i could send them, get them duped and reproduced at a MUCH cheaper cost, just a thought.
and from what i can tell about these lights is, the 'clear' section is for your turn signal, you can see the amber bulb inside.

Hilux surf
Okay Gents,
maybe I can help you out with some of the minor confusion here on the what the HILUX SURF has in the model line up..as you all know it is a 4RUNNER and almost the same as the one sold in the states. All of my after market parts have come from the states and bolted right on the only thing that changed was my brake lines went from metric to S.A.E.
GEN2
The top dog was/is the SSR G
Avail option is SUN ROOF
remote door lock
cargo cover
STOCK is
Cruise control
PWR windows
pwr door locks
ECT suspension (electic two position dampening adjustment)
High mount spare tire
8 speaker stero (4 of those are tweets and the rear main speaks have a built in amp)
rear spoiler w 3rd tail light
RECARO seats up front and matched cloth on the ones in the back(charchol black). This also made the int avail in one color GRAY regardless of ext paint color.
the next in the line was the SSR X where everthing above is an option less the seats so a ext/int color match was avail, GRAY was std and the rear spoiler
bottom line was SSR
NO high mount spare
NO 8 speakers
no remote door
no sun roof
no spoiler
options:
ECT
upgraded 4 speaker stero
cruise
color matched int
all that being said I have a G model and if any wants to see some pics say so I can post them here.
note on the high mount spare tire...there is some right rear corner body strength that has been added to the inside that can not be seen and the tailgates are very different...the tag is no longer center and recessed, the door key is not on the right side. The tag was moved to a pretruding left side mount to clear the tire rack the door key is next to it and the backup lights where moved in with the rest of the tail lights. The hole that was left by the relocated tag was filled up with the pieces to hold the tire rack closed the door key just has plastic plug in it.

please post photos..... not sure exactly what you are trying to say.... or what your reply has to do with the chinese based great wall.... please advise.
also i believe you are mistaken in regards to the ECT reference..... as i understand it ECT is related to automatic transmission shift points and NOT suspension dampening...... i could be wrong....

seems like he's talking about the HILUX, which IS the exact same vehicle as the 4Runner over in north america that we all know. some clarification is needed.

so say if we all would like a tail light that looks like the 3rd gens (clear turn signal and red brake lenses) then we could send over a set of clear or maybe even stock tails and those could be made????
do you think there is some way that if we all decided on a style of tail light that we liked that then we could send them a set of clear or stock tails that they could produce them? so kinda like a group buy almost?
just a thought
