[FLSilverP5]

I want a set
how much?

 

[AlturredMP5]

$30 includ. shipping on ebay. arrived yesterday, installed today.

the two smaller squares on the inside of the bumper dont fit the 2 small squares on the back of the lens. Should i dremel the back of the lens or the bumper or what? help pls

i snapped all those tabs off, anything that was not need got razored off and still i cut into the car body to make it fit better. also putting a rubber seal around it will make it fit better as it doesn't curve exactly to the car.

lol i never have an easy mod. I sawed my lenses, i drilled my bumper, i got superglue all over my bumper (anyone know how to get this off?). it doesnt look clean at all. The celica lenses were like 2 mm too short. I am a true dumbass. But at least i am the example for everyone else of what not to do! (monkey)

I just had mine shaved off. The body shop charged me $50 and then $200 to paint the bumper, took all of 3 days total. Im not all that keen on having all that crome stuff hanging on my car. Did the headlights black too.

 

[FLSilverP5]

really where did u find a body shop to do it?
Pics?

[trbomp5]

I bought my car totaled and then rebuilt it myself. The body shop that did the painting for me, also did the bumper and lights, but they were about a month later, as I had a hard time finding a bumper. they just "welded" in a fill piece, then smoothed it over, voila! No more ugly a$$ lights! My car is dirty right now but Ill still post the pic of with lights gone

 

[trbomp5]

O and the car was WAY worse than the picture makes you believe. I had to replace the entire front left side framing, door frame and windshield frame. And of course, suspension, doors, windshield, fender, hood, light, bumper, motormounts, and 1/2 axle

Is the celica marker lights the same size as the orange reflectors? Does it leave a spot that has to be buffed out? Also, how did you wire the lights? Directly to the signal lights?

man thanks alot they look sick, i was gonna get the ones they sell at mazda they're 160 bux!

okay so i bought bumper lenses clear ones, and i the only prob is, is that the back of the lens isnt the same as the stock ones, which means i need to do a lil snip snip to the bumper, how do u guys presume i do so?, thanks!

just get in there with a razor utility knife and start cutting away in angles until the pegs go through easy. it will be covered up anyways so theres nothing to lose.

I widdled down the pegs on the back of the lights and didn't touch the bumper. Try that. That way you don't mess up the bumper and if you mess up the clear bumper lights you can always order another set or put the OEM ones back in.

Did anyone get them from local dealers like auto zone or pep boyz???
