Default LED Diffuser Lights Install

Hey guys,

wondering if anyone has these lights(or anything similar) on their RCF. If yes, was the install difficult? Seen one with it on and it looks amazing, just wanna know if it's a simple DIY or if I'll have to get someone with electrical skills to put them on for me. Lol

Heres the link:

You will need to pull the rear bumper off completely. Wasn’t bad, but I did it myself...

DAMN KRAMER!! I could NEVER figure out how to remove an entire bumper like that buddy! All that just to add LED Lights? Serious question - Was all that labor worth the result?

Yes it was worth it. It looks labor intensive but it was pretty easy. There are a couple of bolts on the bottom, and in fender wells, the rest are just snaps and pressure clips. I put painters tape so removal and reapplication of bumper wouldn’t scratch the lenses or paint. You just tap the diffuser lights into tail lights and viola!

They make them in clear, smoked lens and red lens. Just do a search, they are the same for most Toyota vehicles like the Sienna rear bumper etc. I purchased mine off EBay. I do have a brand new extra set just in case, but mine have been going strong for over 2 yrs now!
