if yours are original, judging by the age of the car if its the one in your avatar, I'd stick with them..
Its not as though there are high or low performance glowplug..

toyota want a crapload for the genuine glow plugs
I ended up getting a set of NGK ones from repco when they had a 25% off sale. havent had a problem with them.
edit: actually they are Bosch, from repco. They are normally $20ea but with a 25% off sale they often have they were only $15ea
toyota want $44ea last time i priced them.
