    Tailights (? tone/moncha/whoever)

    does our tailights match any other isuzu on the market?

    No im sorry Apostle I'm afraid our taillights are VX specific. The closest thing i've ever observed to ours are perhaps the dodge durango...

    You mean like the Altezzas? Hmmm, I thought so before Cyrk did some photoshop mockups to see what they would look like, and then I had a change of mind.

    IMHO, Altezza style lights look good on the cars that ship with them (Lexus, etc). AFtermarket, they just add to the spicey ricey rack.

    Dig up teh mockups Cyrk did. You decide.

    Agreed. Too many people wanting their lights to look like others... it got too played out. I would rather mine look as unique as possible, but that is MHO as well.

    Ya. As far as i know, I am the only one that chunked down the change for them. I at least got a deal since they were the prototype, but they are still pricey.

    They arent clears, but I did get them darkened/tinted and they feature LED brake and turn signals. The reverse light is optional, but I didnt get that in LED.

    I really like them and they are about 300% more visible than the stock set. If you have the money to drop on them and it won't hurt your purse, I say it is a GREAT mod/addition to your VX.

    Has anyone with a Rodeo/Passport tried their lights to see if they are interchangeable? They sure look similar - but after my mirror debacle, I'm not going to plunk down the money to find out!

    Worm, understand now, looked at cyrks mock ups



    i saw some that had a darker look, wasnt for vx of course, but thought those would look alright, think instead of chrome, it had carbon fiber look. yeah chrome is not what i wanted anyway, wouldnt match

    saw an Amigo today, looked new, and the tailights look pretty damn much the same as ours, wasnt in my car or i would have pulled right next to it and measured.

    anyone look at the new amigos?

    Not sure about new Amigos. I think last year was the final year of production (they were called "Rodeo Sports" instead of the Amigo). I don't think they are in the Isuzu lineup for the 2005 model year. Seems like I looked at one and discounted it (similar but more angular).
