Just bought a pair of brand new TYC tail lights off of ebay for $100 less than dealer. Can somebody please tell me how to install them. ie:what screws to remove? where tabs are located? Thanks for your help.

In response to where I bought them, my girl picked them up for me for our 1 year from ebay. This guy was selling a brand new, never installed, still in box set and she bought them. She paid $152.50 + $20 (flat shipping rate) for a total of $172.50. This is a lot cheaper than the dealership's $275 fee (not including tax or installation charges). I'm not sure if he has anymore but his ebay username is "williamm". When searching on ebay just search for "scion xa tail lights" or "tyc tail lights scion xa" or something like that. I know that right now as of 1:09 AM PST (2/16/05), there are 11 on ebay from a toyota mall for only $199.50 + s/h

or you can take place in this auction that ends in 5 days where the startingbid is $179 or click "buy it now" to purchase at a price of $185 + $25 flat s/h

Just copy these links & they should take you there. If you're looking for deals on high-quality products, definately hit up ebay.

I've never installed the TYC tail lights on an xA, but I've uninstalled my tail lights...

Pop the trunk. There are two panels behind the tail lights inside the trunk. Pop open one side and there should be two bulbs connected to wires and 2 10mm bolts. Unplug the two bulbs and undo the two bolts while holding the tail light (as it might fall out). Slide the tail lights out and voila! Do the same to the other side then install the new tail lights and you should be good to go!
