Hey guys,

I came across this photo and noticed the taillights. I know the prefacelift japan taillights have the stripes BUT this corolla appears to be a different kind, notice the holes in the housing of the lights? like they are meant for LEDs...

anyone know much about them?

Cheers

I think that they may just be the JDM Tail Lights. The 'holes' that you see, might just be because of the angle it's taken at? Though I'm not too sure, maybe someone else can confirm..

Looks to be some sort of rear lip molded into the factory bumper, some sort of side skirts, and some sort of front skirt...

I'm not much help am I, Jeremy? HAHA. But I have to say, I'm not a fan of his/her wheels.. nor am I a fan of the taillight eyelids.

Yup. The tail lights are no doubt from Japan. I saw them during my visit there. I love the reverse lighting strips. Can hardly see any in Aussie. If you want it, i suppose you can only order 'em from Jap. correct me if i'm wrong. And The tail lid is an add-on.

Another view:

TRDYUS, were the jdm taillights hard to install? I was looking at the wiring loom and the plug looks different to my facelift tailights (jdm has two rows of pins whereas mine is only one row of pins)

TRDYUS, your rear kit looks quite similar to the one in the picture. And it's sexy. Do u know the origin company (ie. brand name) or is it a custom one? Thanks. - Martin -

Not sure of the one pictured, will look out for it.

Mine is just the Toyota(Aus) rear skirt molded into the bumper.

Well I had only received the taillight housing & therefore needed to remove two tabs off the reverse holders & also needed to purchase thinner signal bulbs then re-fit.

The taillights are held on with 3 bolts, be careful not to drop them while taking off because they will land in an never ending pit right below the rear bumper.

This is for the sportivo's

For 1zz if you purchase it with the loom it should fit straight in.

I have the facelift taillights which uses the plastic panel to hold the bulbs, what does the prefacelift wiring loom plug look like? will it plug straight into my facelift corolla?

they originaly come on the 03 runx from japan..have a pair on my car

The picture i posted looked a little different compared to the OEM jdm lights, the lens is smoked but the lens looks more clearer (transparent) to see the chrome-like inner housing with holes for LEDs or something.

Most likely a modified jdm taillight?

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.
