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 |

I'm not sure what i was thinking when i wrote up about the 3rd break light. I've been doing so much reading and researching on how to make this car pass the safety that my mind is not thinking correctly. The light probably does light up when the brakes are applied without the need to re-wire anything.
As for the sidemarkers on the JDM GT-Four, I was thinking of wiring it up with the wire & bulb from the USDM sidemarkers, but I guess I'd still have to get a DOT stamped cover for it. Doh! Thanks for the info though! |
