I hear ya.. there are plenty of people who have them now anyways..
Too bad I got the LED ones 2 months ago or I'd get there Rumion ones.. as far as the wiring goes,, All it would take is some time.. only 3 wires going to the 1157 bulbs... 2 going to a 1156 or equilivant.. You already know what the wires are from your existing wiring.. just a matter of splicing into your existing back up lite & running an extra 2 wires over to the passanger side.. It's not hard.. just do one bulb at a time & test every connection... just takes time.. one at a time. I'd be glad to help anyone do it if you're close to St Louis..., but I am liking my LED tails too much to sell them used & re=purchase Rumion NON led tails.. good luck to all those who do, i think they look great as well!!!...jh

hey jimmbomb

can you post some day and night pics of your LED taillights for us to see?

I'd also like to see a close-up of the installed light to see what the gap is all about that motorcade said needs a filler piece. I would have thought that Toyota would have made the sheet metal and the light fixture sizes exactly the same for the xB and Rumion.

if you look closely at those rumion pictures, you'll notice that the rear bumper is slightly different. & when they (rumion) have a 'Chrome rear bumper protector', you'll notice that it fits their bumper nicely, BUT it's not the same as the xB's bumper.. look where the rear quarterpanel meets up with the bumper.. That's the difference.. That's where the gap will be....... that's why they have the gap.. They (lights) were designed for the Rumion rear end, which is slightly diferent from the xB's rear.. yes Cionide.. I feel your pain about motorcades description on the wiring.. Noticed that i said, "it will take some time'.. 'one light at a time'.. just takes time... If I had the $300 lights, I would take the time to go thru the wiring... good luck to all.. I may sell mine anyways when an aftermarket company like Anzo or someone comes out with a 'LED' Rumion tail for the Japaneese modders market.. jh

Thanks jimmbomb, if scilly comes back with great news on the CATZ back-up bulb, then I'll probably buy one and go with xB LED tails to avoid the whole "gap crap" of the Rumion tails even though the extra light output in reverse would be nice.

I know someone's going to say to go with the front end conversion, too. But that's a grip of money...

I just ordered my LED tails!!!

As soon as I get them they'll probably be shipped off and tinted!

So i get my lights on Friday and I am pumped on getting them installed so I open the box and one of them is broken. I call Carson and they file a claim with UPS and they just picked it up so now I have to wait a week or so for a new one. Talking about pain. I have 1 light that is hanging out in my office wanting it mate so they site see from the back of my car.

Keep you up to date on the install.
