Side Markers - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yarisik · 09-29-2006, 03:45 AM

Hi, this is my first post. Thanks for all the wealth of information on all the other posts! Has anyone changed the color of the amber side markers yet? I pulled it out and its a whole housing(glued together). I want to change the little bulb to Hyper white instead. Per the manual it says you need to change the whole housing. I am going to try to put my heat gun to it to melt the glue...hope I don't mess it up haha...I also want to drill another hole and install another bulb in there so I can turn on my lamps all the time since it only blinks when you signal. Or I can just splice into the bulb and keep the light on. We'll see.

Welcome to the forum.

The heat gun is a bit messy.

where would i get a replacement side marker housing?

I've always wanted to do that. Splitting up the housing is a little risky since I'm afraid water will get in. Yaris is a new car so there's still not much aftermarket accessories but who knows if you wait a little longer you can just buy the the whole cover with the bulb. Post your result if you are successful though. Good Luck.
