Well boys and girls.. here's the scoop.. I've been able to secure a group buy price on the LED tail lamp's direct from Japan. The price will be $345 USD including one set left and right and airmail shipping direct to your door US/Canada. The package will be trackable, and insured.

(Translation: I'm poor, college just started, and if I lay off the junior bacon cheeseburgers I may have enough dough to get some JDM tails.)

[Yaris Yaba]

I suggest instant noodles for you. :drool:

[ChinoCharles]

C'MON PEOPLE, let's get our JDM tails and start rolling in style.

These aren't your typical Wal Mart clear tails for 91-2004 Civics....

Exactly! These are OEM parts, so for sure no fit and finish problem! Consider when getting a stock taillight will run you $200-300 EACH at the dealer, $345USD for A PAIR is a steal!

:thumbup:

We got 9 people! I guess it's a GO regardless? :)

[riceboy]

I'm not sure what the import taxes/duties/tariff are going to be... I'll find out once I get mine in the mail... Shipping is included in the purchase price.

[GabL]

From my experience, you will be paying GST 6%, PST 7% (in Ontario), and then 5% admin charge, which comes to roughly 20% if they charge you.

Per Revenue Canada, they will charge tax even on GIFTS that are over $60 declare value. So it would be nice if they can label the light at a lower price and maybe mark it as USED PARTS to lower the chance of being taxed, but I think that will effect the insurance? :frown:

[riceboy]

Yeah I asked about marking the parts used, but they advised me that it would affect the insurance because the value would be understated...

[Violin]

C'mon #10 - step up to the plate.

[GabL]

Japanparts.com is selling these lights for $350 + shipping ($39 to Toronto). So we're saving $39 right off!

[Violin]

Japanparts.com also adds a 'surcharge' that you don't see until well into the ordering process - at least for credit card purchases they do.

oh really! What kind of surcharge we're talking about? Coz I'm about to order the Vitz front badge and the console box from them...

[Violin]

It was about $10 (US) on my $142 order. For the $330 lights I want, the surcharge would be about $20. I guess it is based upon the credit card merchant charge?

You get a chance to review all charges before placing your order.

At any rate, they were great to deal with. My package made it to me in two days from Japan. I couldn't believe it.

hmm... so they charge you on the Credit card/paypal charge, which is 3% I read somewhere on the website I think. Thanks for the advise!

[riceboy]

I'm waiting to hear back from the supplier regarding the numbers... I'm toying with the idea of buying an extra set for my bro as a very early x-mas gift...

[Katana]

Wish I had a bro like u!

[Linkseal]

Linkseal should step up.

...#10 is calling you

Me already ordered from AJ before this GB started man:iono: ...and my set will arrive in 2 weeks.....sorry can't help ...but I am pretty sure this group buy will complete soon:headbang:

[riceboy]

Hey Everyone,

Well it's official the group buy is a GO! :thumbup: Now for payment details... for Canadian Residents you have the option of...

a) Email money transfer with $390.00 CAD - Please include funds password, delivery details, and contact info to albert.wong@sympatico.ca
b) Paypal payment of $345.00 USD - Please include delivery details and contact information to albert.wong@sympatico.ca

for US Residents...

a) Paypal payment of $345.00 USD (Violin, your payment will be $355.00 USD Modellista Tails) Please include delivery details and contact information to albert.wong@sympatico.ca

I'm hoping that all funds can be collected by the end of the long weekend, so that the total can be transfered to the supplier ASAP. Once I receive delivery confirmation I will send everyone individual details as to their packages.

maybe im missing something here... and i dont want to rain on anyone's parade.. but isnt this just a breaklight? $345??

what am i missing?

[Violin]

No he's right. They're just brake lights.

Once you start modifying a car, it gets to be a disease.

I figure that I'll be get some of the money back after a couple of people get rear ended though. Anyone want a lightly used stock tail lamp, PM me....

or just stop me on the highway - I'll be the one with the incredibly hot Yaris - the one with the cool tail lights.

[hasher22]

seriously i dont think the JDM tail lights are all that great... the stocked lights are better cuz they have that nice upside down L shape brake light to it. I recon that circle brake light enlarges the whole car

[argylesocks]

where are the backup lights?

[Violin]

You can see better here:

Where is my light now?? :P

[riceboy]

I think some of the remaining members may have gone away for the long weekend, I've sent PM's to them and I guess we'll just have to wait another day or two...

Special thanks to all the quick payments to date!:thumbsup:

[Violin]

My experience is that most people on these boards are slacking at work. The others will check in tomorrow.

[GabL]

Well, three of four remaining person are from other forum, I guess that's why?

Might take a trip to a Toyota dealership tomorrow to get the light side plug for a head start? lol

[riceboy]

Gabl - I'd hold off for a second.. teruyume is a toyota tech, he might be able to help us out with the install... in any case he'll probably be the best person to advise how to get them installed...

[GabL]

oh, thanks for the advice! But I guess we need the plug anyway? I don't want to solder the wire to the body side directly! :P

[tca4]

payment sent, riceboy check PM :)

Riceboy are you guys taking more order for the GB? I am very intrested...

You can take my spot if interested I don't own a Yaris anymore :cry:

[Jfoofoo]

You can take my spot if interested I don't own a Yaris anymore :cry:
Thanks... However I haven't made up my mind just yet. :confused:
Doing a little more research on this and waiting for Riceboy to respond.. than I will make a decision...

[GabL]

You can take my spot if interested I don't own a Yaris anymore :cry:

What happened there??

[YamilR]

What happened there??

I blew up a piston rod, was doing 75mph on the freeway when it happened :barf:

[Jfoofoo]

I blew up a piston rod, was doing 75mph on the freeway when it happened :barf:
Are you ok? I am guessing the car didn't make it? Does your insurance covers it?

[Jfoofoo]

I guess I won't be going for the tail lights first after all. After speaking with Chris07LB I think I will dish out $ for a nice set of HID first. Thanks

[GabL]

I blew up a piston rod, was doing 75mph on the freeway when it happened :barf:

That's just 120km/h, and the piston rod can't hold it??

[GabL]

So does this mean the GB is off then?
Since YamilR has withdrawn from the GB, what's going to happen next ...

yeah, are we still going for the GB?

[riceboy]

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late response.. was pretty busy at work today... Anyhow... I'm waiting to hear back from the supplier about the GB, but I've stressed that I have 7 confirmed buyers. So I'll know more a little later this evening.

Jfoofoo - If you want in let me know, we can accomodate as we have one buyer leaving... I know that you might want to pick up the hid's... but consider that w/ a gb you're getting a group discount. There'll be more in the future, but depending on the level of participants it may or may not go through....

:thumbdown: YamilR :thumbdown: - Shame on you...

1. You never responded to my PM's
2. In the yarisowners forum you said "Well guys my Yaris bit the dust yesterday, good thing we have the lemon law in Fl. A piston rod came out flying thru the fender, but Im waiting for a new one", so as far as I'm concerned one's on the way so you should stick to your word.

I'm still waiting to hear back from pinstarz and teruyume... I'm going to send off another reminder pm/email a little later.. In the meantime thanks to those who have paid, and please be patient as I finalize this GB.

It's still not too late to get in!!

[GabL]

Some inform on how to swap the stock taillight to JDM RS taillight (for those who can read Japanese), pretty good as it points out what wire is what, at least for the JDM vehicles.

http://www.k4.dion.ne.jp/~vitz/RStail.htm

[riceboy]

Great news!!! the supplier got back to me and said that since a large portion has already been confirmed that he'll honor the buy... he said that normally he'd either cancel it or up the pricing, but that he's interested in hooking us up for the potential business down the line... I told them that it's very much appreciated and advised that I should be sending them payment by tomorrow evening.

Why tomorrow?

Well I just rcv'd email from teruyume and he's advised me that I should be receiving payment by tomorrow 09/07/06.. Pinstarz hasn't replied to pm's, so I'll be extending the wait for her too.

Again, thanks for everyone's patience in this matter, and I promise that it'll be worth the wait!!!!

Oh and if anyone else wants to get in, by all means feel free to add your name to the list and send payment by tomorrow.

[Violin]

Great news!

Thanks for the update and the legwork.

[tca4]

Cool, thanks for the updating riceboy =D

If the vendor could lay their hands on that connector, we could all surely use one.

530 yen = $4.57 US.

Can anyone speak Japanese well enough to contact Kenbow (or whoever maintains that site) and find out how we could get those connectors?

Can anyone offer at least a rough translation? http://www.k4.dion.ne.jp/~vitz/RStail.htm

Actually one thing I can see from that page is that the LED taillight doesn't have the reflective plate, which might be required for North America regulation? So we might have to find some place to buy it and stick it on.

Actually we might be able to get riceboy to talk to his source to see if they can iinclude the plug for us as well! Part number will be "82824-52050" I assume? But again, this is the body side plug, so it will be another operation if you are to change back to the stock taillight afterward.

[riceboy]

I will send an email tonight and find out what the cost might be... I'll let you know tomorrow....

Thanks for the bonus info!!

[Violin]

Has anyone looked to see if our wiring has the same color scheme as the chart?

Bablefish translation:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1103/rjenkie/translatedLarge.jpg

[GabL]

The one thing to keep in mind, is that in NA, our chassis is NCP91, which is the RS classification in Japan...

But the body side plug is still not correct, as we are using non JDM RS taillight even though ours is NA RS. Also, we don't have the reflectors on our bumper as in the JDM RS, which we might need to find places to stick some aftermarket ones on! haha

[Violin]

The left side wire color scheme is the same on mine. I didn't bother looking at the right.

I wonder if we could get Hyde to take a photo of his connection.

I haven't pushed through the order yet because I'm waiting to hear back about the connectors.. I assume that everyone would like to wait for a response as, if there is interest you'd like them to be mailed out with the lights.

[Violin]

Yup.

:thumbsup:

[Violin]

Hah!

[ECHOKnight2000]

echo_hrs, are those JDM eyeballs? Are they interchangeable with most eyes? Where can I order them? How much?:laugh: :bellyroll: :bellyroll:


Great picture!:thumbsup:

[riceboy]

That killed me...

Ok so here's the scoop.. they don't know whether or not we need 1 or 2 connectors.. I'm assuming two because there are two tail lamps... the price for 2 will be $11USD... they will be shipped out with the tail lamps. I know it may be a lot to ask, but if everyone can transfer funds by tomorrow than I can transfer money, and the order will be done, done, done!

So same deal as before please send the $11USD via albert.wong@sympatico.ca to paypal, if paying in CAD please send $13CAD via email money transfer. If you're not interested in the connector, please let me know!

Thanks,

Albert

[GabL]

From Japan via express airmail, probably 1-2 weeks to the West Coast.

Probably about 2-3 weeks to Eastern Canada/US.

I love the West Coast ;)

Why the 1 week difference? It's just 4 hrs flight in between.

[riceboy]

1-3 weeks... 1 week is a little optimistic.. I think it'll drop in the 2-3 week range.. and I don't think there will be any difference from West Coast/East Coast locations.. or at least I hope not... since I'm in the East!

[Violin]

My last package from Japan (through Japan's Postal Service) arrived in just 2 days.

[GabL]

Hopefully the custom will be generous to us... finger crossed.

[Violin]

Wow! I got mine already.

I'm going to go install them now.

[riceboy]

are you kidding me???

[tca4]

Arhhh damn you Violin!! :P jk!~~ where is mine!!!!!

[riceboy]

riceboy,

I thought we would all get individual tracking #'s for our lights?
Anything for me?!

That's what I was advised.... I haven't received any tracking #'s, and wasn't even aware that the pieces were shipped out.. I'm hoping that Violin can confirm things......

[Violin]

I can.


Psyche!

[Teruyume]

OMG.......... i am so jealous now..... i want my JDM tail :P

[Violin]

Ummm...

[tomjasz]

I love the West Coast ;)

Known by some here as the "left coast"

[ItsMyDaily]

let me know on the next group buy. I'll be the first name on the list :thumbsup: .

[ChinoCharles]

Yeah I already know what I want for Christmas...

A spot on the next JDM tail GB list!

[Violin]

No kidding this time.

I got a call from the Post Office on my cell phone - the number I gave riceboy for my contact.

They said they have an Express Mail for me from an international address.

Will be delivered to my office tomorrow.

[riceboy]

Are you sure??? :confused:

[GabL]

Nice!

So riceboy, no tracking # for us?

[Violin]

Are you sure??? :confused:

99% sure. I'm not expecting any international shipments at my office except for them. I'll know tomorrow.

[riceboy]

Nothing yet,.. I'm still waiting to hear back about it...

[Violin]

Got them!!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1103/rjenkie/photo001Medium-1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1103/rjenkie/photo002Medium-1.jpg

Slight problem though. They lack the wiring harness pictured in the ones RoninMax got. The instructions (in Japanese) show you removing the harness from the stock headlights and using it on these. That would be great if I owned a Vitz RS.

I'll scan in the instructions and post them.

[Violin]

[Violin]

Tap..tap...tap...

Is this thing on?

[Violin]

I would have them installed already if I had the correct wiring harness. It's two bolts and a gentle tug to remove the tail light.

I hope I don't have to make a harness. The bulb holders are standard. I wonder where I could find the three pin connector for the LEDs (center hole in gasket).

[Violin]

It's also possible that the red tail lights come with the wiring like in RoninMax's photo.

If it's the same as the Canadian RS, I may have to ask a favor from one of you.

[RoninMax]

Sorry to say that, you purchased just the Lens only. The picture I post in the forum is the Tail Light Assy. means Len, light bulb, harness, everything to make it work. Now, you need to purshase the light bulb & harness to make it work. Let me check the part # and see how much it is cost. I hope everyone in this group buy buy the whole LED Assy. instead of Lens only.

[Violin]

Thanks Max. PM me when you find out.

I noticed that on japanparts.com lists mine as "CLEAR COMB.LAMP (REAR)" and the red ones as "JDM TAIL LAMP ASSY. L/R" .

"Assembly" might be the key word here.

[ItsMyDaily]

was just about to ask if the one japanparts sells is the complete kit with lens, bulb, harness. Anyone know??

[ChinoCharles]

Despite the obvious issues, those tails still look awesome. Can't wait to see them on! (No more than you can't wait I'm sure Violin!)

[GabL]

These lenses are an upgrade for the JDM RS, which comes standard with the LED clusters the rest of us bought, so I assume the rest of us will get the bulbs and connectors included...

Cheers

Finger crossed.

[ItsMyDaily]

Why not email them directly?

actually i did, but they may take some time to answer. I thought I'd check to see if anyone here new :wink:

[ItsMyDaily]

Violens tails look different to me for some reason. Aren't the JDM tails all red?? Or maybe I've been seeing them wrong this whole time.

[Violin]

The JDM tails are red.

Mine are cooler.

[ItsMyDaily]

The JDM tails are red.

Mine are cooler.

:laugh: good answer.

[riceboy]

Imagine my surprise to get home, check yarisworld.com and see that 3 pages have been added to this thread. Right now I'm in the process of getting everything straightened out as I was under the impression that we would be receiving complete assemblies. As soon as I have more information I will update everyone. Please feel free to PM if you have any further questions or concerns.

[riceboy]

No word back yet.. since it's night time over there I'll wait until this evening to touch base with them again.

[Violin]

Has anyone given any thought to reflectors to make up for the loss of the built-in reflectors in the stock tails?

I'm thinking that the mini cooper fender arch reflectors for the side and 4 or six small reflectors along the top of the hatch (above the window) would look best. Perhaps a couple of ~1"x4" next to the license plate?

Those are not just reflector. They are reflector housing.
So if you going to use it, you need to drill a hole on your bumper.

[riceboy]

Guys should have news within the next 48hrs....

[Violin]

Those are not just reflector. They are reflector housing.
So if you going to use it, you need to drill a hole on your bumper.

Even if they mount with posts (which is likely), I could cut them off and affix with adhesive.

My concern is that if someone plows into my parked car and leaves, an alert insurance inspector may deny the claim if I don't have reflectors.

[ItsMyDaily]

:thumbup: I finally got a reply from japanparts.com about there taillight assy. this was their response...


Thank you for your inquiry.
Actually our business style is when we receive order form from the customer,
we would order the parts to manufactured company.
In other words, we do not have any parts in our office.
So we can not confirm whether JDM tail lamp assy is included.
Sorry about it.

Just posting for anyone that may be curious.

actually i did, but they may take some time to answer. I thought I'd check to see if anyone here new :wink:

[riceboy]

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the delay, I know its taken some time but I've got some answers. Unfortunately the supplier never clarified that the wiring harnesses would not come included with the assemblies.

The standard JDM tails will come with bulbs/bulb holders, some orders have been shipped out and tracking numbers have been sent out, more tracking numbers to follow....

The wiring harnesses for the JDM tails will run 45.00USD for the set, I'm thinking that perhaps we should wait until we receive the lights to see what can be worked out before spending the extra $$$'s.

[tca4]

So......What are the tracking #s for anyways??

[Violin]

So what about our previous payment for "connectors" ?

Will we still be getting them with the lights?

I got them with mine - see the photos - just nothing to connect them to.




If all else fails, I may make something on my own.

The connector for the LED's is similar to a connector for a computer fan - that could be modified and secured. The bulb holders are very close to my present stop/tail holder, a slight trimming would probably get this to work. I could order four through my dealer. I'm not sure if there is an amber wedge style bulb that would fit through the hole though. Connectors for the wiring could be a computer item as well.

I'd still like the stock item though, even if it means waiting.

[Violin]

If someone could take a close-up photo of the bulb/bulb holders with a clear view of the wiring, it would help me greatly if I have to make my own.

[riceboy]

Connectors are included in the packages. Tracking #'s are for the lights your ordered!

[riceboy]

Violin please check PM's, if you want I'll take pics once my tails arrive....

[Violin]

Don't worry about the pics.

Thanks again for your work on this.

I can't wait to get these things on my car!

[Teruyume]

i've got my tracking number, THX riceboy ^___________^

Yeah, I agree, Hyde told me it only took less than 30 mins to modify the USDM plug to fit the JDM LED tailight, Basically just Cut and Paste...Same process as doing the JDM Honda Fit LED tailight...

[Violin]

I figure I have about a 10 day wait for the parts I need. I hope I still beat the Canadians.

[Violin]

Based upon this, I don't really see how the wiring harness will be seperate from the bulb holders. You guys might be wise to hold off on ordering anything else, especially looking at the photos of RoninMax's lights.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1103/rjenkie/diagram.jpg

I'll probably wind up with spare parts but that sure beats too few.

[ism3t]

:headbang: this wait is killing me!!! good thing i have all my ice done hehe, love the ride now.

[Kitt]

too bad i can't use them in my car...:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[riceboy]

So I guess the race is on for the first post in the official JDM Vitz LED Tail Lamp photo section.............

[GabL]

No tracking number yet still...

edit: Got the tracking numbers, thanks riceboy. But nothing showing on the Purolator website yet...

[tca4]

Same here got tracking # but nothing showing on the Purolator website too

[GabL]

ok, my shipment is "International shipment has left the origin country and is en route to Canada".

However, I got two tracking number? Are they shipping the two (LH and RH) lights seperately?

[tca4]

So what other fee do we have to pay when they arrive at my door?

[tca4]

cool thanks for the detail explaination :)

[riceboy]

Me Too, I would expect they are seperate because package size and weight affects cost considerably...

Cheers

I believe this is why they are shipped as two pieces.. sorry for any confusion!

[Violin]

I can't believe you guys get taxed on this.

You should really just give up on this whole pipe dream of maintaining a separate country and join us.

[riceboy]

I can't believe you guys get taxed on this.

You should really just give up on this whole pipe dream of maintaining a separate country and join us.

Yup, its sucky but it helps to take care of a lot of things that you guys pay for otherwise....

[Violin]

:laugh: You guys are too easy.

Besides, if we absorbed you, we wouldn't be able to say we were Canadian when we travel overseas.

ha i was about to "chrome" my door handles......or blacken it, but u guys said no lol......guess greeny vitz here beat me to it hey

[tca4]

Don't know which wire connects to which ports.....lost =( can't install today

[riceboy]

Damn the west coast!

[Violin]

I believe the shop manual shows how to release the pins from the connector - but I may be wrong. That would beat cutting the wires.

[tca4]

Hmm a little confuse.. maybe someone with a DIY writeup would be excellent :D

[GabL]

A hair clip (those tiny black ones) will do the job of removing the pin from the connector!

Your wife/gf/whatever should have one. :)

So all the harness, bulbs and connectors are in the package ready to go? Just have to reconnect them? That sounds easy!! Waiting for some pics!

[tca4]

So is connector that came with the tails the one that we order for $15?

[Linkseal]

My friend's VITZ in HK with close look at LED tail...

hahaha, what are you trying to say there? Your hair isn't that long! :tongue:

Yep it's gonna happen today..
I'm going to install ONE tail light (left).

Will post photos of my half ass job later.

Can't wait to see ur pic and installation....:clap:

Molex Pin Removal:
http://www.gruntville.com/howtos/psu_sleeve/page6.php

http://www.hardwarelogic.com/articles/guides/Wiring_Guide/fig22.jpg

You should be able to find the removal tool at Radio Shack/Comp USA/similar.

[GabL]

Just have to make sure it's small enough for the pins used for the Yaris.

But for us getting the RS LED tail, we don't have to replace the pins right? Just have to take it out and plug into the new connector?

[w1ngzer0]

Wow, those tail lights look 10x better then the stocker one.

[Violin]

You should be able to find the removal tool at Radio Shack/Comp USA/similar.

Not! The guys at Comp USA looked at me like I was making shit up.

I did run into a licensed electrician at Radio Shack who directed me to an electrical supply house or alarm supply place.

[riceboy]

Yep it's gonna happen today..
I'm going to install ONE tail light (left).

Will post photos of my half ass job later.

Make sure to post it in the "Official half ass one JDM RS Tail Light Installation" thread in the photos section.... :biggrin:

[tca4]

Alright I am going to try installing tomorrow too

[eTiMaGo]

Word of caution regarding molex extractors/removal tools:

- Make sure the tool you purchase can remove SMALL pins
- Standard molex extractors for computer molexes will not work because the pin inside the Yaris molex is too small
- The molex extractor must be able to fit over the female pin entirely so that it can push the clips down

I think I'm going to destroy the stock molex plug with a razor blade and knife and extract them the sloppy way.

Updates to follow...

Dude, try a paperclip, works best for me on computer molex plugs, you should be able to squeeze it between the plastic and the pin, and shove the tab down.

[Violin]

I haven't looked... are the pins round or square?


I'm taking the connector I got from japan for fit and going by an electrical supply house this morning.

We might need to save our stock lights (and connectors) for inspection.

[Violin]

Think this would work?

http://eforworld.com/Ebay/Power_Supply_Modding/tools/ZUAC_045_1g.jpg

The electrical supply house didn't have one and the alarm supply shop only sells to the trades. I could have built my own space shuttle easier than getting all the parts I need to install these lights.

[GabL]

Well they're in , just not wired...

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/echo_hrs3/RS_oj.jpg

Cheers

Nice!!! Did you need to pay any tax on the shipment?

[ChinoCharles]

Oh god those are pretty.

[Teruyume]

Yeah hey got my JDM tail ^_____________^

[GabL]

Yeah hey got my JDM tail ^_____________^

That's awesome!! How was the installation? Mind doing a walk through to us?

[Violin]

Too late. He's gone cruising.

[Violin]

Pins are square at the head (female), but round around the stripped wire.

Thanks - I already looked at mine.

Like this right? http://www.action-electronics.com/grc/minifit2.gif

Do you think that tool I posted earlier will do the trick?

[Teruyume]

i didn't used any tool to take out the wires i just used sidecutter and destory the old connector lol...........

the rest of the stuff is easy just plug into the correct hole and plug into the light

[Teruyume]

oh yeah by the way did u guys got tax on the lights, i have to pay CA$91.04 for both lights

[GabL]

Sounds right.

I paid $44.05 for the left side.
Still waiting for customs to release the right side to CanadaPost so they can deliver it.

In fact, we had to pay a total of $16 for handling fee for this EMS shipment... :mad:

Revenue Canada is making good money on this group buy! :mad:

[Violin]

The offer still stands on joining the Union.
:biggrin:

[riceboy]

Looks wicked, I'm so jealous......... I wish I had an Orange Copper Mica so that my tails would already be installed too....

[GabL]

Okay guys, had a long discussion with Canada Customs, and my RIGHT SIDE tail light is now released to Canada Post for sortation.

Hopefully I'll get my tails by Thursday afternoon, and installed by Friday.
WOO!

What was the discussion about? Maybe I should talk to them a bit too since I still didn't get my lights!!!

[riceboy]

Alright, where to begin.....

First of all, a BIG HUGE THANK YOU to TERUYUME!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: For coming out late at night to set the record for tail lamp install at under 20 minutes!!! Check the second picture for the now totally destroyed stock connectors... (kinda blurry)

One thing I have to say is that I never really knew how good they would really look until they were installed.... they are amazing.... makes the car so much nicer.... you'll see in the small details with how the lines of the car finish off in the rear... and how the LEDs just give the car a much sportier and elegant look...

For those who are still waiting on their orders, please let me know if you don't receive by next week. I know that some of you have been experiencing delays, and I apologize for this, however its in the hands of customs.... so please be patient.....

As soon as everyone receives there lights and bulbs/bulbholders/wiringharnesses (Violin), we can officially shut down this thread.. In the meantime.. enjoy the pics.. and I can't wait to see more pics of installed lights as they're completed.

PS There's no shame in checking out the ass of another Yaris when it has JDM Tails... it's mesmerizing....

[eTiMaGo]

bigsky2, your car... it's winking at me!

http://members.shaw.ca/bigsky2/JDM/DSC_3258.jpg

[tca4]

Okay i guess i am going to post my pics up too! here you guys go! sorry for poor quality pics =)

[eTiMaGo]

Haha, I didn't notice that until you pointed it out.

Maybe it wants you to get a set for yourself (remember, TWO tail lights not use one) :wink:

Local parts shop's got them, about $250 per pair including wiring harness ;) They also have the ones with the grey sides (the ribbed looking area), but quite a bit more more expensive. I'm not sure which ones I'll end up getting :biggrin:

[GabL]

Ready for pickup, will get them tomorrow night!! Good long weekend project!! hehe

Taxes on them are $45 and $42 respectively... dunno why the difference.

[GabL]

bigsky2's Half Ass JDM Tail Light Install (with PICS!)

So I bit the bullet and decided to install the ONE tail light I did receive.

Hey bigsky, the pics doesn't work?

Edit: ok, it's working now...

[riceboy]

tca4 looks good...

Note: The remaining two sets of tails have been shipped out, please check emails for tracking numbers.

[ism3t]

still waiting on a tracking number and/or my taillights, but everyone elses look amazing!

[ECHOKnight2000]

Wow! Looking really good guys! So the people who got their JDM lights, what are they doing with the original ones? Anyway great pictures!

[FoEKuZ]

those lights are sick!!! im jealous!!! :clap: :bow:

[riceboy]

Put mine in the Toyota boxes my JDM tails came in, for now I'll just keep them in the garage...I can't imagine much of a market for these unless someone needs a replacement or wants to experiment with smoking the lenses or whatnot...

Cheers

They do have the non RS taillights there in Japan... :redface:
