Default Cant find a 97+ tail light wiring harness...

So I decided to change my tails to the 97+ tail lights....I went to eBay and bought some brand new ones. They didn't come with the wiring harness and im having a real hard time locating a set of used wiring harnesses. I checked all over the local yards, called them all up, even called junk yards nationwide still with no luck. Even Aliga didn't have a set. It runs about $220 each side if I want to get them new from the dealership which is ridiculous.

Guys got any ideas?

Yeah those are the ones....I figured its worth spending a little more to get brand new ones vs older ones. They really look nice, I cant wait to get them in....im just having trouble finding a harness set.

I had a wiring set shipped to me yesterday that supposedly came off a 00 SC. When I looked at it, it had a total of 7 bulbs, which is from a pre 97 model =\. The 97's and up have a total of 5 bulbs. I guess the hunt for a wiring set continues....

make your own harness, most part stores carry replacement light sockets, it will be cheaper than buying new and it's not that hard make.

$220 what?!

No way.

First off, go to a Toyota dealership.
Tell them this #81555-24070

Its like $25-$30 each from the local Toyota dealership.

If worse comes to worse, go to www.parts.com

search by part number.

use 81555-24070

Select Toyota, NOT Lexus.

It comes up as

Toyota 81555-24070 = $27.55 each
Lexus 81555-24070 = $32.52 each

I accept beer through the mail as a present.
