JamesC Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I have these on mine! I also thought they were an aftermarket bodge job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I have these on mine, they do look a bit like a halfords job but that is only because you can see the wire. They don't help much, but do look cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 the hardest bit is feeding the cable through the door, then through the rubber boot (which is a pain in the ass) - then... Feed the cable atoms the back of the dash! I've done it once, don't particularly want to do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Would imagine it wouldnt be too hard wiring wise (if you can find the feed running from the door open switch this is), tap a feed off the door open switch, then run it through the door rubber to the inside of the door. To keep it form looking "added on" could drill a small hole in the middle of where you want the lights to sit, then run the wire into the door through that hole and place the light unit on top. Would of course require u to drill a hole in the door and then screwing the light unit itself to the door (as i don't think adhesive would hold it if the wire were to run back under the light) however should look pretty trick when done - no wires visible.

Ewen Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I don't have them either and mine is a Facelift... perhaps it's a VVti thing? Ewan : We demand pictures! pass they where already on mine ;-) http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa34/si706/DSC02599.jpg Mine are the same as supra_si's Mike. I'm sure they were a Toyota optional extra....there was a post some time ago (Nic ?) that had all the official Toyota options available for the Supra. Oh, I remember, it cropped up in the 'what are these squishy wee pad thingies ?' thread. Edit...found it http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=1089655&postcount=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-_-b Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Just one problem wheres the door open switch Yea like Heckler said, at the bottom of the door pillar. Will see if i can take a pic tomorrow when its light if that helps. j_jza, lol i have no idea what those are in that picture.

d-_-b Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 haha wonder if there was/is any sales text with them "especially made for the driver who likes to sit with his legs apart, but without the stress and strain of holding them that way.."

supra_si Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 This is what i did on my old Supra and my MG ZS180.A pain to wire in,but the effect at night was great. dont get me wrong, they look good but arent pointing the right way. they where designed so ppl dont take your door off at night when you open it.

Having some sort of warning to others that your door is open makes sense, but where you had your LED's doesn't make sense as they cannot be seen by other drivers from behind! What purpose did they serve other than a novelty at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
