I don't beleive it matters.. they expected me to have the stock wiring harness which I sent when I sold my tail lights, I know- my bad apparently.

I can't get in touch with the fellow I sold my tails to so I need another set.

I wouldn't sell anything that I didn't replace already. Even then, I keep my old stuff just in case something goes wrong. Good luck finding the harness.

Great, man. Thanks for the input. I wasn't able to purchase these without selling mine first. I was under the impression these came with the wiring harnesses.

Please, only respond if you can help me out. Thanks.

So which LED tails did you get? I know the Sonar ones come with their own harnesses because I had them. Can you just get some harnesses from the dealer? Maybe give Carson Toyota a call.

These ones didn't come with the harnesses. I called Lexus of Seattle and they'll have to order them for $44 each tail light... an expense I wasn't expecting to pay.

I'd hit up a junk yard. My buddy owns a junk yard here in Los angeles. if you want, I could ask him if he has any..im pretty sure they have it, because last time i went, they had a pile of gs tail lights in the storage room.

Thats strange. The set of LED tails I bought came with a harness. Maybe they're starting to cheap out now since the lights can be had in the $200 range lol.
