How to Choose the Right Tail Light? Toyota Hilux Compatibility & Fitment Guide
Toyota Hilux is one of New Zealand’s most popular utility vehicles, but not all Hilux tail lights are the same. Different year ranges have different designs, mounting points, and wiring. This guide helps you identify which tail light fits your Hilux, whether you're replacing a damaged unit or upgrading for a new look.

Key Features: Upright design, clear red-white halogen look, plug-in connectors.
Notes: Fits most N70 Hilux models from 2005 to early 2011. Check mounting screw alignment and connector type before ordering.
