JamesC Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Are the facelift bumpers different to the pre-facelift ones? I've just bought some diamond cut indicators which are for a facelift thinking that they would fit, but errmm dont. The bumpers still look the same though. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alan.calverley1/sup/indicators.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I believe that the fixings are different, and there does appear to be a very subtle difference in shape bwteen the two bumpers. You can see it in the bottom edge of the radiator hole. The facelift is more "smiley" Plenty of peole have fitted facelift indicators to non-facelift cars so it must be do-able.

JamesC Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 They didnt have any orange caps on just orange bulbs. Got them on Ebay, sent from America. Where they exactly the same from Toyota? didnt know you could get them, how much are they from Toyota? They cost me quite a bit after paying for postage and tax etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I saw these on ebay recently for £40 or was there a twist in the tail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 i cant remember what the auction price was of the indicators, but i thought it was only another $19 for shipping. this turned out to be $34 plus £22 for tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem with them is not the item but the suppliers, it's a bit hit and miss as to whether you actually get them or not. If you want to remove the orange cap then the details of how to do it are on my web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to remove the orange cap then the details of how to do it are on my web site. just noticed your way of removing the orange cap. ive just done it another way. i cut the screw off from the rear of the unit so that the cap falls into the light. then through the bulb hole cut it up using small side cutters. worked a treat:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, this wouldn't be ProCarParts would it? Exactly the same thing happened to me. On the auction it quotes one price, but once I'd won it the bloke said the shipping would be more.

JamesC Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 HAHA, yeah it was ProCarParts. Took quite a while for them to send them, and they always take days to reply to e-mails too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I got some all clear ones off Ebay..... nicejdmparts was the seller I think.. 50quid to the door Had to modify them to take the existing bulb holders.... but was painless 15min job I had to hoover the swarf out of them tho'! I then got some orange 21w indicator bulbs and gave them a coat of silver to avoid 'fried egg ' syndrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
