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!

Where are your lights right now?
Are they still with Canada Post, or have they been transferred to Customs?

I was told that it takes anywhere from 1-5 business days for Canada Customs to process inbound mail that is commercial in nature.

That looks beautiful echo_hrs..

It really matches the Orange colour VERY well.

riceboy · 10-04-2006, 11:19 PM

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

GabL · 10-05-2006, 09:40 AM

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.

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.

Here are some photos:

Hey bigsky, the pics doesn't work?

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

Tips for removal of female molex pins from stock molex plug (body side):

- Look for the side that has a panel that locks together using offset teeth ** Thanks echo_hrs for making note of this "panel" that can be lifted off
- Pry this off with a flat head, micro screwdriver works best
- Use the flat head to pull up the plastic tab that holds the pin in place, and pull gently at the same time
- Repat for all 5 wires

Patiently waiting for the right side.

Yes I know it looks a little stupid, but I'm cool that way.

riceboy · 10-05-2006, 03:20 AM

Alright, where to begin.....

First of all, a BIG HUGE THANK YOU to TERUYUME!!!!!

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....

bigsky2 · 10-05-2006, 03:24 AM

That's rice baby, that's rice.

eTiMaGo · 10-05-2006, 04:35 AM

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

bigsky2 · 10-05-2006, 04:52 AM

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)

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

tca4 · 10-05-2006, 05:18 AM

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

riceboy · 10-05-2006, 10:55 AM

tca4 looks good...

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

ism3t · 10-05-2006, 02:23 PM
