Is it possible to replace front side markers?


Celica n00b

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, so please point out any silly mistakes that I make

I own a 1999 model Celica (with the 2zz engine)

The vehicle was purchased a year or so ago, and I've noticed that since I've received the vehicle, the front side markers doesn't exactly seem to be yellow, it seems to be more of a whitish color

After doing a bit of research, I've been told that they use the wedge type bulbs (T10) for that particular light, I went and bought some LED bulbs which are puren yellow in the hopes that I can replace them, however, I do not exactly know how to, is it possible? And if so, would someone be able to point me somewhere or give me some basic instructions as to how to do this?

The light that I am wanting to change is pointed out in the photo below, just in case someone gets it confused with the turning lights in the headlight section of the car, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I do not own that particular model, but I have replaced the front side markers and bulbs on my 5gen. The best way I've found is to get a thin plastic spatula or similar and slide it between the body and the rubber gasket (along the short side, not the long side), whilst protecting the edges as much as possible with a small rag. Once it's under, push hard so the clip underneath is depressed and pull it off.

The bulb either slides out or you need to twist the harness about 25 degrees CCW, I can't remember.

Good luck mate!
