After a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 facelift, customers often focus on the front end: bumper, hood, grille, headlights. But the rear end affects the overall impression just as much. If the tail lights look outdated or don’t match the style of the front, the whole facelift feels unfinished.
Basic facelift kits come with standard LED tail lights in the 2016–2021 style. But they can be swapped for Black Edition, Sequential Red, Sequential Red Plus, or Sequential Black.
Tail light comparison
| Option | When to choose |
|---|---|
| OEM Standard | You want an OEM look with no extra cost |
| Black Edition | You want a darker, premium style |
| Sequential Red | You want a more modern look with a dynamic effect |
| Sequential Black | The vehicle is being built in a dark Black Edition style |
Which lights are added most often
For a restrained look, standard lights are enough. For a more modern effect, people choose Sequential Red or Sequential Red Plus. If the vehicle is being built in a dark style, it makes sense to install Sequential Black.
Which kits they are compatible with
These lights fit LC200 2016–2021, and also pre-facelift vehicles 2007–2015 after converting to the facelift using the Comfort, 2019 Executive, or 2021 Executive kits.
What else to add
To make the rear end look complete, along with the lights you can add LED reflectors, a spoiler, an exhaust tip, and a chrome package. See the full list of add-ons in the article which add-ons are worth adding to an LC200 facelift.
Summary
Standard lights are a good fit for an OEM look. Sequential versions make the vehicle more modern, and black lights — more aggressive. If you’re doing an LC200 facelift, it’s best to choose the rear lighting right away together with the headlights, body kit, and the vehicle’s overall style.
