Help on clear sides and turns Options

To me the amber is nicer. Its JDM style. Plus the clear ones you make yourself don't look as good as the 96 to 99's.

no i didnt i wish i did but i didnt have any adhesive substance to use

yes the amber looks nice but it would hurt to have clears. especially when i got the signal housings free

One tip regards removing the lenses, I'd suggest only putting one unit in the oven at a time, and placing them on an oven glove rather than a metal tray to reduce chance of damage. When refitting my clears, no extra adhesive is required as they are the exact shape and priofile that they fit perfect using the original mastic left in the groove round the edge.It's a good idea to thoroughly wash the units in warm soapy water and using a small flat screwdriver, poke the remaining mastic evenly down into the channel all round.

If you're as fussy as me, you might like to mask off the edgewith the mastic in and then chrome spray the reflector which will probably look rather dull. This brightens the whole look of the unit and is well worth the trouble IMHO.

I'm just finishing a couple of pairs so I'll post a close up pic later so you can see the detail

thanks wolfie. yeah i did heat up each housing one at a time i just too the pic after i was done. i also did spray the housing with chrome rattle can and just for fun i glue some aluminum foil inside to sort of give a more reflective image. thanks for the advice wolfie

I REALLY recommend those side marker lights from "neondials" I just ordered mine from him off eBay a few weeks ago and installed them...they look great and the packaging I got them in were awesome. Heres a pic of my car with them installed, sorry for size, but its a great wallpaper if you want my car on your desktop

here's an old pic of my celica with Wolfie's clear turn lenses:

[netrata]

Oh I still have the smoke-tinted amber turn signals in the storage. But I installed Wolfie's clear turns almost a year now.

So you bought 94-99 side clear side markers and 90-93 bumper turn signals off the "Neondials" guy?

Im glad to here they fit because i bought some off ebay from him yesterday.

[supershannon77]

Samuria your car is a 97 so you would use different sides then we would. If it worked for you it prob will not for us.

No my turn signals are still OEM. I just bought the clear side marker lights from neondials.

What do you mean? My side markers would fit any year '94-'99, they all had the same side marker lights dont they? neondials add said it would fit all those years, and they are all just plug and play...

[Stambo]

the side markers will fit any 94-99. The actual turn signals wont fit 94-95 cars.
