Hey Viper, please post some pics of whatever you decide to get since I've also got the DGP. I've been thinking of getting those Prado style LEDs but those others might look good too.

I am personally very happy with my Prado LEDs. These pics do them no justice, they really look great and are very bright! But I am curoius how the other eBay lights will look on the GX in person...could be ugly, could look great

We only have Prado here in UAE, and we don't have the GX. so people buy GX tails.

Great! We can just switch tail lights... instead of spending that much. Mmmmm... wonder how much the shipping and how long it would take. There are handful of members here who would like to upgrade to prado lights... maybe a switch/exchange arrangement can save both sides some dough.

Hey cmarshack, like how those Prado tail lenses look on your black GX, I have a black 03 too

May I ask besides the turn signal bulb, do you use the second brake light bulb in the prado lens? Looks like the Prado used one of the bulbs for the reverse lamps.

Sorry, I have not looked at this post in a while...

Brickauto:They look great on a black GX the red is actually darker than in the pics. As for the "other" bulb...I have been meaning to go out and buy another set of Philips Silvervision bulbs and then I will use the "reverse" light (bottom one in the pic) as a second turn signal. Right now the second one up is the turn signal (if you look close you can see the Philips bulb-it looks silver but flashes orange).

tyoung88: Yes I did buy them on eBay. They are these ones:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GX470...em290210636800

They are fairly easy to install. The left on is plug and play but the passenger side is wired differently. I posted this installation instructions somewhere here. If you buy them PM me and I can help you out. Also says you are in CA-if you are near the OhCee maybe I can help you install them.

Thanks for the clarification
