Magnesium-Alloy Tail Light Guards for the LC250 — What Do You Think?

[ninthx.com]

Hi everyone,

We’ve been working on a set of tail light guards for the 2024+ Toyota Land Cruiser 250 / Prado, and I wanted to share the finished design with the community.

The LC250’s rear lights are fairly exposed, especially around branches, brush, loading areas, and tight trails. These guards are designed to add a layer of protection against light impacts, scratches, and trail debris while giving the rear of the vehicle a more rugged, expedition-style appearance.

A few details:

• Lightweight magnesium-alloy construction
• Vehicle-specific fit for the LC250 / Prado 250
• Open-frame design intended to preserve brake, turn-signal, and tail-light visibility
• No drilling or permanent body modification required
• Black finish designed to complement the factory rear trim
• Supplied as a left-and-right pair

These are intended as practical lens guards rather than structural armor, so we want to be realistic about their purpose. For us, the goal was to balance everyday protection, clean fitment, and styling without making the rear of the LC250 look overly bulky.

I’d be interested to hear what LC250 owners think:

Would you run a set like this on your build? Do you prefer the rugged look, or would you keep the factory tail lights completely clean?
