And when you loosen the bumper you will hear some ugly cracking noises, but they are just the clips releasing.

Doesn't look like you take it all the way off, but pretty darn close.

It is basically removing the bumper. You will need to pull and tug pretty hard to pop it off of the clips, but that's the hardest part. You might want to have a shop do it if you're weary of the procedure, but you'll save a lot of money if you do it yourself.

I did the install for a school project and I had to make a Powerpoint. If I can figure out how to post it, I will start a new thread. ANy ideas on how to post that?

tC9o9

thats the one im gettin^^

i dont really like any of the others except for the one that smokes it out entirely

mandangalo

those are ok, better than what they look like in the first place, but the only way i would buy them is if bluebatmobile made them so the bottom LED part was all red, and the top was all red, leaving the amber in the middle.

I don't know what all the scion people's obsession is with "getting rid of the amber". with many other car communities such as most hondas/acuras and subarus, they try to keep more amber in, instead of going with this "euro" styling.

now, about 3 years ago, amber wasn't cool at all. now it is, apparently. i like it.

MJVsTC

My thoughts exactly. I'm keeping my amber.

tC9o9

amber in certain areas is cool, cuz people think its JDM..redded out taillights are also cool wit hondas. he does have the all red overlays, they just arent pictured. he said with all three of his overlays for the TYC's you can get smoke or redout. im gonna get these right now, and a little later get the 6/10 tint overlays that go over the stock ones..just so itll be different.

mandangalo

thats cool. does he have ones that are redded out, minus the amber part that is on the tycs?

tC9o9

yup..that would be the tcty2...but that would be ugly IMHO

The TYC LEDs are definitely worth the price and bumper removal! The night we put ours on, I made my wife drive it around for an hour just so I could follow and stare at the LEDs!

MJVsTC

I had never removed the tC's rear bumper before, but once the clips let go it was smoooooooooooooooth sailing.

See what I mean about all the possibitlies with my Overlays . You can get the tctyc2(led) Overlay in redout if you want

Is it best to try to install the overlays with the tail lights out?

Then I'll be more interested in installing the TYC my self as to get the overlays on and then babam new bad ___ Tails.
