Help on clear sides and turns Options

[Athorn]

I have a 95 celica and im looking for clear sides and turns. i found the sides on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-99-TOYOT...sspagenameZWDVW but i cant find the front clear urns for my car. is there a differnece between the lights from a 95, and a 96 and up? Thanks for the help.

[hongkongnerdboy]

yea there is.. i tried from a friends 99 and the shape is different

[Athorn]

That sucks. On ebay the have every year but a 95.

That sucks. On ebay the have every year but a 95.

im thinking we gotta go custom...

[Athorn]

So the 94's and earlier wont fit either? Thats wierd.

[hongkongnerdboy]

well the 94-95 will fit eachother.. but its the 96-99 that doesnt fit ours

[goferris]

the only way to get clear turns on the pre-facelift (94-95 front bumper cover) is to custom make some yourself or buy new lenses from wolfie (member on the site). granted they are kinda pricey but he custom makes them and they are oem quality if not better. a lot of members have them. some people have put 5th gen clear signals in but they don't really fit flush.

makin my own

[D-Man]

Or convert to the bumper

[Athorn]

Sorry if its a dumb question but is the only diffrence between the 94,95 and 96 and up just how the turn signals fit or do they look diffrent.

[GriffGirl]

5th gen turns will fit 94-95 bumpers. Yes, the bumper is different than the "facelift" bumper, which is 96-99.

These are for a 5th gen but will fit our car:

You can also search "Turn Signal" for 199-1993 Toyota Celica in eBay motors, it returned about 20 listings

As goferris kindly pointed out, the only way to get a true OEM look/style is to fit my clear lenses which are a near perfect copy of the originals.

They aren't cheap as they're individually hand cast and then oven cured before trimming,finishing and polishing.

wait,did u have turns when i saw it....i didnt look lol

[trdproven]

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.

[808celica]

wait,did u have turns when i saw it....i didnt look lol

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

[netrata]

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

[808celica]

wait what?? i thought yours were smoked ambers??

[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?

[Athorn]

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.

Hey Snapshotgt,

Thanks for that buddy - just flicked through your rebuild thread.... cracking job you've done there

[Jdog1385]

[808celica]

^^i see toyota logo, so would this mean that cops shouldn't bother us since is OEM material

[808celica]

[CelicaST_CALI]

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

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.

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.

Well I wasn't talking about the turns, I only bought the single set of sides from him....

[supershannon77]

Yes I am sorry I originally thought we were talking about the clear corners I didn't realize you were talking about the side markers my apologies. They will work. I got beat out of the wolfie clear corners at the last minute..Did anyone win from here?

[wolfie308]

Nope it was a girl from Wales who also bought the clear 3rd brake lens ...which reminds me - I must chase up that LED strip which I was promised samples of weeks ago

[808celica]

could we preface lift guys and gals maybe work up some sort of group buy for your clears wolfie????

[Stambo]

i agree with 808, group buy!

[wolfie308]

could we preface lift guys and gals maybe work up some sort of group buy for your clears wolfie????

Hi 808Celica,

Let me say those clears of yours don't look bad at all as a low cost alternative. I've always been curious how water tight they'd be as you have the problem of getting a good seal round the edge, and also the screw hole, which won't meet up with the original post in the backing case.

Regards group buy, I already offer a reduced price to 6gc members of £67.50 for the fronts including amber bulbs, my PayPal costs and shipping worldwide. My website price is £72.50 + shipping. Combined price including the brake lens is £99 delivered, which on it's own is £37.

I have been working with another forum member to offer an LED strip for the brake. Samples were promised weeks ago, but I can't seem to get a response from the guy

Athorn, your fronts went in the post yesterday, so with a bit of luck you might get them by the end of the week.
