    Alright... So now I'm getting really frustrated. The plastic epoxy I bought to do this mod basically, didn't work. Idk wtf is up with it but I got VersaChem brand "plastic welder", it says it sets up in 15 minutes and is fully cured after 24 hours, so I let it sit overnight and then my whole day at work. I got home (about 30 hours total cure time) and the crap was still as wet and sticky as it was when I applied it.so I pulled it all apart and wiped off the garbage epoxy. I'm gonna hit up oreilleys tomorrow to try to find something better. What did u guys use to glue the pieces onto the housing?

    I used clear epoxy as well, and it's working/ holding up well. I got the one that come in the double seringe type tube. I squeeze some out then compound the two together by mixing. That one was set in about 1 hour and cured in 24 hrs but I needed them for the next morning so they only sat for about 10 hours.

    Planning on doing this Friday. I'm tired of just having my blinker lights ziptied to my TG bumper lol. I was gonna order TG's blinkers that mount onto the bumper, but I know they'd break off as soon as I went offroad, so I'm gonna go with this mod. Seems simple enough. My only fear is drilling the hole in the wrong spot.

    Just get it as low to the bottom as you can and it should almost just kind of fit in one spot almost perfect before trimming it. Or mine did at least.

    :thumbsup: thanks. I'll post up the results (if they're good). Also, what headlights are those in your sig? Those things are awesome looking. I've been thinking about buying some aftermarket ones that are all black on the inside and retrofitting them, but I like the looks of yours, too

    EDIT: nvm...just found the link in your build

    Mine were the ones on ebay with the black around the reflector bowl. I just painted the whole reflector before I did the retrofit.

    Got everything I need to do this mod. I got clear corners off one member and a set of bumper light housings off another.

    Currently I just cut rough holes in my corner lights and jambed the blinkers in there. One fits great but I slaughtered the other hole. So the bulb keeps falling out.

    Couldn't get to my dad's to borrow the dremel today, so I just rigged this up temporarily:

    Started this mod today since I had a few minutes and it finally stopped raining.

    Yours also requires cutting into oem wiring which I'd prefer not to do.

    So to some yours might seem like more work :notsure:

    Either way is a good option. Just depends on what you prefer.

    That's true I guess. My version is more "permanent". Toyota should have done it this way from the start.

    Only reason I like me version is because more light haha purely looks though.
