Just barely purchased my XLE Prem 2018 3 mnths ago, and can't really find tutorials on how to do stuff at all!! Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate it.
This video is such a big help. Thank u so much. I was about to ask u what about the middle light and boom! Thank u, please don't hesitate filming how u did it it's better than nothing. 👍👍👌
Wiring White with black stripe: Ground Green: Tail light Blue: Brake light Yellow: Turn signal Use 22-24 gauge quick splices. I used 18-20 gauge and had to use considerable force to get them to bite into the wires.
Sorry, can't say for sure without opening my car back up, but i remember the lights having similar guage as the car wires. The smaller quick splice should work for both.
Good explanatory video, but it would be 100x better if you had recorded the whole process..... I want to change the tail lights to the euro ones. They look way better!!
Sorry, this is over my head, I'm not a mechanic. Newer models may also have features that mine didn't. its possible that you bumped and misaligned a sensor somewhere.
The front lights I bought Look like the should pop right in from the inside, but they do not fit right. They need to be trimmed, and I'm not sure you can tell how to trim them without removing the bumper. I never installed mine.
See my comment above for wire colors for the Toyota harness. Every after market light might be different. So what you'll want to do is first connect ground to the car. This is probably black. Then take a live wire from the car and start touching them to the different wires on your light to see what lights up. Get yourself a cheap volt meter so you can tell when a wire is live.
Sorry I couldn't hold your hand through the whole process. Hold on a sec while I get that car back from the dealership, rip everything out, and do it again.
I posted this video because I found no instructions anywhere on the internet at the time. I had already completed the job but figured it was better than nothing. The job is simple and if you follow my instructions, they will help. Or you can ignore me, go figure it out on your own, waste a bunch of time, and make your own video.

Those colors....are they for the LED lights that you are adding or the color on the Original Toyota Wiring harness ?
What gauge are the wires for the led reflector?

Thank's this helped a lot
thanks very needful
nice video, very detailed information step by step, whish it was taken in day time :)
Great video! Just wondering where you bought the center tail light?
Ebay. They're available in several different lighting patterns. (I had mine tinted at a body shop.) Here's an example

Awesome! Thanks!
I'm going to have these installed by a professional to match the one's I had put on the front. Do they act as a turn signal blinker?
It can act as a turn signal if you connect it to a turn signal wire.
Good explanatory video, but it would be 100x better if you had recorded the whole process..... I want to change the tail lights to the euro ones. They look way better!!
You're a master of hindsight, Master Wrong. Unfortunately I just never thought about it until the job was done.
how you were able to turn the brake light on without being inside the car and not having a second person to apply the brake?
I just propped something up against it. Movie magic...
I can't find original tail light , mine doesn't come with
I just installed some similar lights and the pre collision warning is on it won’t turn off 💀 help?
Sorry, this is over my head, I'm not a mechanic. Newer models may also have features that mine didn't.

Shame you didn't record the whole thing
Do you know how to install the front day lights? Not the fog lights
The front lights I bought Look like the should pop right in from the inside, but they do not fit right. They need to be trimmed, and I'm not sure you can tell how to trim them without removing the bumper. I never installed mine.
Can you explain the wiring a bit more.

how about making a video of actually doing it? more doing less talking pls!

So here is a video filmed at night with just explaining what he did without actually doing it! No help

Too much work. I rather take the bumper out.
