a98pmalcolm Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I haven't done it myself but I was under the impression its a plug and play job like the rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I think the bulb holders are a slightly different size and need to be filed down a little iirc. Other than that, straight swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thread somewhere, but as on the iPhone and not laptop. Can't find it. From memory a small segment needs filed away. Then it's a straight fit.

Supra Gaz Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Cheers all, brilliant news, I am looking forward to putting my car back together. I will have bits and bobs for sale in a bit as well, my shed us fit to burst with parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Don't forget no sidelights in the facelifts. Need facelift indicators or maybe wire side lights up to the fogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If you have the ebay jobbies you can do it without the looms which saves about £50 but you have to cut nearly all the hole where the bulb goes in out whereas if you have the new looms you only have to trim a little bit down as in the guide, It might be wise to cap off the sidelight or double indicator hole if you are doing this without looms as to prevent water and condensation and small animals and children getting in there to live out the rest of their existences. Feel free to send me a pm that I will ignore if you need any help, Actually while I am here how do you open the bonnet as I finally found out you can use either a key or release mechanism for the boot but so far all I can do to get under the bonnet is use a crowbar. Any help accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Pre-facelift/facelift headlights are a straight swap, you will need to fit facelift indicators as well though otherwise you would have no sidelights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah, I believe the filing requirement is between UK spec and J-Spec rather than facelift and Prefacelift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
