My parents have a XLE and really want the premium taillights with the 3 bars after seeing our family’s Limited. So I just have to order these 4 part #s? No other parts, wires,etc? Is it all plug and play on a XLE? What is the difficulty level on a scale of 1-10? (I understand this is highly subjective)

I did it on my XLE: it’s not plug and play, the light assemblies fit exactly physically the same as the existing ones but you have to do some additional wiring to power the LED bars on the light assemblies on the hatch. I tied into the trailer hitch plug that’s located under the s-are tire area. Popping off the interior trim near the hatch is easy. Fishing the wires through to the hatch takes time. You do have to remove the trim on the hatch itself. If you’ve installed a car stereo with new wiring you should be able to do it, otherwise get help from someone with that type of experience…

Interesting... if I'm not mistaken, the Taiwan spec has rear foglights, wonder if we can get it to work.

So if i get the Taiwan spec, they still fit.. no modification besides running the wire?

Honestly have no idea, but generally Toyota tends to use the same connectors regardless of country so good chance they’ll work.

Those Taiwan spec taillights look interesting… I really like the fog light concept (they are extra bright) but I’m not sure that taillight comes with the 3 led bar LED as well. That’s a deal breaker for me, esthetically, the 3 bar looks great as well as giving me the extra visibility I want…

That’s a very good point. I was under the impression that the 3 bar LED still in the Taiwan spec and they added on the “rear fog light” but apparently it doesn’t look like the 3 bar LED is there..

I install the two inner lights and they look good..

Still debate whether to install the two outer ones..

Interesting. How does it look at night with just the inner lights having the 3 LED bars? Any pictures?

It doesn't look that bad at all..
Safety is my most concern so I think it works for me in this case.. the outer lights are nice to have ..

I agree, it's all about safety first and adding the hatch lights makes a big difference. You did the hardest part already with the extra wiring for the hatch. Now sell your old hatch lights and buy the side lights assemblies which are a straight swap plug ins. You'll be happy you did!

 

[2022SiennaLE]

I'm not sure who will buy these old hatch lights..
I'm thinking about replacing the bumper light to make the whole set looks better..

Removing the bumper isn't that bad at all..

Has anyone done the opposite and swapped the plug & play side lights while leaving the hatch lights as is?

It would be an easy swap but defeats the purpose of increased visibility which is essentially coming from the hatch assemblies…

Remove the connector in the arrow and plug the black and red wires into that connector temporarily. Turn on your lights and if they turn on, everything is good. If nothing turns on, switch the connection View attachment 55355

Thanks for the detailed explanation... I have a question, where do you bought the cable?

 

[Minay]

Hi guys where I can buy the cables and connectors?

I’m really not a DIY person. What is the appropriate labor hour at authorized dealer for replacing both outer and inner?
