3rd Gen Vitz RS (and G's) Tail Lights: Part Numbers, Ordering, and Installation
Unlike the 2nd Gen Yarii, our 3rd Gen's are very limited in the tail lights available to us - there's the USDM L/LE tails, USDM SE tails, the Euro Hybrid tails, the JDM Vitz RS, and Vitz RS G's tails. As such, I've been very interested in getting a set of RS or G's tails out of Japan for a reasonable (read: not $900 dollars or $1000 shipped from a guy on eBay) price since I first saw them during the 2012 reveal.
Here on YarisWorld we've had the part numbers and speculation that the RS/G's lights would fit but no one has been able to verify the accuracy due to the cost involved. Thanks to a great contact from another car group/community I have been able to order/import a set of G's tails and want to make a clear guide for other 3G Yaris owners to use. So, there's two ways to go about acquiring the lights - purchase the complete light assembly from Toyota (those part numbers are below in orange) or buying the necessary parts separately and then assembling the light yourself; the problem with the first method is that if you're special ordering these parts, as I was, you need to be 100% certain that you're buying the right stuff - there's no returning the "wrong" part to Toyota Japan (or Toyota USA come to think about it...) - whereas me buying each piece individually meant less chance of incorrect ordered parts = less money wasted. Complete Vitz RS RH Tail Light Assembly 81550-52840 Complete Vitz RS LH Tail Light Assembly 81560-52780 Official Parts List (Or What You Need to Buy If You Can't Order the Whole Light) JDM Driver's / USDM Passenger Tail Light
JDM Passenger / USDM Driver's Tail Light
All numbers in the above list correspond to the same number on the exploded view of the tail light (image has been edited from Toyodiy.com - a great reference for Toyota part numbers!). Italicized numbers are the list price for each part - gathered through Toyodiy or Internet vendors - and colored numbers are what I actually paid; red numbers are Toyota Japan price (through my contact/broker), blue numbers are Conicelli Toyota (http://www.toyotapartznet.com) prices - you maybe able to get these cheaper at your local dealership - I was not, and green is what I paid at O'Reilly's. All prices are before shipping which will vary depending on your location. The Assembly Line: Putting it All Together Now that you've got all of the parts ordered and in front of you like so... ...it's time to make your light!
Alright, so now comes the part where we install these bad boys... well, when I post the second part this evening after I take pictures of the remaining steps. If there are any questions please post them!
