    I don't think any of them are perfect.
    Crystaleyes don't quite fit the pockets perfectly, but look decent.
    Their lenses are clean and the casting is good.

    However....

    In less than 6 months, the chrome was gone from the top edges. This was not from waxing either... I think I only WASHED the truck maybe 4 times.

    I replaced them with a set of smoked Z2000's. Fit is about the same, maybe a bit better. They look nice, but there are some flaws in the clear plastic.

    Both will show condensation inside after a heavy rain or washing with a pressure washer, so I would put electronic-grade silicone grease in all of the bulb sockets.

    I don't how it is in Wisconsin ... but out here in California the clear lense thing is dying out. Notice in the auto magazines that the clears are on sale.
    I was glad to hear the comment about the (lack of) quality.
    I'm going to go with carbon fiber or flat black myself.

    I have seen the carbon fiber on ebay and like them the best. I also have a black truck and think the carbons would look great. Anyone purchased them from ebay or another place (the carbon fibers) and have any testimonials?

    I bought a set of carbon fibers off ebay. They're not a perfect fit, but it's close enough. They do look good. No complaints so far.

    I saw a guy last week that had a Chevy with square tail lights that had LED panels and it looked nice, they've been used in older stangs and vettes for a while. If you look at the newer Nissans they have LED, most of what I have seen at shows, etc has been custom work.

    To my knowledge (I have done a few inetrnet searches) no one makes them yet for the Tundras. But, like Altezzas, it is probably only a matter of time before things are put out. A quick search on google for LED+taillights will uncover many versions for the ricer market.

    Here's smoked:

    These are the same as the Z2000's that SteveG was selling last year (not sure if he still has them or not). The carbon fiber would be the same, except the reflector area is a fake carbon fiber pattern... not real CF.
