2008 Yaris sedan - replacement tail lights? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Herbicidal · 04-10-2016, 11:14 PM

I originally tinted the tail lights with a film from Lamin-X. Now (after I don't remember how many years) the film is shrinking and wrinkling. Not the look I'm after. So, I want to replace them entirely. Here are a couple of options that I like:

#1. However, I can't seem to find much additional info about them, like quality.

#2. Not bad, but I like#1 better.

#3. Similar to #2.

#4. Same as #1? I can't really tell from the pictures.

Opinions? Go with #2 since they appear to be the most "legit" and a name brand? Other options I may have missed? I'm partial to the "smoked" tails.

Thanks!

For your color car, #1 would look good. 1 and 4 are same design. 2 and 3 are same design.
The thing with all aftermarket led tails like the ones you posted is that some of the the leds may sometimes die after several months. Cant be helped.

Thanks Yarisugi for the comments. Still don't know what I'm going to do.

For #2, I like this: LEDs Type: 17 Philips LEDs, 5.0lm per LED, 336.000 hrs Life Span. Plus all the other info about these lights. Starting to talk myself into them...

Member Brian from way back yonder installed a set of aftermarkets on his sedan. Here is the link for reference.

I have the Spyders. I do have LEDs that died within the first couple months and bought them thru carid. They have a pretty good fit. If you go that route just make sure that if you can go extended warranty then do it because carid is really good about honoring them.
