I was just down at Toyota looking at all the imports and noticed something that might be of interest to all you LJ78 Prado owners dealing with the DOT lighting issues.
I noticed that the tail lights on the 2-door LJ78's (or are these technically LJ71's?) are DOT stamped while those on the 4-Door LJ78's are not.
However (why is there always a however) due to slight shape differences of the rear corners of these vehicles (2-door sharp corner, 4-door more rounded) the tail lights are slightly different in design and shape...not very but they are different.
So I can't say for sure if they are swappable but if anyone has the means to check that would be good to know, possible making some Prado owners day in BC a whole lot better.
(As a side note, I had a peek at the 300ZX import they have as well and just for everyone's knowledge, all the lighting except the headlights are DOT stamped)
