Is it me or am I seeing my OLD pic up there??

By law were SUPPOSED to have orange indicators BUT it looks quite nice in white, quite hard to tell there wrong as there nice in bright. Might just roll with them as is and see if I get done :P

The late model MR2's (1996 upwards) don't have them....just the plain strip like I have put in. Im THINKING about adding some of the small oval clear one's up near the door later on :)

Cheers. Nah I bit the bullet & brought a new set, worked out to $74.97 BP's shipped to my door. I'll end up selling the one I have hopefully as a pair when I find a drivers side, so still keep ya eye's peeled but it's no longer crucial :)

I found one at our local wreakers but they want $41.25 GBP's just for the one side & I'll be lucky to get $75 for a 2nd hand pair.

looks great!

i've just ordered some of those clear crystal fronts myself and some white side repeaters :D

p.s that Tom's bumper is just awesome!

Just a thought as I did this with my old XR3i. If you can't fint orange bulbs then try a model shop as you can buy clear orange paint for detailing indicators on model cars. Paint up the clear bulbs and let them dry and voila....orange indicators.

Don't apply thick coats and allow to dry fully before a second coat and fitting to car. The paint will also wear quicker then factory orange bulbs but it does work well.

My pet hate is white indicators. Nothing more annoying in my book than a white indicator flashing on the car in front. I think cars should fail the MOT more on this as it is an actual MOT failure.

Back to yourcar though....looks superb, I love it.

[shaf2000]

very nice dude.

looks smooth, love it

U dnt want orange indicator bulbs man, get silver bulbs, they'll look alot nicer, so you don't get the fried egg look init. Or you could try the new style LED bulbs. If you still dnt have any luck, you could ask someone over here to send you some init, got any relatives over in UK?

[Karma Supra]

Even the petrol stations sell orange bulbs mate!!!!

I have the silver line ones in my supra, they look silvery blue, but they light up orange...

plain orange tint bulds in clear lights give a "fried egg" look!!!

I'll see if I can find a piccy!

[james1760]

nice :) looks far better with clear

[ricomr2]

Looking good mate

[KiwiMR2]

Cheers guys :)

I did find some silver coated orange bulbs which would have been PERFECT but you know how there are 2 small metal dot's that are on the side of the base...the one's that hold the bulb in when you push & turn.....well the one's I need the dot's are directly across from each other (like quarter to 3 on a clock)....EVERY orange bulb I could find those bit's were not directly across from each other, they were like ten to 3 on a clock. When I did finaly find some led one's they needed to be 12v 21w but they were 12v 7w. I queryed the shop guys as to weather because they were led they may be brighter than traditional bulbs hence the lower wattage?? they all said "yep", got them home...tried them & they were wayyyyyy to dim....could hardly see them blinking!! So yeah...no luck in that sense. My last ditch efforts were 2 gas stations on the way home...they had NO orange one's at all.

What we do over here when we fit the clear corners in place of the orange (which require the quarter to 3 pins) is use the old bulbholder and file off one of the pins on the ten to 3 type bulbs. They fit a treat then.

looks good mate. Same as me, with no side repeaters.

I was sure your car had more bodykit on it tho?.. obv not.

jaseb00 ... you can get them from toyota, but they ARE expensive. mine were about £40 per side!
