    I just went over this with element in pictures. I guess I can copy and paste them here. You undo the two bolts holding the tails on, then pop it off, then pull at the wires to un plug the wire plug then un clip the harness, clip harness onto new light, clip harness into car side then pop light on and two bolts on.

    Sorry. I'm a visual learner lol. You can explain it to me until you are blue in the face and the chances of me FULLY understanding are quite slim. Now if pics or video are involved I will be better off.

    Really easy, go remove the tail light housing but instead of unplugging all the lights individually, pull the cord from the body/quarter panel and you will see the clip. Gimme a minute and I'll try and add you into the conversation I have all the pictures in. It's very easy I swear.

    Basically, my gripe was "I don't want to yank this wire out of the hole and break anything!!"
    And mertech is like, "Don't worry, there's lots of room for the wire to come out and it'll be ok!"

    Basically, there ended up being less wire than I remembered but yep a good few inches. Just pull consistently and slowly the wire's rubber grommet easily comes out and goes back in. I will also join him to the convo, just can't from tapatalk.

    I ordered from toyotapartznet.com
    Use the 10% coupon they give you if you're a new customer and they also offer free shipping to orders over $100.

    Haha stick with the old ones! Personally I can't stand the circle. It makes it look so dated.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to install the aftermarket tail lights from the previous years on a 2015 Prius C?

    I wouldn't see why not but my only question would be about the wiring harness. Since the new Cs have a new taillight the wiring harnesses are different.

    The aftermarket taillights come with their own harnesses as well.

    The toyotapartznet.com site does not have a picture as to what you are buying for a 2015 Prius C "passenger side" tail light assembly. Anybody know the "EXACT" part number, so I can shop with a little more confidence online?
