Josh Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I have done a search but haven't come up with a definitive answer. I've bought some facelift front indicators (thanks Dean) and wondered whether to either buy facelift looms and chop those (as per the guide; http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?31633-How-To-Fit-facelift-front-indicators) or to use the existing looms to make them fit. Also, for the side repeaters, can you just buy clear covers and get some orange bulbs? I can't seem to find information on changing those over. Final question, what do you all think looks better, two indicator lights each side, or an indicator and a side light? Any help is much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLEAR-Toyota-Celica-Corolla-MR2-RAV4-Starlet-Supra-TTE-Side-Repeaters-Indicators-/370585841455?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5648a32f2f#ht_3288wt_1054 I used these for my sides and they were a quick swap over and look great and for my ebay front facelifts I just had the new holder pretty much fully chopped out to fit my old existing bulb holder and got some newer orange bulbs, Only downside is without the looms you cannot have dual indicators or sidelights so just blocked the hole up with a coin to prevent that section filling up with water but sadly my mate never sprayed the coin black so at a really close look you can see two 1p coins in my facelifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Get chrome bulbs too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Whiftbitz do the OEM side lamps... http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-lighting-toyota-p-11426.html I just ordered mine from Mr T, came with the bulbs.. For the front indicators you should buy two looms as the fittings are different, You can bodge it to fit, but I personally did not want to hack up my new indicators and later I fitted facelift headlamps so I needed the side light.. I tried two indicators, the colours were ever so slightly different, it annoyed the hell out of me..(OCD at its finest).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RA28 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Get yourself some of these; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180654624349 and these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250900389651 you will need to enlarge the T20 slots on the new light units, very easy with a stanley knife. A bit of soldering and you have wedge bulb holders for a fraction of the cost of new looms. I also cut the passenger side connector at the elbow to modify it for the new holders; I piggy backed the smaller T10 wedges of the main T20s so I have a spare/extra set of indicator bulbs. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Mine came with slightly modified housing, so the old pre-facelift bulb holder would fit inside. Can't be that difficult to modify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Or do away with the front ones altogether Have you modded the indicator into the side light of the main headlight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RA28 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The only downside was being patient while the holders were shipped from Hong Kong, but they are really good quality and only took a couple of hours to do the job. You should be able to see in the first picture where I cut out elongated slots for the T20 holders to fit. The smaller T10s went straight in with no mods.
