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.

The JDM tails are red.

Mine are cooler.

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.

Thanks for taking care this for us.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 · 09-29-2006, 03:40 AM

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

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 · 09-29-2006, 06:16 AM

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 · 09-29-2006, 09:52 AM

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