No but I did install repeaters in the mirror housing.

Well, I think you did a great job, and it looks perfect!
But after reading through your thread, I realise it's not an easy job to get done. This from your last post: "I am very pleased with the result but I must say this project was a beast. My hands and fingers are covered in cuts and my back and sides are bruised from lying on the door sill as my head was under the dash. I feel like I went 12 rounds with the champ." "It took me 2 full days. Granted I was not working every second of that time. A lot of time was spent figuring out how to proceed after hitting a roadblock. Trying and trying again to get that wire past an obstacle until finally giving up and figuring out how to remove said obstacle. Learning as I went and being somewhat timid about taking the next step, afraid that I might damage something along the way. "Should I really be yanking on this this hard?"..."Something else must be holding it"...Stop...Inspect...No..."Yank harder and hope nothing breaks"...Repeat. There was a lot of that." |

What about fitting fender repeaters? Would you be willing to drill holes in your fenders? Would the wiring be simpler?

I love this! Man, if I could coordinate a face-swap with a silver 2015 yaris, I would be so into watching some old John Travolta and Nick Cage flicks.

I'm considering buying a white 2016, parking it beside my white 2014 and making a clean "face-swap". Maybe, I should employ ccyaris from Pasadena (about 40 minutes from me) to assist with the procedure.

Anytime kimono, I am also planning fender markers and wing mirror indicators (safety) as done in a previous post using dremel tool to shave and fit.

Great!
I was parked beside a new Ferrari yesterday and was looking at the small round fender marker lights (that have a thin black housing). Of course, they were beautiful. What about installing small round fender markers like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-12V-3-4...3D281587452154 http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Mini-12V-...3D112353638313 They only require a 3/4" round hole for easy installation. They're available in clear, smoked, and amber lenses. Last edited by kimona; 07-01-2017 at 10:04 PM. |

Thanks for the idea kimona, my design philosophy is to use Toyota or OEM pieces, so I would go with the Aussie fender marker, I am sure I could massage it to fit.
