accent lights, projectors Options

[Shigexile]

this is where i got my information (click me)

i messaged presure2 about this and he said he cut the connectors out of a 5th gen turn signals. my question, does the 5th gen turn signal come with the plastic thing on the end that snaps into the accent light for the projectors? or is this the so called "male connectors" i need to buy at autozone?

this will help me a lot. i don't want to install the projectors w/out getting those lights working (pain taking of bumper twice)

took a few pics, if you would like more please let me know. click to make larger. sorry if some of them are blurry, its cold out so i was shaking a bit.

heres a shot of the whole assembly i have



here's a shot of just the terminal, what it looks like, and also a size comparison.





and when all together this is it lit with an led



theres an electronic store near me that has these, not too sure exactly what they are called, i just was browsing the store one day and picked 4 of these up. think they were like 10 cents of something each

edit:

I just plugged my sidemarker lights into those spots. They fit if you just modify one small tab on the socket. I figured that they do the same job and the car looks better without sidemarkers anyways .

as i thought, if you get a 2nd set of socket & harness for the side markers (toyota dealer if desperate) just use that. ill take a low off and take pictures as a comparison then get back on here.

bent one is 6th gen side marker, straight is the socket that comes with projectors



yellow based led is 6th gen side marker, white is socket that comes with projectors



as you can see they are very close. the side marker harness does not just plug into the projector socket... there are those fins on the outside of that socket that dont allow it to just slide in. i imagine if you file them and leave the bump that clips it in it would work.

imo... getting the lil female terminals that i used for under $1 is easier than messing around with different sockets and harnesses that you still need to splice in. only problem is finding them in your area.
