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

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! :(

Hmm, I just unplugged my factory ones, and then bolted and plugged in the TYCs.

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 :(

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?

Make the complaint w/ ebay, and if you used Paypal, make a cmplaint w/ them also.

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
