View Full Version : WTF ... just got my TYCS in the mail .. plugs dont fit - XB
Soon2BxB 12-15-2004, 03:42 PM so i just got my tycs in the mail that i got from a person on ebay .. used... he didnt include the turn/brake/reverse sockets.. no big deal...
come to find out the stock ones dont fit ... where do i get ones that do fit .. are the TYCS supposed to come with their own .. also .. is there a special harness they are supposed to have or do you have to move the white circuit board thingy from the stock tails over to the tycs .. thanx

Joehnn 12-15-2004, 03:58 PM You my friend got the shaft. :x
I bought new tails from ebay and they were complete.
I don't know how to transfer the stock board. Good luck.
I've gotten burned on ebay before too. Ouch! :(
Soon2BxB 12-15-2004, 04:18 PM so it turns out there is supposed to be a harness and i didnt get it :(
fock .. i just emailed the person i got em from .. in hopes that he still has it
TOAST3R 12-15-2004, 08:50 PM do you have a picture of what you got?
when i got mine from someone on here, it was just the tailight assembly, the stock sockets with the bulbs fit in them

squirrel 12-15-2004, 11:51 PM Hmm, I just unplugged my factory ones, and then bolted and plugged in the TYCs.
TOAST3R 12-16-2004, 12:02 AM Hmm, I just unplugged my factory ones, and then bolted and plugged in the TYCs.
ya same here
Soon2BxB 12-16-2004, 02:00 PM you guys aer talking about the actual SOCKETS right .. where the bulbs go in ?
cause i took out my stock taillight ... and tried to then put in the stock sockets for turn/brake/reverse and they dont even come close to fitting ...
can someone take a pic of the back of their tycs with the sockets in ?
thanx
tom
Soon2BxB 12-16-2004, 02:23 PM just to clarify
im talking about the actual sockets that twist into the taillight ...
from reading the description of hte TYCS
you are supposed to get a harness with them ... one that twists into the tyc tails (the bulb holders) .. which then plugs into the cars harness.....
i didnt get that special harness :(
DJ_X_Trodinaire 12-16-2004, 02:27 PM yes the tyc comes with a harnest

Soon2BxB 12-16-2004, 03:16 PM yeah that would be the harness that i need
does anyone know of any way to get it ?? .. i called scion and they said that they dont have a part number for the harness alone and that you have to buy the whole TYC kit :(
damn
squirrel 12-16-2004, 05:05 PM How about this..............................
Since you bought it on eBay, contact the seller and request a refund.
Did the seller advertise that it was complete? If so, and you paid by PayPal, make a complaint if the seller doesn't complete the transaction. Then PayPal will refund your money and place a hold on the seller's account.
Have you tried contacting the seller?
DJ_X_Trodinaire 12-16-2004, 05:06 PM keep bugging the guy that sold you the item
if he doesnt budge complain to ebay
contact
http://www.elegantebytyc.com/
they are the ones who manufactures the light
Soon2BxB 12-16-2004, 05:19 PM so i just contacted TYC and talked with Jeff.. he is going to make some calls and see if he can locate an extra harness in the warehouse :)
ive got my fingers crossed
as for the seller.. he is being less then helpful .. so i dont think i am going to get anywhere with that
hotbox05 12-16-2004, 05:31 PM do the complaint with paypal. you'll get yo money back. aight? cool! i love ebay but people like that lead people to never trust ebay worth a ____

Make the complaint w/ ebay, and if you used Paypal, make a cmplaint w/ them also.
Soon2BxB 12-16-2004, 10:00 PM well good news is .. there is a part number ..
Hi Tom,
Our warehouse does not have any harness, but the Toyota dealership
can
order this part for you. It's the part number for the wiring harness.
PTS25-52041-WH
04-05 TY Scion xB T.L Wiring Harness
BAD NEWS IS .. that its 30 dollars (and the dealer guy was not sure if it was 30 a side or 30 total) and to top it off .. ther arent even any in this country
FOCK
windowtint 12-17-2004, 03:35 AM that would be per SIDE, not for both.
