got some new tail lights, snapped a few pics...

[Astro]

Man, that looks great!! They are definately better looking

[SleeperSolara]

Wow man that looks awesome.
Way better than stock.

I'm sure a tinted Gen 2 vs. Gen 2.5 would look just the same.

Nope... totally wrong, although the outline of the lights are the same, the actual shape of the lights are different... you still can tell the difference between Gen 2 and Gen 2.5 without the lights being on... even smoked...

I was thinking about just a light smoke, but will give it a go w/o the smoke first to see how I like it... and with the light smoke, it does not hinder the reverse lights too much (like my current smoked tails)... the "new" reverse lights have a much larger reflector, so it'll be brighter to begin with...

As to why I was thinking about it? Overall, going for a blue/black motif... that would be a part of it...

p.s. otherwise it looks "hella" clean (is that the right word?)

Yes! "Hella" is used in the correct context here!!!

[rollaevo99]

so what did you do with your reverse light?

[Jai_Jai_Binks]

Very nice. I'd do that if i were a gen 2.

Toyota's service group is going to be wondering why there are so many orders for 07 tail lights.

^^ LOL.

Oh yeah, Van, what's the red sticker on your trunk say?

So - how about you guys sharing a bit of info on how this install is done (a DIY perhaps?) - or give us all your phone numbers so we can call you for instructions as well!

sweet taillights man

btw your gf drives the same car as my sister. cool stuff.

thanks... yeah that car is fun as hell to drive... wish it was a MT... it would of been even more...

Man, that looks great!! They are definately better looking

thank you very much... i have to agree with you on that...

Wow man that looks awesome.
Way better than stock.

right on... yeah i agree, stock had that little piece of pink and that amber... i like it how it is now... just red and white... nice and simple...

so what did you do with your reverse light?

i put it where the turn signals were (the white part)... changed it to a clear bulb... and the signals went down to the LED's...

Very nice. I'd do that if i were a gen 2...

thanks bro...

Lookin' Hot!

thank you thank you...

PM me or Pedro if you need some help... "try to get the lights first... you can picture it a lot easier..."

One last question, Van, what type of bulbs are the new reverse lights?

3157? I figure I'd pick some up while I wait for the other stuff to come...

sh!t i don't remember... i threw away the package... i picked it up at kragen... my bad bro...

just take the bulb out and check it out... it shouldnt be hard to find.

[cklinh]

Van, no biggie... I probably have the bulbs already lying around my house

[---CAMRAZY---]

LOL, 3157 is correct....

[iinokturnolii]

to anybody with knowledge about this question...

i didnt get the flasher or the load resistors yet... my turn signals... signal really fast... do you think the police would pull me over for them? or you guys think i should just go ahead and get'em? i don't mean to sound cheap... IMO i think they look pretty cool with the fast turn signals...
