silvasurfa Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I'm struggling to find a definate answer with a search so i'm after some help! I have just bought the genuine Toyota clear front indicators from Whifbitz- Are they a straight swap for the amber ones? My Supe is a 1994 jspec. I would physically have a look but my cars not accessible for a bit and as soon as it is I want to fit the lights... Do I need anything else to fit these or are they a straight swap? Thanks in advance and sorry if I can't see what's right in front of my face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Not a direct swap no. You need the wiring harnesses unless your going to chop into the wiring to hook them up. On a stock bumper i would imagine you will need to drill maybe 1 or 2 new holes for the bolts to go through. (I ground the third one off as i coulndt see why it needed 3 bolts) No biggie at all though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I am probably the most incapable person on this forum!!! I'll take you up on that challenge And I did mine with no problems, there is a how-to on here somewhere, complete with photos and diagrams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The link above explains how to fit the non-genuine front indicators I believe, which is slightly different, as they come without harnesses and have different bulb holders. On the genuine OEM Toyota indicators (see photo attached), only one comes with a harness. This is because on the facelift Supras, one plugs directly into the main wiring loom and the other has a short harness to link to the loom. There are 2 alternatives when wiring the indicator/sidelights in: 1. Buy an extra harness (around £15 from Toyota there, £10 from here), although the bulb holders on the left and right indicators are a different fit, so the lugs on the bulb holder need to be trimmed to fit the opposite side, this is quite a simple job to do. 2. Fabricate your own harness by soldering wires onto the bulb holder. Either way the opposite end of the wires needs to be spliced onto the harness that go to the sidelights, which on the pre-facelift model are in the headlights. Also the facelift indicator/sidelights have a different bolt fitting onto the bumper, so a hole will need drilling on each side of the bumper, again quite a simple job.

silvasurfa Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Right, cheers for your help so far everyone- The thing is, the ones I have are the genuine OEM Toyota ones, like Nic has mentioned- I bought these, as from what I could make out I didn't need any other bits, it seems I was wrong! Does anybody know of a link specific to fitting OEM clear Toyota indicators to a stock 1994 Jspec supe? This, it seems, is what I really need?

Does anybody know of a link specific to fitting OEM clear Toyota indicators to a stock 1994 Jspec supe? This, it seems, is what I really need? The genuine facelift headlights and rear lights are a straight forward, plug and play swap. The indicator/sidelights are not though, because on the pre-facelift Supra the sidelighits were located inside the headlights, so the wiring is a little different. Don't remember ever seeing a guide to fitting the genuine indicator/sidelights on here, it is a relatively easy job to fit them though. If you remove your old indicators you should see what I mean about the holes in the bumper. Then it's just a case of splicing into the right wires for the side lights and indicators.

Dragonball Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have done a couple of these boys - really quite simple (even for a numpty like me!) You can get the looms here http://miami-gt.com/product_info.php/products_id/620?osCsid=1e8df357e20de0b0e3141839f72fb68e And if you want please give me a shout - or pop over if nearby Rgds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvasurfa Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks everyone and cheers Paul, I'll bare you in mind if I get stuck! Had a chat with my pops and he seems to think that soldering some bits shouldn't be a problem, probably gonna go down that route when I do the fog conversion...

Nic, In your picture, is the one with the harness for the drivers side, or passenger side? Is the part number of the harness: 81515-14390 Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Nic, In your picture, is the one with the harness for the drivers side, or passenger side? Cheers I *think* it's the drivers side but not 100% sure. If it helps the indicator with the harness is the right way up in the pic, the other one is upside down. If you're not sure which is which, they may have an L and R moulded into the black plastic back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 If it's the right way up, I can confirm that the harness goes on the drivers side. Looks like I'm going to need to buy a new harness - loose connections... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nic,thanx my front indicators, arrived today:D .If I just buy another wiring loom from Toyota will I be able to just plug it into the passenger side after I've trimmed the bulb holders as you explained?

IDO Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi done mine a few weeks back (93 jspec) and used this link http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=31633 if you read this it should work, well i managed to do it and i am not to great around cars!!!

Cheers Ant Hi Ant Great If you buy another harness (the same part as the other side) you will need to trim the tabs/slots on ONE of the bulb holders. If you tray swapping them around you will see what I mean. Part number for the harness is 81515-14390, here is the EPC diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntD Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Thanx peeps.I'll have a go at fitting it in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDO Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Ummm.... Mine are Genuine Toyota indicators. But as i said not too great with the car as yet (trying to learn honest!), but it seemed to be pretty straight forward.. If you go buy what Nic said, you'll probably be better off!, But as in the link I went the way of double side lights and it does look quite good IMO..
