Opinion on tail light - Page 2

Dan,

Were you able to buy these specifically for a 1997 or were you able to plug the 1998s directly in? Also how are they holding up over time?

Not bad but imo 98-on facelift lights look as good as any.

ravgirl,
Sorry for not seeing your post before this. When I bought these tail lights off ebay the add said year specific. I knew they would fit the opening but I was not sure of the wiring. So, before they arrived I may a quick trip to the local junk and picked up a set of 2000 RAV4 tail light wire harnesses.
The trip was all for not because my 97 and the 2000 wires turned out to be the same setup.
Plug and Play.

Dan

IMO, the more red at the rear the better, especially for brake lights - should help prevent rear-end crashes by people whose minds aren't on their driving . .
