Need some help. Been all over the web. Anyone know where I can get a wiring harness (includes connector, wiring, twist on bulb sockets) for the TYC tail lights. Next stop is the Toyota parts department but I was hoping I could find a dealer on the web.

do the tyc's have a different harness than stock? so if i went back to stock i would need a new harness?

To the best of my understanding....
TYC tail lights come with thier own bulbs and sockets that have a harness and connector that will plug into your car's stock connector and leave about a foot of extra length in the new wiring. I want a set of TYC's before my next inpection.
They are plug and play. Tail light assembly fits original exactly.

TYC owners..... am I correct?

The TYC wiring harness and the stock wiring setup are different and not interchangeable. The stock wiring setup is like a printed circuit board (on a thick mylar like sheet). The TYC uses actual wires.

Yes, to the ABOVE, but the TYC wires end with a connection that plugs into the OEM connection that gets pluged into the center socket of the original tail lights. The 'printed circut board' (paper with electric lines in it) goes from the original tail light's center socket to the top (stop) and lower (reverse) bulbs.

Again, my understanding is that I can unplug connector from original tail light center socket, and directly plug it into the end of the TYC's wiring harness.

Who owns, and installed a set of TYC's, and can they post up...

Tell me if I am wrong before I buy.

The TYC is plug and play. It plugs right into the OEM connector. I tried it on my left side and all the lights work as they should. I am just missing the TYC wiring harness for the right side.

Hooked up my TYC's in 30 minutes. Unplug the harness and remove the two nuts (the top nut on passenger side was a pain cause I'm right-handed). Swap ligts, tighten nuts amd plug in harness. The TYCs have a harness making it easier to plug 'em in.

Make sure you stuff a towel in the bottom of the little hatch where you access the taillights in case you happen to drop a nut............

i want to go back to stock tails but i need to get the original wiring harness for the stocks. anyone know where i can get them online?

Stock tails have no wiring harness. When you unplug the TYC tails - the connector you unplug them from plugs into the back of the stock tails. It never leaves the vehicle.

I bought two TYC taillights, one of which has the TYC harness, one does not. Who sells just the harness so that I can plug my orphan taillight in?

TIA.

okay, bumping a pretty old thread.

i bought some ebay taillights for my gf's xb and the printed circuit board is a POS. it gets weird intermittent contact on the brake light connection.

anyone know where to get JUST the TYC harness/bulbs? i'd rather not dismantle her OEM taillights to steal the circuit board but that's where i'm leaning right now.

thanks in advance.
