how much work goes into swaping toyota cav tail lights on a 97 chevy cav?
do they just bolt up and plug in or is there more?

not a direct bolt on. you need to do some wiring.
here are the directions.
dont ask me if it works tho..i havent tried it yet. i was planning on it tho(:
How To Wire Them:
1 ) take a t-25 torx and and unscrew 3 torx head bolts under the steering
wheel colum
2 ) take the t-25 torx and undo the top torx for the trun signal switch
3 ) use a 7mm(9/32) wrench ans undo the bolt to the left of the steering
wheel for the turn siganl switch , and remove the switch
4 ) remove the top plug(as looking at it installed to colum)
5 ) remove the white tab lock
6 ) in the slot there should be a white wire , use test light or volt meter
to verify that its the brake light wire
7 ) remove this wire from the plug and tape it off , you'll need a small
screwdriver or something to go through the small slot under the plugto
release the lock tab
8 ) go to trunk , and pull both sides of trunk carpet down to axcess the
lights
9 ) pull the plug from outer light , and use small pick to undo lock tab ,
and push in on terminal lock tabs and remove the wires from the plastic
connector
10 ) do the same on the toyota lights plug , the black goes to black , brown
to brown , the yellow(factory left wire) to light blue of toyota taill , and
green (factory right wire) to light blue of toyota tail
11 ) now cut and splice white wire at 3rd barke light(location differers I
did mine at the 3rd brake light plugs where my 3rd used to be) and run the
white wire to the left and right side of the car , and tap those into the
white wires at the toyota lights
12 ) test system , everything should work as designed
good luck
someone did a how to w/pics.
JDM tail lights in a 97 cav, hmmmmmm, not to hard....
dont let the instructions scare you its actually really really easy!!!! once you do it youll say to your self "damn that was easy"
simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas
and theres a set on ebay, wish I had the $$$
i have them ordered already, just waiting for them to be shipped over.
thanks for the instructions. so i guess it would take like 30min or so to do all that.
it didnt sound hard at all other than finding the wires.
