Starting the body clean up process and noticed my side lamps have some cracks. Any leads on new / good shape park lamps?

You may want to contact ToyotaMatt at VintageTeqParts.com Home Page – VintageTEqParts.com - https://vintageteqparts.com/ as I believe he has, or is in the process having OEM Reproduction side lamps/markers made for the 80 Series Land Cruisers.

There appear to be a few after-market options on ebay for cheap, especially the import clear ones (vs US amber), which is what I need. My lenses have holes, so they hold water. Sure, they are likely crap compared to OEM, but at $60/pair shipped, buy 3 sets for barely more than one single used OEM lamp is running. (I know it's sacrilege for even suggesting, so I pray the Cruiser God's will forgive me, lol)

Ah s***. When I was in partsouq the other day ordering interior bulbs I swore I saw them. You're right.

I have a set of depos on mine. The grey around the edges is wearing off and chrome is showing through. And they're pretty new.

I had a we crash and bought a set of lights, corners and blinkers. Here's how they look. Quality is fine so far other than the grey trim is peeling and a chrome plastic ring is showing through.

There are more than a few OEM used ones on eBay. 116-160 bucks each.

Crap Chi-com copies are better than an empty hole in the fender, kinda.

Went to a buddy's to install my White Knuckle sliders and ran into this dust storm right beforehand (that's not rain!).

Clear corners are not NLA, I got mine off Partsouq within the last year. You just need to search all the oddball non US models and years. The crappy options on Ebay will last you a couple years and fade quickly.

SOR has aftermarket clear corner lamps- I bought a set and they seem pretty decent .
