rear license plate light assemblies

Apparently my driver side license plate light melted the socket. It's enough that it blows new bulbs shortly after inserting them. I tried buying one online, but all the sent is the socket that twists into the lens assembly on the bumper, but mine is melted enough that I can't separate it from the wire harness on the truck.

I can't find this part anywhere! Not online (rockauto, Amazon, ebay, toyota parts sites), not at the junk yard (not a single Tacoma in there), etc.

Does anyone know where I can get everything from the wire behind the bumper to the actual lens on the bumper? I'll cut and splice wires myself before I pay Toyota $120 to fix this issue.

 

I replaced my rear bumper with an allpro so I will see if I kept the old lights. Can you send me a picture of the part you need

 

Cool, thanks man. I was wondering if people with after market bumpers replaced those lights or not.

Basically I need from the wires to the bulb. I'll try to get a picture of it tonight.

 

This is what I need:




The whole damn thing from wires to the plastic assembly. One of the wires corroded out of the plastic plug, and melted some of it too.

 

If the other guy does not have his I still have the driver side assembly. Just send me a PM.

 

Here is what I have. PM sent.

 

Hey guys, I'm in the same boat as piercedtiger and need the passenger side light assembly. If anybody has one laying around, I'd be happy to purchase.

 

I can't believe no one sells these damn things anywhere! You can replace head lights and tail lights, but not these....

 

I made a custom one with an led strip I plugged into the stock lights. My all pro didnt have light mounts.

 

I have mine sitting here from the plug at the pigtail all the way to the lights (LED's) with covers if I can help out.

 

This ^^^^^

 

You guys have pics of your setups?

 

Its a white LED strip spliced in with 2 butt connectors and then zip tied on my tube bumper... It also could be stuck on with the peel n stick backing...

 

Drill the tailgate and use LED bolts.

 

sending you a PM

 

If you can get the bulb socket out of the light go to NAPA. They may be able to help you with a new bulb socket pigtail.

 

my problem is the wire has broken off from the socket right at the base. I've mangled the base trying to repair and solder.

 

I got a pic, now just have to fire up the craptop to get it in here

 

Thanks for the pics guys! I may end up doing that eventually since I want a rear plate bumper eventually too...
