Heyo,
Just a quick question here. I'm in the process of buying a GT-Four from Alberta, and driving it back to British Columbia. Now, I need to get the car to pass a safety inspection in BC before I get any insurance coverage, and one of the many stipulations is that (as you may know), a bunch of lights have to be DOT approved. My plan is to source out a few items from a North American '94 Celica, whatever model I can find, and transplant them onto my future GT-Four. The items are: - Headlights, both high & low beam - sidemarker lights - 3rd break light. Now I've searched and perused many-a-posts, and read up on these two articles, but am not sure whether it answered my questions. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=71851&hl= http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76907 My main question is, will transplanting these lights work, and will the wiring be a quick and easy 'plug n play' ? Thanks for your time, Jeebus |

If the GT-Four has the standard headlights and not the projectors the USDM will be a direct swap. Eh, side-markers will be a problem. USDM have the side-markers next to the turn signals where as JDM have them closer to the door. The thing to do there would be to get USDM fenders if the JDM ones won't pass inspection. As far as the third brake light goes I'm not sure what you're needing? All the ones I've seen have the third light. I know some European Celicas don't have them, in that case rather or not the wiring is there I don't know. Worst case scenario you would use the taillights to trigger a relay that'd operate the third light.
