Post Altezza style tail lights

I'm interested in finding some of the Euro style clear and chromed tail lights for my Toyota Harrier (JN sister to RX300). Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks...

What about the OEM '02 Harrier taillights? I doubt that there would be an aftermarket version seeing how Toyota made their own. Even so, aftermarket kits tend to be very flimsy and poorly-fitted.

Question '02 OEM

Very true, but will the '02 lights fit on a '98 model?

it will fit... you do need to tweak the wiring a bit... do a search for earlier posts. I believe that member "Francis" changed out the lights on his 99 RX300.

Good luck!

This is what needs to be done. Found this from one of the earlier posts.
I would like to do it, but spending $500-600 is not a small amount. I'm still looking for after market vendors that make this. No luck yet. Will keep you posted.

"Yes, you need to modify a little. Here is my instruction.

1). There are 1 wire per light and each wire have 2 bulb¡¦s mold. (brake & back up light), (brake & turn signal light).

2). For the outside lights. The light cover is fit and the new wiring of the outside lights is about the same except the turn signal bulb¡¦s mold. So I replaced the old wire with the new one. To do that, I disassembled some body panels.

3). For the inner lights. The light cover is also fit but the new wiring of the inner lights is totally different from 99¡¦ RX. There is no connector for the new wire so I have to use the original wiring. But the original bulbs¡¦ molds are slightly different from the new one so they do not fit the light¡¦s cover. So I trim it until it fit.

I spent almost 3 hours for the installation and it was very easily just time consumming. Oh, I love the look! Good luck.
„h The best place I found was at "Irontoad.com" for the parts. Cost about $550. The wireing is different, but buy a pact od 10butt connectors and spend about two hours and you have one of the nicest modifications on the market"
