I wish this was available too for the non-PP or SE Primes:

Not suitable for Prime version!!! Head Up Display HUD for Toyota RAV4 2019-2025

They are available. They're aftermarket taillights. May not be plug n play though.

 

Where are they available for the RAV4 Prime? Not avalable at the above website. Only for other RAV4 models.

 

Looks nice. The back is actually my very least favorite part of this generation’s body style, it just looks like a cheap minivan from the back and I think the lights have a lot to do with it. This kit makes a big difference.

 

There Is no difference in taillights among models - LE, XLE, HYBRID, or PRIME.

 

Seems true, but the webstie says not compatible with Prime. Perhaps the wiring is differnt. Do you know of a website that offers these lights that says they are compatible with the Prime?

 

If I may ... I find the possible modification too expensive for what they give aesthetically!

My Two Cents !

For the wiring of the Prime ... you should ask ... if the product is not plug & play you could risk receiving error messages on the dashboard!

 

All Gen. 4.5 R4’s share the same tail light part number, for example: 2019-2021 Toyota Tail Light (Left, Rear) 81561-42221 | AutoNation Toyota Gulf Freeway
They probably would be fine- I doubt the aftermarket sellers do something different than Toyota. They probably just haven’t tested with this model.

But with all that wiring and resistor install in the vid it still looks like a hack job to me. And could still throw codes on any model.

 

Agree to all. That's why I wish both of these SAID they were compatable with the Prime. I won't be ordering. Just found this an interesting potential upgrade.

 

Hmm. Makes me wonder if they're CAN connected like the headlights are. After all, when using the HOLD feature when braking the brake lights remain lit after letting your foot off the pedal. 🤔

The brake lights are turned on whenever the brakes are applied. On the hybrid, the brakes are often applied when the needed deceleration is greater than the regeneration capacity, such as going down a steep, long hill, or when the traction battery is full due to regeneration. The brakes lights no longer need just a foot on the brake pedal.

 

Someone posted else where that lights are controlled by ground?
Think it was under drls, that's why pos is hot all the time?

 

Its switched on the positive side for the brake circuit. Certain of that, because that’s where I tapped my brake controller signal. IDK about the DRL side i didn't spend much time with the meter there.

 

The 2023 Prime has rear LEDs for brake lights, ( the signal light and backup light are still bulbs and can be changed out - which I already did ), not sure if that changes the equation.
