The main dealer ones £75 with harness may do BUT they are still orangey, I have searched ebay and cant lind any American ones listed, any ideas chaps ??? the main dealer is probably quoting you for the UK spec indictors which are only pre-facelift and, as you say orange. just order them from Nic mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 How do you mean thery're still orangey mate? The orange bulbs inside or actual hald orange tinted lenses? Spray the bulbs if that's the problem. That's what I'm gonna do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm gonna do. the uk ones apparently still have an orange insert inside, i have seen Niks in previous threads and they look really orange, I emailed Nik but as of yet he hasnt got back to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 How strange - I've just got out of my car, looked at my indicators and thought : they are quite orange, clear ones would be nicer. Then I saw this thread. However - I have a facelift car - so I think my indicators are "clear"? The plastic front does look clear - but it looks like they have an orange background. And the side repeaters are orange. I've seen threads suggesting I can get clear side repeaters - but I think I might already have "clear" fronts?

Guest DEREHAM SUPRA Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 they cant supply the wiring loom, going to toyota this afternoon to find out a price and order it, my indicators arrived yesterday all original toyota parts, the clear side side repeaters are off a celica i think, it looks as as if it might be a right PITA to get them to fit though, but it`ll be worth it when it`s done.

Dave I think you can get the side repeaters from Halfords, otherwise I think they are the same unit on Celicas and other moders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you let me know how you get along with the harness , how much is the wiring harness and do you know the part number? I know the indicators from Toyota are £75 and are really quite orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Dave I think you can get the side repeaters from Halfords, otherwise I think they are the same unit on Celicas and other moders. Facelift side repeaters are very different to pre-facelift ones. The front indicators have an orange backing which makes them look orange from the front but clear from the side. http://home.css-networks.com/indicators/1.JPG http://home.css-networks.com/indicators/2.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If the orange background bothers you, you can open them up and unscrew it then reseal them. A more brutal approach is to get a set of long pliers and crunch out the orange parts inside. Then get some silver bulbs that flash orange.

Also are they easy to open up or do you have to break the seals etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Also are they easy to open up or do you have to break the seals etc Mine are the OEM facelift Toyota lights. I put them in the oven for a couple of minutes to heat up the sealant, when it was hot enough i prised them apart, unsrewed the orange reflector and then resealed them. Get windscreen sealant / adhesive for the job. Pretty easy really just don't forget about them or they will end up like bananas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
