I really love the new Insurance/Braga Large LED taillights
those are not jp taillights, and if they are they are they cheep version. real jp tails are not led and the look exactly like oem lights but clear. and they cost $1600. do a search.

Um dude, do a little more research. Those photos were taken from JP's website. JP has LED and non-LED taillights. The Non-LED ones are just modified OEM ones, which is way overpriced if you ask me. But for the LED ones at $880 a set I wouldn't call it really "cheap" but they do look cheap LOL Thats just me 0.02 cents

JP doesnt make led's. The leds they sell are just the Sonar ones with a $300 mark up on them

Sooo, if the jp's ARE modifed factory tail lights, then maybe you CAN take out the orange part on then lower tail light. Right? =) cause that's what I want, red/clear no lED.

they are not modified but look identicle to 01+ oem except the amber/clear. only on the 98-00 you can take the amber out. please search more you will find all this out and more. there is even a diy for the removal of the amber in 98-00

Iirc jp laser weld the clear on and ship them in Toyota boxes. lol

Also the cold weather inners, only depends on how you wire it up... It's not any brighter than your normal inners, I've wired up that it only light up when I press the brake so it's normally off

Are you certain on that? Cuz if you'll notice in the following photos the taillights come in a Toyota box with just JP tape across. I guess if you wanna know for sure is take a up close look at the lens itself and see if there is a "Toyota" stamp in the lens

OEM/JP are the best looking...Pretty damn rare nowadays, with the price being so high.

This is the info I have gotta from past post on the JP Tail lights. JP gets the OEM Toyota lights before they are assembled, laser cut out the orange, replaces it with the clear piece then the unit is assembled, hence you see the Toyota boxes.

Quote from a past post.
"The crazy part about these taillights is that JP doesn't really make any real money on these. they buy the oem taillights for an arm and a leg. They go out and laser cut the orange out and they go out and fabricate the euro clear which a lot of people don't understand sometimes, its not just a piece of clear its a euro clear piece they fabricate and they mold back into the lens than put them back together. its a lot of work. no one here in to the states has been able as of yet to reproduce them..."
