GROUP BUY - JDM (RS) Vitz LED Tail Lamp ...

[Violin]

I do think they'll look especially good on my silver car... but you all do still suck.

[GabL]

Just a question, is the direction from the Japanese site regarding the wire color connection correct? So basically I just follow the color chart there and there should be no problem at all? Thanks.

[Kitt]

Guys that looks nice, I wish I could add something like that to my 2ND gen Yaris... there is almost no addon available for my car... Damn!

[GabL]

Got mine installed as well, but need to wash the car before taking pictures. The old lights are a bit tough to pull out. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! :)

Thanks riceboy for organizing the GB!!

ok, here is the picture:

[hasher22]

soooo.....whos the 1st thats gonna smoke their new tail lights?

[riceboy]

Looking good.... Happy Thanksgiving to everyone as well....

[eTiMaGo]

gosh darn golly those are nice!

[hasher22]

Hell no to smoking, the red is HOT.

Red Tailights = ewwww ...i rather have pink tinted tailights....

mmmmm smoked jdm tail lights....

[eTiMaGo]

Ona related note to LED taillights, I've been looking around various peoples' cars here, but it seems you all only have bulbs for the brake lights? Over here we have a small built-in LED array instead:

Anyone else have them? Australia? Indonesia?

[hasher22]

I'll hold you to that buddy, let's see those pink tail lights ok?

HAHA sure y not...though damn illigal in aust...but if it was legal in aust ill tint them pink for ya.....or celefane it, if thats how you spelt it.

But ummm i said pink becuz ive seen some concept models with pink tail lights??

found it

[riceboy]

eTiMago - are you sure you those are OEM pieces? from what I understand there are replica tails floating around in Asia already....

[eTiMaGo]

Yup, 100% OEM, all Yarii are like this here :wink:

[Violin]

Toyota hates us.

[riceboy]

You don't need to remove much to take the lights out. There's a small plastic cover with vent inside the trunk on both side. Take it off and you'll see the taillight from inside. There are two bolts and one snap pin holding the taillight in place. Unscrew the two nuts, and give the light a hard pull, then it'll come off. Have fun!

very nice... can't wait to see the final product!

[Violin]

I just put them in out in the parking lot of my office building. My coworkers think I'm nuts. (Nothing new there.)

They sure look beautiful.

I'll get some photos later.

Question about the JDM Vitz RS Tail Lights...

What are the bulb sizes for the Turn Signal and Backup Light?

Are they 7507A and 7507?
Same spec as the regular tail light?


7440

[riceboy]

We demand pics!!!!

[Ric n Sov's Vitz RS]

Hey all kinda new here been lurking for a while.. But not new to Toyota cars...I was just wondering where riceboy got the deal from cause when I was looking to buy these I came across this.. which is a about 20.00 cheaper I think..

http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?dealer=2&car=124&middle=2&small=20

Any difference?

=Rick

[Violin]

No difference. Those are the same lights.

You have to add shipping and 'surcharge' to arrive at the total price. japanparts.com adds a surcharge to offset PayPal or credit card company charges.

They are however a very good supplier with a ton of cool stuff for our cars.

niiiiice!!

very different from the normal JDM lights, and your whole car has this understated, yet sleek look...

[Violin]

Many thanks to riceboy for organizing this group buy.

You guys have no idea what went on below the surface for him to get the missing parts for my tails. It’s easy to come out looking good when everything goes as planned. Here something completely unexpected cropped up and he made numerous calls/emails on my behalf. I’m glad I wasn’t the one dealing directly with the supplier because of the language barrier.

It wasn’t easy sending a good chunk of money off to a stranger but I wouldn’t have any second thoughts about participating in any further group buys that riceboy organizes.

:clap: :thumbup: :clap:

[Teruyume]

Yeah, ur tail looks awsome !!!!! and i m so agree riceboy is a nice guy ^____^

[ChinoCharles]

Holy shit! SWEEEEEET man!

[ECHOKnight2000]

Very nice lights Violin! It really goes well with the color of your car.:bow:

[riceboy]

Violin,

Looks amazing!!! wow... I'm kinda upset that I didn't go with the same tails... though I think the color of the lights work better with your car.. not sure if it'd look the same on white..

Thanks to everyone who participated as well.. I'm glad that this gb is officially done!!

[ism3t]

man those look so nice on the blue! well done sir! great choice!~

[MrMondayNite]

Violin
Looks awesome, I wanna go with the JDM Tails aswell, but I'm a little concerned with passing inspection with no reflectors. How hard would it be to swap back to stock to pass inspection.

[GabL]

Violin, good choice of getting the Modellista tail, match perfectly with the Silver car!

[Violin]

I'm thinking I'll take mine to a private garage when the time comes. Maybe I'll slap on a couple of stick-on reflectors for the day. I won't be able to get through the state inspection with the front window tints anyway.

[GabL]

Nice, didn't notice the shark fin before! The car looks like one of those high end ones! :)

[riceboy]

I think that the led tails beef up the rear end and really add some refinement to the overall look.. i know i'm biased but I think that it makes a huge difference!!!

[Violin]

They do.

A guy in an Infiniti G35 passed me yesterday and turned green with envy.

I watched him get out of the car and start kicking his tail lights.

Honest!

[funkstrong]

Man those look great. I think if you added the stock rear lip there it would look even better. Whats the first little spoiler/bump on your roof there?

[Violin]

Thanks.

Sunroof spoiler.

[riceboy]

LED envy.... lol... you don't see them on too many vehicles.. especially on a little yaris....

Infiniti drivers kill me sometimes... they roll around pretending they're driving a 3 series.. and whoops there goes a little economy car with the same tails and they get their panties all in a bunch...

boo hoo hoo... I love it.. and as ppl have said before.. its amazing that in the whole of NA there are only a handfull of us who have these tails!!

[eTiMaGo]

Nice, didn't notice the shark fin before! The car looks like one of those high end ones! :)

Yes... all it now needs is a Lexus badge on the back instead of the toyota emblem... and maybe a YS150 badge on the right side? Confuse the hell out of people! :biggrin:

[hasher22]

Yes... all it now needs is a Lexus badge on the back instead of the toyota emblem... and maybe a YS150 badge on the right side? Confuse the hell out of people! :biggrin:

you so should do that! people already think my car is a toyota chinky.....wtf? lol i really need to take that off...lol.....

[Violin]

Haha - well... there are quite a few Lexus badges on eBay...

[eTiMaGo]

Just got mine yesterday, looks goood.... but... I might just try to crack them open and paint the non-reflective parts black, testing it out in photoshop looks pretty badass:

http://www.ifrance.com/etimago/yaris/blacktails.jpg

Whaddaya'll think?

[hasher22]

Is it me or ur tail lights are darker?

[Violin]

Whaddaya'll think?

No - don't do it.

[eTiMaGo]

Is it me or ur tail lights are darker?

read above: "testing it out in photoshop" :biggrin:

Violin, what makes you say no?

[hasher22]

Well you car, do whatever u want. If your gonna smoke em then i suggest some those little reflector thingys on ur rear bumper too......just to make it look even

[Violin]

I think it would ruin the look. Maybe a very light smoking, but I think they're beautiful as is.

[ChinoCharles]

My vote... do it.

[ChinoCharles]

I'm sorry man! Just think about it... you see a Yaris driving along during the day with black tails and BOOYAH, he hits the brakes and reveals those sexy hidden LED circles... ohhhh man if I was graduated from college and working already, I'd have these bitches on the boat and some vinyl in the mail!

[ChinoCharles]

Pssshh tell me about it...

But yeah, meteorite metallic liftback, dark tint, headlight eyebrows, smoked fog lights, smoked JDM tails, black painted badges... you know where I'm going with this, haha.

[hasher22]

Smokin is hot......aka. Black tail lights are hot...better than that red crap..

my opinion...

[eTiMaGo]

hmmm I'm not sure if you guys understood my intentions, I do not mean smoking as in a vinyl film over the tail light cover, but opening the assembly and painting non-reflective parts black, as done for headlights by hasher22 and other members. Kinda like the modelista lights Violin has, but with the silver parts in black. With the same thing done to the headlights, it would seem a winning combination :biggrin:

[riceboy]

i say leave 'em alone they didn't do anything to you!

[eTiMaGo]

mmmkay then.. I'll have to go out and stare at the back of my car some more, visualize it and decide for myself, I guess :wink:

[hasher22]

mmmkay then.. I'll have to go out and stare at the back of my car some more, visualize it and decide for myself, I guess :wink:


Hmmm i thaught your gonna tint/spray smoke it.

Well i dont really know if thats a good idea to paint the inside black cuz your taillight housing has a red tint right? And its not like this hey?

http://toyota.jp/vitz/dop/package/image/c02-p01.jpg

Cuz that one has the clear plastic thing and its not red. So if u had them i would say go for it ;)

But hey if u wanna do it go for gold!! But i recon you will just see black under the red tinting.......

[eTiMaGo]

OK well the plastic is tinted red, except for two circles over the lights, which are clear. So painting the insides would still have a red tint through the plastic... Damn, if only I had an extra pair of these just to try it out :biggrin:

[Violin]

I understood what you meant but I wouldn't do it if it were my car. We all have different ideal pictures of our cars in our head though.

[eTiMaGo]

Yeah i guess it is all down to a matter of taste... I just have in my head the concept of a balance between painted headlights and painted taillights. Now as to whether I will attempt either of those, who knows....

[hasher22]

I recon you should paint your headlights White and Red.............thats just me cuz i was about to paint all my badges white and recolour the black of my headlights white.

But i was thinking in the long run i wanted chrome and black rims so i stuck with the chromies.

[eTiMaGo]

Well front lights I've thought about it quite a bit more, either black or dark grey. Putting a layer of carbon fiber instead would just be awesome but I would not know where to start :biggrin:

[hasher22]

you can start by painting it red and white lol..............

These are the wheels i want, though i really want to make the badges white not really chrome. (i think im gettin over chrome) So i prob go down to my local repair shop and tell them to recolour the chrome parts white!! so i will have black and white rims :)

ummm... down to the local parking lot to hang out with the other kids with riced-out cars?? :)

[ChinoCharles]

Riced out is a giant wing, or those altezza lights, or a body kit that has more scoops than Baskin Robbins. I'm just not into the whole silver/chrome thing going on... I'd rather have a silver car with black accents.

Don't worry though... I wont take offense to anything coming from someone that can't appreciate steak, or is trying to rip the boards off on an overpriced sub and amp...

come on.. where's your sense of humor? im just fuckin with ya.

as for the steak comment. very original. bravo. i have heard that shit for the past 12 years... you gotta come up with something better than that to get me to laugh.

as for the amp/sub, i put it in the CLASSIFIEDS. thats what CLASSIFIEDS are for. im not trying to rip anyone off. there is this thing called economics. maybe you will learn about it in high school. anyways. if someone wants it, then it will sell, if i am asking too much, then it will either sit there, or i reduce my price (which i did). obviously my starting price was too high.. .but thats certainly not 'trying to rip anyone off'... i honestly thought it would sell for that.

as for the lights, they're cool. but no way in hell i would pay that much money for them. to each their own. you would probably think im crazy for how much i spend on my bicycles..

[eco]

Whens the last time you got some ass riding on a bike,Id rather spend money on my car,and I woulda got in on this GB,but it wasnt for the sedan.
And man,noone is going to buy n amp thats been ragged out for several years,and a sub that is sub-par.Throw in your car,and Ill think about it :thumbsup:

[ChinoCharles]

I know I know... the steak comment was cliche. However, I am a full time grill cook at a Country Club, so it comes natural. Here's one for ya... 6 ounces of filet mignon dripping in lobster butter.

Just a heads up for all you guys that would love to buy the JDM RS LED tails. It will require a complete re-wire in order to work with your car. The plug that came with the LED taillights will not plug in to your existing wiring haress for the factory taillamp. Not to mention, when I hook mine up when u put into reverse both signal lamp will stay on. I've tried many times to fix the problem But there seems to be no luck at all. I am not trying sway you guys away from this GB. However, just wants u guys to consider before getting it. :thumbsup:

[skc]

i guess everyone already got their JDM taillamp..looks good

is there gonna be another GroupBuy JDM taillamp?

[Violin]

Mine work perfectly too. You got the wiring wrong, that's all.

Good luck.

This is the page big2sky is referring to: http://www.k4.dion.ne.jp/~vitz/RStail.htm

Make sure you have the body side plug, which also shown on the bottom of the page, then swap the plug and connect the wires in proper order, plug into the LED, then there you go!

Have the LED installed for about a month and no problem at all. Got my neighbor to verify the lights for me when he was passing by, all lights working fine.

Even if you don't have the JDM plug, you can just put all the wires out from the old one, then plug the wires directly to the LED. They shouldn't come out easy even without the plug. I assume you just have some wrong connection so your lights are screwed up.

Let us know how it goes!

I bought my JDM taillights from BoomPlusToys for about the same price as the group buy. Check out the vendors' section for their thread.

[MrMondayNite]

Hey guys I need a HELP installing the JDM Tails. I've searched this thread, but I'm still a little confused:iono: . Right now I'm working on the drivers side tail. I already have the wires out of the connector, had to destory connector lost my patience:mad: . If one of you guys could just post a picture of the wiring of your connector, that would really help me out:thumbup: . If not can someone look at there connectors and tell me exactly where each wire goes in the connector. I just dont want to experiment with the wiring to find out where to put the wires, when I can't seperate them from the connector. Thanks in advance for your help.

Not legal in the USA without the side reflectors.

[Ric n Sov's Vitz RS]

Finally ordered mine today!!! So excited!!!



-Rick

[Doc Zaius]

Nice, man! :thumbsup:

My only complaint about mine is that I don't see them in operation!!! :biggrin:

[acdaazn]

Hmm.... after looking at so many pages, can someone with the red RS-LED tails confirm the existence of reflectors, because from looking at bigsky2's picture on page 23, it seems like there are reflectors on the side of the lamp.
Could someone get a flashlight and flash it to make sure, please??

[Doc Zaius]

No refelctors. The reflectors are built into the bumper of the JDM RS (and EDM TS)... just like the pic in your sig. So with our bumper, to be perfectly legal here, retroreflectors should be stuck onto the car. :barf:

[Sway84]

so wait, for us canadians, we needa put reflectors on the bumpers for it to be legal? cause ive got the 4 door regular edition and not the rs adn i want the tails

[Doc Zaius]

Sway... ya. Not even the Canadian RS has the reflectors in the bumper... its only the Japanese RS that does. So right now, I'm not legal since I have no reflectors at the rear of my car. However, I've been followed by cops a couple times at night, and no problem. :thumbsup:

(Yet!) :biggrin:

[uncleyaris]

Finally ordered mine today!!! So excited!!!



-Rick

congrats!, where you order from? PM for price you paid (CDN dollar strong.wanna know if different since I bought)

[cali yaris]

can I still get in on this?

[GabL]

There are no reflectors on the JDM RS tail lights as people have pointed out.

I haven't had any problems with them since October '06.

Good luck guys!

Same here, just make sure you have your lights on always, then you won't have any problem. You would like to show the LED to other people anyway! haha

Have fun with the new lights!

[GabL]

can I still get in on this?

You're 10 months too late for the group buy, but you can still get it from the Yaris vendor individually, check the Marketplace section.

[uncleyaris]

I'm gonna PM you when my lights arrive(july4 or so) to help with install, GabL

from memory, I think that pic was from violin. It was the kit to complte his tails which didnn't come complete.

[Violin]

Both cords are the same.

[JosephDoc]

Hmm... by looking at the fuzzy image of the rear part number, it is hard to believe that the rear one has the same part number as the front one.
Violin, are you sure both set are the same? (I know the wire set for USDM o/e pair has different part numbers...)

I just got my JDM tail light set but it does not come those wires+sockets... I am glad I actually can see your picture of the wires.

Please let me know, thanks again! :thumbsup:

[Violin]

Sorry I don't still have the empty packages after 8 months so I can take another picture for you. http://nikeardilla.rileks.com/images/emoticons/aaa_TheFinger.gif I posted that photo so people could use it for reference.

The cords are the same. I even went out to my car and popped the access covers off to take a look. The numbers on them are the same on both sides.

[JosephDoc]

Violin, you are my hero~~ :thumbsup:

Thanks bro!

[uncleyaris]

I promise to post pics soon; I got my tails and everyone who has them is right, they are nicer in person. I can't believe how nice they look.

Pics redyaris!!

Violin I got the Red, I think the Mod's you got look the best on silver/black,IMO. We have a meet tonight here in Toronto, and I'm sure the Pics will be posted tommorow in the regional Canada section.

Like I said I think I'm the first Bayou to get them.
