WOOHOOO, its about time, finished putting on the 2000 celica bumper lights on my p5 today. Im not gonna write up an extemsive how-to but here are some pics and ill answer all the questions you guys have so bring em on. Please mods excuse the massive amount of pics, i tried to take into consideration people on modems but i didnt want photo quality to suffer cuz i know a lot of people want to do this mod. So anyways basically what i used to secure the two screws into our empty holes was a very simple washer/nut combination. I tightened it all the way down to secure them and to close up as much gap as possible. I had to take some sand paper to a few parts on the back of the lights but it was pretty easy. just try fitting the lights on and youll easily see which parts you need to sand down. It would be even easier if you had a dremel tool sander but not needed. I used 80 grit paper. i had 320 but i didnt care if it was smooth, its not like you can see it or feel it from the outside. So anyways, theres a little gap and you cant get it completely flush but the gap is so small its not really noticable. i dont think it will matter either if water gets in cuz the light has that rubber seal to the actual housing. So anyways. here it is, got the lights for $30 and the nuts and washers for like 80 cents (USD, hehe). Also, i highly reccomend you change the stock bulb, its and UGLY yellow. like its so hotrrible. I wish i had amber bulbs but whatever im too lazy. Oh yea, another important thing. getting to the passanger side light is a freakin pain. you have to remove the 3 screws on the bottom part of the car and even some of the protector from your wheel well. dont even think about coming down from under your hood. Hope this all makes sense. Bring on the questions...
