Correct, except for the trunk.. Liftbacks need a festoon LED replacement.

I have to ask, now that you have the new bulbs in, how do you like the look? They are so bright in the photos that it's hard to tell what they really look like.

Didnt... only because everything else, as seen in the pic's, is amber/orange... I dont plan on changing so these are being replaced with HiLEDS 194 amber led's.

Galavoxx · 03-04-2007, 11:06 PM

Cool. I think I would rather stick with the amber rather than go white, which is part of why I asked. Amber LEDs would look nice and bright.

I might give this a try. Thanks for the great write-up.

Ok made a vid of it....very plain just recorded haha.

*Chris07LB* · 03-15-2007, 09:25 AM

Glad to see someone actually used the DIY after all the fuss of people wanting one.

yrsdrgn · 03-15-2007, 10:30 AM

Course man, I've been wanting to do this ever since you posted it. I just had to wait for the LEDs to get in thats all.

absenter · 03-23-2007, 10:00 AM

So....just to clarify cause I'm an idiot sometimes. Or maybe it's the pain killers ,but 2825 and 194 are the same, correct?

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 03-24-2007, 11:15 AM

got my new side markers today and did the DIY with no problem. i used clear 194's to go with my front clear signals. only fucked up thing is i scratched my fender taking out the old light....

*Chris07LB* · 03-24-2007, 11:18 AM

Gotta be careful, that shits so easy to bend and scratch. Thats why I added the direction it slides out of the fender, as some have mentioned they screwed something up while figuring out how it supposed to go.

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 03-24-2007, 01:46 PM

i probably should have looked at your whole DIY but live and learn.

the_boss · 07-23-2007, 11:11 AM

stupid question....why we cannot take the bulb out without having to cut the plastic

that mean when the bulb is blown, you have to buy a full side marker

thanks

honestly I think it will look like shit and you -will- get pulled over, if you are going to do it go white which is still asking for it but it would look cool, but then again if you do that make them all match front, rear and side
