I saved the link to this message from 2005; don't know if Sears still has this carrier or if it would be the same, but it give you something to check out.

Havent found in the aftermarket either. If you find any, let us know.
(I think I am the only person on Earth who loved the front of the Tribeca, but not the rear. The 08 redesigned front is boring.)
Try the internet for aftermarket clear replacements. They will be pricey, if they exist. Be sure they conform with your state and local lighting requirements.

Seriously though this car is not the demographic that will really have aftermarket tail lights like that. You find them mostly for hondas and neons that appeal more to the boy-racer crowd.

2nd: I have had posts similar to yours pulled from the Edmunds Diesels in the News discussion site, and then all my subsequent criticism of the host pulled as well.
3rd: I am not the one who asked the question about the lights - I was making a suggestion on how to find them.
4th: The site below says they are available, but then they do not list them. The original poster may want to make a call to the company.

I don't like 'em either, but some folks clearly do.

Do you really think that the Lexus RX buyer really cares that much? I mean this is lexus, aka toyota. I'm willing to bet that less than 15% of the owners even know they have clear tail lights on it.
-mike
Not that it would be a deal breaker, but I don't really like 'em.
Like you said, if you dish it out, be ready for a response.
But you aren't a typical Toyota/Lexus owner, you actually care if the car has a soul.
-mike
I have my Miata, wife has her Subaru, and then the kids pretty much own the van.
Heck there are some Toyota non-car folks that I know who weren't sure if they had a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord when I asked what they drove!
-mike
I care more about how it drives, not how it looks! :shades:
Edit: in the case of the van, how it rides, more so than how it drives.
My wife drives this car and has one major complaint, the arm rest on both sides is useless. Here arms (and mine when I drive) don't even get anywhere close to the arm rests. What the hell was Subaru doing and does anybody have any suggestions on fixes? I fear that driving this car may lead to a lot of fatigue as a result.
Strangely- after a year of ownership, I kinda' forgot all about this difference.
Think of the extra 'strength training' that you'll get
You'll enjoy washing it as looks so beautiful when it's clean.
Cars are an emotional purchase, not a practical one. Go with what makes you happy. You won't regret it.
I've got the titanium silver. Hides the dirt well, but frankly- it doesn't look nearly as sharp as the Black.
How exactly do these sensors work? How close would the object have to be before it makes a sound? It seems like it would make a sound every time in a parking lot when backing up.
It wouldn't help me if it went off every time I put my vehicle in reverse. I would expect it to really alert me to an object I could not see in my mirrors.
I am not fond of high pitched sounds. Is the sound annoying? I read that there is more than one sound option on these. Are they both high pitched? Is there a sound level adjustment?
They will be available late summer for the 2009 Forester. I was told it will be the same as the ones installed on the Tribeca before the backup camera was available.
Does anyone else have the Subaru reverse sensors? If so, please read the first post.
Thanks

The body shop guy told me about the clear hood and fender protectors...this is better than the "bra" that some cars use. I've seen the films online that are clear...do they make a hard shell? Has anyone gotten these to protect their front ends? This also will help with bug stains as well as it gets really buggy down here.
Anyone have any luck with these? Did you install it yourself? I also want to put some door bumpers on my car as people keep dinging me and I'm going to get those fixed too. This will be the 2nd time I'm getting dings fixed!!!
I would also get it professionally installed. It really looks BAD when done by a non-pro.

I'm looking for something to go on the door edge like my Accord has, protects when the door swings wide, the rear doors on the Tribeca have a particulary sharp edge.
Body color would be nice (diamond grey for me)..

Hopefully these pics will come up
This was my second time I've had to get ding removal and they are always high up. Seems like everyone here in South FL loves big old cars.
We just purchased a new 2008 Tribeca (2/26/09) and so far are very happy. We take several road trips per year and like to have a clothes hanging rod across the rear end of the cargo area. There are what appear to be access plugs near the hatch opening in a position that would allow hanging of a rod.
Do these "pop" out? If so, what's behind them?
Thanks!

where can i get best price for a set of crossbars for this model

please reply with cc to netcommuner at gmail dot com
I found the fuse that supplies the outlets but the power goes through a relay between the fuse and the outlet that interrupts power when the ignition switch is not on.
Thanks,
