I love how they integrated the placement of the DOT required bumper reflectors. I will plan on illuminating them like I did on my old WRX hatchback if possible. This was one of my favorite non-performance mods and was easy and cheap.

Edit, deleted the info in this post- which had lights for hatchback, that would not fit GR.

See post #14 for ebay link for GR.
ooo nice, id probably set them as rear fog lights since they're that low
Found these, not sure if GR uses same reflectors....

at that price it's totally worth trying. I'm sure a little digging into the parts catalogs we could find the answer.

@centerpunch I have seen you post part schematics on other threads. Are these from TIS? or can you get them for free elsewhere? I did a quick search but couldn't find any service manuals for free online.

Here are the part numbers for the XSE hatchback. they do not have the GRC listed yet on the genuine parts website.

See this thread, the title made me think it was for non-GR, but turns out GR is included.

Read through the comments, some folks (including me) had problems with extracting, but seems to work for most folks.

Thanks. Every cyber security alarm in my head was going off with these files but they did work. here are what i found. I can't tell for sure but the reflectors don't look the same. they have the same names but look slightly different.

there are a few people with access to 2023 p/n, i use toyodiy.com but they only have 2022 access so far. they do look different.
They look totally different. I wonder if they might be a reflector used on another Toyota, rather than a one-off for this low volume car only.
check out the sedan rear reflector! one passed me and it looks similar to ours bc of the wide body

Nice! now for the hard part... getting a car to use these on. 😭
seems pricey, what's the price of the OEM ones? I'd rather diy them for that price...
Thank you for the link. Just ordered.
$40 seems pricey?
for LEDs, yeah.. I have some lying around that I can DIY
Uh, two injection-molded housings, two injection-molded lenses, two circuit boards, each with 24 smd LEDs, and the manufacturer has to make a couple bucks, ship them to US, then the retailer has to give probably $10 of the $40 to ebay and paypal. $40 is VERY cheap.

In my opinion, that is.
