Tricky-Ricky Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I presume you have a face lift or aftermarket bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 dead easy all you need to do is drill an extra hole in the front bumper and wire the side lights down to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Much easier to do it on the car, removing the bumper is a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 There are quite a few guides. Here is the best one IMO: http://www.i-macca.co.uk/temp/How%20...indicators.doc The hardest part was removing the nut on the outer side of the drivers side orange blob (took me ages - it was proper seized). I went for the drilling the extra hole option in the bumper (more stable). If it wasn't for the tricky nut, this is an easy sub one hour job. Deffo keep the bumper on.

turbonut Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi Paul As your supe is a prefacelift you will need to get facelift wiring looms from Mr T I have the part number at home and can get it to you later, unless someone else can chip in meanwhile The looms need some cuting and soldering and you will have to remove your headlights to get reasonable access. You will also find an extra bolt on the side of the indicator unit that needs removing - just unscrew it. There are guides for fitting facelift indicators which I found here on the forum, with pics have a search as they are very useful. My knowledge of electronics is limited but even I could do it!! If there is no undertray under your bumper, you can put the supe on axle stands, pull back the covering in front of your wheels and grovel around underneath to reach the fixings better. Its fiddly but fun Good luck! Linda x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 it took about 15 mins max to do the job and bumper on take old ones out push new ones in to make a mark on the bumper to see where you need to drill, then extend the wires from the side lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Easy mate, although watch out for the soldering iron as it works too damn well on items of clothing! It took me about 2-3 hours, in the rain mind, but that was with some perfection wiring and soldering going on and wired into the sidelights too. As mentioned above, that guide is certainly BEST. Good luck. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
