Great tails, different style. The turn signals are actually the middle of the lights flashing which is different from just the top. The install requires replacing the bulbs with a plug that goes into their sockets and moving the harness from the stock tails to the new tails. I bought them from Orcmica on ebay who i recommend.

tCGuy007 12-23-2006, 05:13 AM PlayinWithFire, did you ask Orimica if their tails are made by Anzo? Because I emailed and asked them a while ago but didn't get any reply from them.
XtCFast 12-23-2006, 05:21 AM ya yo it looks like a bmw
L4rry_B1rd 12-23-2006, 05:27 AM wow that makes KINGxOFxSKA's tc look like a 6 series. vurrrry nice!

SWTCKID 12-23-2006, 09:28 AM wow i was to busy looking at that sound system to even notice the tails..kick a$$ system and the tails look good too
ADRdesignCo 12-23-2006, 11:04 AM i love those tails. they are super clean :clap:
insanetc 12-23-2006, 01:25 PM those are by far the best tails for our car...very nice and clean
eston 12-23-2006, 03:40 PM I'm buying these as soon as I am done with the interior of the car. They're beautiful.
Golden86 12-23-2006, 04:33 PM I just wish there where some quality pics of the tails on a silver TC, all I see them on are BSP, or FM tc's.
PlayinWithFire 12-23-2006, 05:18 PM ill take better ones soon... im stuck at my grandparents w/o technology
SwtC44 12-23-2006, 05:32 PM how much did you guys pay for them? cause damn those are awesome. amazing cars too guys
PlayinWithFire 12-23-2006, 11:58 PM 186 to my door step...
JoeBozz 12-24-2006, 07:42 AM fairly good price, give the tc added luxury look
davedavetC 12-24-2006, 06:36 PM nice alex. now i see why you wanted to have me tkae ur tails so fast! btw i cleared them and got them all glossy and i installed them .thanks man the ones i have look great 8)
TurkF26 12-24-2006, 08:57 PM Ya great lights. I personally think they look better than the TYC tailights.
djafropiq 12-26-2006, 06:52 AM where did you order them from?
SCION_X 12-26-2006, 09:21 AM Damnit, they need a black housing one with red led's... I cant stand the red reflector ones. plus with a BSP it looks off... Oh well, cant be prefect i guess.. :tap:
tCGuy007 12-26-2006, 04:48 PM PlayinWithFire, is the reverse light also LED? I noticed that KINGxOFxSKA's Anzo tails use LED for reverse lights. Just wondering if it's the same for your tails or not.
XtCFast 12-26-2006, 05:27 PM some 1 wit NB please post!!!
tC4italy 12-27-2006, 07:42 PM can we see them at night time?
Blue_Batmobile 12-27-2006, 08:35 PM pretty cool. Anyone in San Diego have these? I'd like to make an Overlay for them :).
Email me.

AcrimoniousBear 12-27-2006, 08:55 PM King of Ska, have u seen Anzo's promised black tails? they say they will be released in Jan. if they are this same style with just black and clear with red LEDs....ooooOOOOOOOoooooo that will be perfecto with my theme!!!! whatcha know, guy! Anzo is my homies! lol
RedLine_tC 12-27-2006, 09:00 PM nice...im def. getting a set of these soon
PlayinWithFire 12-27-2006, 10:38 PM i will post more pics once i get home (golf vacation!!!) They didnt fog up at all even with all the rain in CT and they r still glowing bright.
The tails dont come with LEDs (Ormica-usa on ebay didnt supply them) But you could get the replacement bulb on like superbrightleds.com or some site like that easily.
Audicted 12-28-2006, 01:12 AM I agree, I love my Anzo taillights and I love showing them off to other tC's on the road :P
I have had them for about 1 1/2 months now and I have had absolutely no problems with shorting out, fogging, leaks, etc. I have taken it through 3 carwashes, as well.
*crosses fingers* I hope it continues that way
Here are some photos with the Hazard lights on:

I got mine out of eBay and speaking of which, anyone want to buy my old taillights? Good condition!
tCGuy007 12-28-2006, 02:15 AM Audicted, tails look real nice on your car :)
eston 12-28-2006, 02:41 PM Alright, this is my next mod. Absolutely beautiful. (Then I guess springs and sways will have to wait a bit :( )
Ok I am set on getting these tails! Yet I have a quick question. Right now I have found two suppliers on Ebay that are selling these. I want to know if both are the same or 1 is a nock off. I ask only because the price is around $29 different.

No such thing as Anzo black tails. I'm not sure where u heard that from. These are the only tails from Anzo.
ndnbolla 01-04-2007, 04:47 AM Do the clear/chrome part on the bottom of these tails have any functions? Do they light up at all or are they just for looks?

If you purchased them already, are these two the same or is one a knock off that you can tell. Let me know, trying to buy them before the end of the week and want to be sure. :pray:

CSOCSO 02-05-2007, 05:57 AM tyc with tint overlays looks better than this...
Besides these lights looking nice, do they perform (brightness, quality, build ect..) any better than OEM?
jasonbegin 02-05-2007, 03:13 PM ^ Well there LED's so they are DEFF Brighter then OEM
BeetC 02-05-2007, 05:00 PM ^ Well there LED's so they are DEFF Brighter then OEM

^x2 I really want to get these tails as well, but I need to know whether or not the led's are faulty like the headlights. But i'm trying to make a decision whether to get HID's or Anzo tails.

karatekidd 02-16-2007, 02:31 PM could someone photo shop some smoke on these tails....I've got my stock ones smoked on my BCP, but I'm starting to like these and I wonder how they would look tinted...
pdstc 03-05-2007, 07:19 PM I think these are my favorite ones. anybody have a Black cherry with them on? or care to photoshop? somebody mentioned it earlier, but people thought they meant a black tc when they said BCP. i want to see them on back cherry (dark red)
kamileon 03-05-2007, 07:24 PM I think they look too much like stock. I like the 2008 scion tc taillights. I wanna see someone make mercedes lookalike taillights, possibly from the SLR mclaren haha love those
richardsayzz 03-07-2007, 06:56 AM man that thing looks beautiful on the black one with the glamor shots lol....looks like the NEW BMW's
im tempted to get it for my SW. anyone got anymore pictures? or glamor pictures like the black one lol
its direct plug and play right?

iddoit2er 03-07-2007, 03:29 PM any of you guys have problems with fitment of these anzo tails? i got these about a week ago, and when installing them, they didn't quite line up as well as the stock ones, so i broke one of them trying to get it to fit. wasted around 180 bucks. waiting for my new set to come in the mail this week.
richardsayzz 03-13-2007, 11:55 PM where did you guys order the part from? and hows the fitment

ilovemytC 04-09-2007, 10:13 PM Ask BlueBat, he gives discount to SL members. His id is:
BlueBatMobile
also Randode sells them but I think his are more
danny662boy 04-09-2007, 11:57 PM how dark are the overlays?
ilovemytC 04-10-2007, 01:42 AM mine are light smoke 3/10. There is also the dark 6/10. If you want even darker you will have to double up on the 6/10 or VHT nightshade them.
danny662boy 04-10-2007, 10:21 PM how long did it take u to put on? and how do u put them on??? easY?
ilovemytC 04-11-2007, 03:08 AM ^what the overlays or the lights?
XxHeartxBleedxX 04-11-2007, 03:34 AM I was thinking smoked anzo are kind of light, i might want to try the overlay =]
ilovemytC 04-11-2007, 06:54 AM mine are with overlays
danny662boy 04-12-2007, 01:19 AM i meant the overlays? how long did it take? and how do u do it? (like and special stuff to put on them)
Ty_Max 04-12-2007, 02:43 AM Where can you buy these online...I keep searching but can't find any.
Where can you buy these online...I keep searching but can't find any.
Got mine from ebay. Either go w/ omicron (spelling?), pro exhaust, or motor blvd. All three have the real anzo dot approved red LED tails. Ranges from around 160 to 190 shipped.
ilovemytC 04-12-2007, 06:04 PM i meant the overlays? how long did it take? and how do u do it? (like and special stuff to put on them)
It took me 2 hours! I didn't know what I was doing on the first light, so I had alot of wrinkles when I got towards the end. It took forever to heat and stretch the vinyl so I could get those wrinkles out. The second light was much easier because I knew exactly where to start. What worked for me, was starting in the middle and smoothing the overlay out, then working from the middle to right side, then did the left. I had to really take my time, squeegeeing it inch by inch so there wouldn't be many bubbles, those are the worst to try to get out! I HIGHLY recommend removing the lights first.
Here is BlueBat's DIY for the tail lights. Follow it to the "T":
http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=131312&highlight=
danny662boy 04-12-2007, 07:37 PM spectacular sounds good, and im assuming to take them off you would just peel them off? and your back to the light with no scratches or anything???
ilovemytC 04-12-2007, 09:11 PM yup, they remove without leaving a sticky mess. that is the main reason I chose vinyl over spray paint.
tCvirus 04-12-2007, 09:59 PM Does anyone have the ones that are allready smoked without the overlays? I've been wanting to get them for my SW but not sure if they will look ok, and how dark they come. My windows are 22% tinted so I thought the smoked may look better. =)

Vamanos 04-17-2007, 09:31 PM like the stock ones better

TorneoDude 05-05-2007, 04:46 PM I'm just curious where the names for some of the tails are coming from? I have the same exact tails on one of my xB as was labeled "Anzo" with the photo below earlier in this thread. Yet if you look at the lense of the tail itself, just ahead of the DOT SAE , it is clearly made by "SONAR" (Sonar Automotive Pty, Taiwan).

Oddly enough, I wound up scanning the SL archives for clues as to why the new tails for my son's '07 TC kept blowing fuses and found his tails being called "Altezza" and at least one or two other names and they are also made by SONAR.

Slightly confused over the labeling and originally had a hard time searching SL for info on the lights because nobody seems to acknowledge the actual manufacturer. Not life-threatening but I am curious if anyone knows why we don't call these SONAR LED tails? :doh:
obarajas 05-05-2007, 05:47 PM you can contact k2motor (spec-d) I bought mine (made by eagel eyes) at their website and they have different kind of tail lights for the tc I'm sure you can ask them who make them. by the way for does people asking where can you buy the tail lights online beside ebay go to www.k2motor.com and if you live near 626 you can buy the product and have it pick up the same day at their warehouse or they offer free shipping too.
ilovemytC 05-05-2007, 06:06 PM I'm just curious where the names for some of the tails are coming from? I have the same exact tails on one of my xB as was labeled "Anzo" with the photo below earlier in this thread. Yet if you look at the lense of the tail itself, just ahead of the DOT SAE , it is clearly made by "SONAR" (Sonar Automotive Pty, Taiwan).

The Sonar ones are called Altezza because:
"A car called the Toyota Altezza (Lexus IS300) came out in the US in 2001, and it had a unique tail light: chrome rings with colored lenses and indicators, inside a larger clear plastic lens. This 3-D design was really eye-catching and people were attracted to it.
I was aware those were Sonar LED lights....somewhere there's a thread on it. Here it is:

Anyways, the Anzos are different and made by Anzo USA. There are rebadged ones called Eagle Eyes, which you will see on eBay. They are the same lights, just depends on who you buy through.

Thanks for the clarification.
You might find this amusing :eyebrow: I looked up "Anzo" on eBay and return 12x listings for shoes! Nothing in eBay Motors or for cars...
I tried "Eagle Eyes" and I got 28x listings for sunglasses and music with 6x of the 9 listings in eBay motors for motorcycle turn signals! :clap: :rofl:
I know you are absolutely right so I checked the Search Title and Description box and returned 1894x possiblilities for everything from fishing lures to a OEM/stock Tacoma taillight.
About 30x fm the top I finally spotted this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-02-SILVERADO-SIERRA-RED-CLEAR-L-E-D-TAILLIGHTS-LED_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33716QQihZ002QQitemZ120114395436QQrdZ1 so I narrowed the search to eBay Motors and there they were!
Apparently they made repro OE/stock units as well. I found these Benz units for only about $70 a pair incl S&H!
http://katmac.com/pix/202tlcrystal.jpg
I'm noticing that a large number of tC owners seem to prefer the OE (all-red look) but with LEDs. What about all red with a band of clear in the middle like those Benz lenses? Does anybody think that would look sick or would it be too Camry? (hey it rhyms! ...benz lenz..:doh: nevermind....)
I recall seeing a tC locally, but only once in traffic, that had the top corner solid amber for a turn with the B/U in the stock spot and the rest of the main body was red like stock but with LEDs. Anybody know which ones those are?
I like the variety...:love: even the 'ugly ones'...(just not for my car!):rofl: It keeps things from getting :yawn: I figure as long as I get to pick what I like , I'm happy. Everybody is not going to agree no matter what you mod.
Good thing there are so many choices in aftermarket for cosmetics like this. Wasn't that long ago, if you didn't like the tails you'd have to wait till the next year's OE came out on the next models :tap: and 'update' to those at dealer prices :eyebrow:
This way we are faced with so many choices we no longer get to make the excuse that we don't like those ugly things either... but they came with the car! Maybe car companies should make them interchangeable like cell-phone covers! That way we could just keep changing them with a snap and click everytime they draw some bad smack :nope: On the upside, maybe the prices would come down :clap: On the downside. though, the best prices would probably come from 'hot' once that were pinched off of parked cars because they be even easier to steal :silly: (You all realize that's why the OE have that really superlong top pin and the 2x bottom clip rails tha hook under the bumper,right? Theft prevention! They figured the tails would be much less attractive to thieves if they have to tear the bumper cover off 1st or risk destroying the housing! The older xB already sold in Japan in '98 BTW doesn't have that feature; it's 3x nuts and a plug and you're away! You could say that they learned something from the theft/chop-shop numbers with the Camry...)
anyhow... :blah: Sorry! :doh:

Might have been an overlay? but sounds like the TYC's with an overlay...or might have been the Feint tails...were the brake lights circular LEDs? then they were Feint.
My Anzos, a lot better looking than the Sonar in my opinion:

andrewStC 05-06-2007, 05:12 PM I don't know why you put the overlay over the Anzo tails, to me it doens't look good. Should of just had it tinted like KINGxOFxSKA rather than those overlays, but to each their own I guess.
Rj661 05-06-2007, 05:22 PM anyone have the black housing for that taillight installed on their TC??
or the crome painted black??
not the smoked one. black housing with a clear lens.
Anzo have it here>> http://www.anzousa.com/anzousa/pages/products/ledtaillights/ledtail_scion.html#ledtail_ScionTC
but they don't have pics for the black housing though.
i wanna see how it looks like installed on black, flint, or nautical TC.

I was going to go that route, but the bottom part is chrome and didn't match to the unsmoked TBL, and I do not want any chrome on the tail lights. I wanted to smoke them light tint, not black-out. My car is FM and in my opinion, having darker tail lights than the color of paint looks off unless on a white or black car...but to each their own, I agree.
