kniff_666 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hello all, i am asking for some (probably very basic) assistance with my side indicators. I have an import (J-spec) SZ-R with the horrible looking bulging orange side indicators. And i am looking to change for some smoked / crystal black ones. Like the ones here Just a couple of questions: 1. will these fit to a J-spec supra? 2. It says they are not E-approved, but does this really matter? 3. has anyone done this and does it look good? your opinions on whether it would or not (i value the opinions of people on here) cheers guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Easy to change, just clip out. Hold both ends and push right or left then pull the other side back out. The smoked ones will be an MOT fail. Get the crystal ones instead which are E-approved. Smoked are chavvie anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniff_666 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Should be simple replacement tho yeah? Are the bulb fixings and the lense fitment to the body the same as a J-spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kniff_666 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) ok i bought the crystal clear lenses from ebay. (bought them yesterday before i read your post) I hope that they do fit but i am sure that they can be modified to fit the bulbs if necessary.

coza Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Nope still got them sitting around cause they were like 5 quid I got some crystal LED side ones now fitted fine. I couldn't modifie the dark ones because the bulb and the connector was to big . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniff_666 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ok guys quick update. I have fitted these side repeaters to my jap-import SZ-R with no issues at all. (ebay search for TOYOTA SUPRA MK4 CRYSTAL CLEAR SIDE REPEATERS) When i say no issues at all i mean no issues fitting or bulb holder. I did however inadvertently push the bulb and holder inside the panel at one point (i could have cried!) and spent 20mins fishing it back out. Just remember kids that a wire coat hanger has many uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Remember to keep your old ones just in case you have E-mark MOT issues with the others as you know that OEM issue ones are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Whifbitz sells the genuine toyota clear ones comes with bulbs just ready to clip on and as they are genuine there is no MOT worries http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-supra-lighting-toyota-p-1497.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniff_666 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Remember to keep your old ones just in case you have E-mark MOT issues with the others as you know that OEM issue ones are fine Made sure to keep the original ones. ATM running with the orange bulbs but have bought the chromed ones from ebay today. My supra is starting to look a bit more like how i imagine in my head now. Just want to change the headlights (to UK glass spec) and maybe put a front grill on it (not decided yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I managed to get hold of 06 celica side indicators, the OEM from the car for 99p on ebay. This is another option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
