    Isn't it cheaper to install LED strips along the back?

    The strips are cheaper and will get you there, but do they look like they belong?

    The inserts are more expensive and will also get you there and they look like they belong.

    Ah yes. It's the age old debate over Style, or substance.

    Hmmmmmm....

    The led strips would work, but why, these look oem when installed. And really, I thought they where cheap and free shipping. What more can you ask for...

    Those liftback LEDs are great! Someone start a new thread if there's going to be a group buy or something. I want a set. Makes you wonder why Toyota put those holes in the liftback but never used them? I'm not a fan of removing panels in my car because they'll never be as tight and squeak free again but this might be worth it.

    those panels are also made for accessing the license plate bulbs.. I've taken a bunch of panels off various cars.. As long as you make sure all the clips are ok.. They usually fit back right into place.

    Just like xliderider said, Google it. Heck,(being polite), that's how I found Priuschat.
    I would say more pure white, even tho, I would've preferred a little tint of blue to match the other leds. Nice part is, they wire into the rear light. So they only come on when you open the hatch.

    Thx. I have the iJDMToys LED interior kit so was concerned they would be too different in color.

    Looks like I might pull the trigger on these (y)

    is $85 worth it ?

    haha, yes !! I rather spend $85 on these than $120 on the 3rd brake lamp ><

    btw, I was able to find a japan supplier for the Garax 3rd stop led lamp, costs around $180 shipped though :( but that thing is super bright !!!

    Maybe it's just free shipping to the United States? I still think it's a great deal.

    Ok guys, my bad…. I guess I was so happy when I got a tracking #. And not a call from my credit card company saying that my bank account was clean out, that I didn’t notice, I too was charged for shipping. But on the bright side, the shipping was fast. Again, sorry for the bad info.
