LED lights

[XploShun]

do u guys know how to install it??

i opened the boot.... and saw a BLACK plastic cover.... i opened it.. and saw a wire connected to it....

i pulled the plug out...... but... wts next?!?!

[shaohaok]

u twist the plug and remember which way it went in. put the LED plug in. turn on the lights to make sure the polarity is right so it lights up, then u put it back in :P

one side is dead easy, the other side is a bit more fiddly coz there's a metal plate in the way.

I lost count of how many times I swore trying to get the passenger side one in... It would have been alot easier if Toyota had designed the openings directly behind the bulb.

the plug?? u meant the plug with the wires? or the PURE plastic...??? its DAMN hard... i tried... and it wont move... i hope is the right one...

i might post the pic of it later... and hope its right!!!!

They're mounted similar to the parker bulbs. The wire is attached to the plastic bulb-holder, simply twist the plastic with wire and all anti-clockwise and then it should come out.

When putting back in, it may be easier to work with the lights on because it will illuminate the space you're hands are working in.

That's your parker bulbs. It should be the standard W5W (5 Watt Wedge). You can change these with the blue vision parkers, BJ Union parkers Tangcla is selling or the appropriate LED.

Isnt it funny that they couldnt make it any easier to change a bulb in the hatch lid??? What about for like old people or people with NO knowledge of cars etc.......YES shao i agree we should all file a case against TOYOTA and their poorly designed hatch lid!!!! :D :P

i think the ppl who designed the plastic trim for it where on the other side of the universe, when the ppl who were designing the rear wiper assembly.

I think its all about making sure that you DON'T change the bulb ... the idea is that you get the bulb changed when you're next at Toyota for a service.

They probably have a special tool that does that job in 30 seconds flat ... :D

if u get those cheapo blue wedge bulbs, most likely they fade and u're back to square one lol

spend on some decent quality LEDs and u get them lasting forver and staying nice and white. BUT having said that, the LED u get needs to have some proper lenses to spread the light.

if u ask northy nicely i'm sure he would take a pic for ya
