I was wondering if anyone had found found the Euro/Altezza lights for the last models of 720s. I have the 85 with the red lights on the sides of the bed like so Image

Anyways, I've been looking for the aftermarket taillights like so

Those are for K5 Blazers/Tahoes, but at this point, I'm seriously considering adapting those to my 720. Anyone done something similar to their tails or is everyone contempt with their normal Red & white tails?

Never seen them for the 720s. There was a member on another forum who said they bought a set of clear taillights from ebay.

I hate those things. They look stupid on trucks. They look stupid on cars too but even more so on trucks.

I just want them because of the LED lights. I don't like half of the "Altezzas" that are offered these days, and its rare to see something I like when it comes to these tail lights. But yeah, I've seen people morph Cadillac Fleetwood LED lights into the bed but I think that's too much work. I just want a simple solution to upgrade to LED's. Unless someone can work the current taillights to have LEDs

I spent weeks looking for any kind of aftermarket taillights for the 85-86 Nissan 720 with no luck whatsoever. I was trying to go that route to save a couple of bucks. So my guess is if you want to go with a LED setup, it will have to be custom.

Try using LED bulbs from autolumination.com. Keep the factory look but have LEDs behind those classic lenses.
