The FREE Blinker Light Relocation Mod

If I ordered these, how hard would it be to turn them into fog lights? the wiring I can handle, I mean modding the fixtures to hold fog lamps themselves?

Thought for $16, I could afford to mess up... LOL

 

Shouldnt be that hard i would think..

could just slap in some 35w 4300k or lower K of HIDs..

 

Blackdog, do you still have the pictures? I am considering this mod for my 04 Taco, but would like to see your picks before I tear into mine.

 

Yes i will sorry. Been busy.

However, 01-04 corner lights are different yet again

I posted a link a few pages earlier to TTORA that had a guy that did an 01-04 light. Takes a bit more work but for some reason as the tacoma got newer..the corner lights got smaller. So its really tight for 01-04s.

Hopefully someone else has some good pics for you too.

 

As he said ^, the best way is to do it like this: *see attachment*

You will need to cut the mounting area out of your old blinkers and shape it, as best you can, to the blinker housing. What gaps you still have will just be filled in by the silicone. Mine work really well that way

...otherwise you dont have enough room inside the blinker housing. (I know from personal experience )

 

Thanks for the photos Jake. I will add them to the OP here sometime.

 

No problem, if anyone needs specific help with the 01-04's feel free to PM me

 

i got clear corners and wanna do this but theres so much different things to do for the led amber and to make it flash its so confusing

 

LED? this mod uses all stock bulbs and housings. no wiring is required. Unless you are wanting to put LEDs in.




OP has been updated


Here is my new way of cutting out holes too. Heating up a copper pipe and then just burning out a hole. Much easier and cleaner. Still takes a lot of filing to get it perfect but this is easier then drilling and less prone to self inflicted damage.

These lights are for a 98-00 i believe. Im cutting them for someone else so i can't totally confirm that they work yet..

pipe i used..



clean cut..



Had to do some trimming to allow the bulb mount to fit.




fits..so far..

 

hey where did the fitting come from

 

Cut it out from the original blinker lights. Just take a dremel with a cut off wheel to it.

 

Or I found it just as easy to take any straight-blade saw with smaller teeth and you can cut it off just fine that way too. Just make sure to get as much of the fitting as possible so you get as much clearance from the housing as possible

 

Okay i have official conformation that the way i cut the 98-00 lights works perfectly!

 

What size is the pipe?????

 

Yea I knew someone would suck it right up...lol....

 

i think it was a 1'' pipe..ill double check.

 

aww...so tiny....I'm sorry

 

i used to like you...

 

Ok so I got My coper pipe today a friend hook me up so I should have turning light in the front by the weekends I did all the cutout of the old mount ...that I cut off the old houseing and was ready to put them together till I Aaw the pipe thing it looks much cleaner .... Will post pick when done.....
