 it looks a lot better in person, but there you go. The bulbs came from Culpable, the lenses came from 1sttoyotaparts.com and were only $3.41 each. The part number for the lenses is 81231-0C010. All you need is a small flathead screwdriver. it took me less than 5 minutes to do both sides. it really is the easiest mod i've done to the celica ever! --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

These last few messages has to be the funniest thread I've read in a while!
Makes me glad I have an SX (the Oz equivalent of a GT). I may change them also if I feel so inspired over the holidays.  And if you ST owners were really keen you could always install some lights yourself. But trust me, courtesy lights are overrated  Actually, I've been considering modding my roof mounted courtesy light so it does that cool fade off a couple of seconds after you close the door... |

You'd need to use LEDs to control the output but I bet they have something that could do that for you so you don't have to get crafty with the soldering iron. ya get it? crafty, like arts and crafts, haha i hate myself -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom. He keeps telling us we're dark somethings and not his friends."
"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

I thought you meant the other one. You know, the awkward one.... But I'm quite happy to get tricky with a soldering iron. I think you can do something with a large-ish capacitor. I'll do some thinking..... |
