Ok, this may sound stupid but this is what i want to do: I want to get either KJ taillights/altezas (when they come out)/ or standard TJ lights and fit them to my TH. But to do this i need a new boot. I want to go with the KJ boot. as far as i know, the boot off a TJ syle magna and tail lights will fit a TH, am i right? Im only doing this because im not a fan of the rear of the TH but i prefer the front over the TJ.. did that make sence? :nuts:

Cheers, Rob.

Isnt the KJ a Verada? and if so, it has lights on the actual boot, so you wouldnt want to be fitting TJ lights, especially altezzas when u have square ugly lights on the boot lid. Im still skeptical that TJ lights fit on a TH..

But yeh, correct me if im wrong.

if i was going the verada boot i would go the verada lights but otherwise i would go the normal TJ boot with alteza's or normal lights.
I tryed putting a TJ light on myne the other day and it fit ok untill i tryed to close the boot then it wouldnt close due to the boot sticking out to far in the middle of the sides :nuts: if ya know what i mean.. im confusing myself here :bowrofl:

I know of at least one TF with TJ lights on it and the boot shuts properly, but because of the shap difference between the two boots, the tail lights stick out about an inch from the boot. If that makes sense.lol

yeah it does. but i want the boot mainly, as i dont like the TE/F/H boot. And the TJ boot with the earlyer style lights looks weird

the boot and tail lights from a te-th are interchangable with a tj,kj and tl. All the mounts and seals are exactly the same.. its just the visual appearance that is different

if anyone is after a set of tj tail lights i am selling my set. pm me if interested

I know its bad to repeat things but to clear things up, even a KL verada Boot and tail lights can be transferred to te - th?

cuz i like the look of those verada rear ends

Update: I called mitsu spares and they want $305 for the boot and $62 for that bit that goes in the middle of the boot. You know what i mean. DOes anyone sydney based know of a weckers that would have a TJ boot in good nick, without a spoiler :P :>, im guessing the painting of the boot will cost somewhere between $200 and $350. does that sound rite?
