mitchell Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi, during a recent heater matrix install, the fog light switch was lost! It was located below the stereo where there are now just 2 blanking plates and a hole with the 2 wires hanging out! Ive been trying to find a replacement but something that I presumed was simple is proving quite difficult! As there are 2 wires, I presume I just need a 2 pin unit. I had seen some quite cool "Supra" ones on ebay that had a fighter pilot type switch but they are for the mk3. Im not overly fussed about style but just want a switch that does the job and fits nicely in the hole.....anyone have any experience of where to get one?!! As always, help much appreciated!

Marco79 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I used one from a uk spec mr2 which is perfect fitment for the blank and illuminates when your fogs are on looks totally OEM aswell £2 off eBay iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco79 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 That's the one mate it works great, there are 4tabs 2 for illumination of the switch and 2 for the lights, I even swopped the internal bulb for a nice bright red led Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Or you could buy a UK spec right hand panel and OEM UK Supra switch and have a genuine factory look. I then connected up one of the spare warning cluster bulbs to show rear fog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco79 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Is the LED a soldering job or a straight replacement (if so what size) ? It needed a resistor soldering inline as it was a 9v led other than that the legs just pushed into the bulb connections from what I remember mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I have just replaced the bulbs on my UK Spec GT T-Bar Rev2 MR2 fog light switches. I used stock LEDS and soldered in a resistor to allow for the 12v feed. This is the original bulb removed and the LED in place.

Marco79 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Nice work with the pics mate I didn't take any when doing mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Nice work with the pics mate I didn't take any when doing mine Cheers Marco. I forgot to get any with the wires wrapped around the rubber bits and then with the resistor installed. My MR2 is a right old beater. Fun as hell to drive though Not a patch on the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
