    ZRE152 AFTER MARKET FOG LIGHTS KIT

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted

    Yep, Mars Performance fog lights on ebay are the right ones, all you need after that is the pair of shrouds as the ones in the kit are for the sedan.

    I didn't actually use the instruction book, though I do thank the rez and ken33f who sent it to me :D. I found it overly difficult to be honest :P

    Jack your car up, I put it on a hoist, but same deal. Underneath the front, on each side there is a cover held in with a set of 10mm bolts that you have to remove. One or two actually have a screwdriver fitting and are a little longer, so don't misplace them. Also there is a plastic clip you need to remove - I found it easy to do so with 2 flat screwdrivers. This is on each side, directly under the shroud.

    So, remove this cover.

    Behind the stock shroud is a little phillips head screw. You'll need a stubby screwdriver to get to this one - or else remove the plastic wheel arch.

    Once you've taken out that screw (on each side), use a bit of force and some directed pulling and pushing to get the shroud out. For the clips that don't let go, you can push them down from the inside now that you have removed the cover.

    The mars lights screw into your new shrouds (which are $84 each from Toyota btw) with three of the 8 supplied screws in the kit.

    You'll notice that the lights don't sit flush with the inside of the shroud - this is normal (at least on John's "Auris" and my uncle's Aurion) and must be to allow a little more air flow. These lights get daaaaaamn hot. Like a serious skin burn hot!.

    The plugs to go into the lights are already in the position, you just need to untape them from the inside of the bumper and plug them in.

    Put the cover back up and screw it back in. You're done with the front.

    Now the tricky part...

    And here's where I paid $70 to get it done properly.

    If you want to do it yourself, you need a relay. I've forgotten the part number - I got it from somewhere on here - hopefully someone can help :)

    Work out which plugs on the relay run to a switch, and splice the wires from there and run it over to where the switch will go - near the mirror controls.

    Solder it all up and you're done.

    The official book says to splice wires that go up into the steering column. I saw the bunch of wires there and immediately gave up. Waaay to hard :P.

    Also, you can skip the whole splicing thing and go with plug and play if you buy the official stalk from Toyota / A wrecker. I got quoted from Toyota near $180 and a wrecker $150.

    Then just follow the instructions in the DIY section on how to remove a yaris' steering wheel - but apply them to your zre!

    Oh, and btw, I've ordered whiter headlights to match the fog lights :P

    Remember, it's not just power. The total weight of the car plays a big part as well.

    Yeah ur ryt DJKOR i guess weight does play a big part... Hes gota H22A in it now n it runs 12.8 @ 106mph... his power figure jumped up to 150.8 kw @ the front wheels not bad for a non turbo aye?? lol...

    By the way, is evos car auto??? If it was manual would he shave a few mili seconds off??

    :angry: JULEZ!!! what happened to the motokhana? i have been bar'd up for months over that and nothing happened

    in regards to drags im out cos i dont have stocko's. and evan im thinking u will get about a 15.6 or 15.7 from looking at your vid. sorry man i didnt think it was that fast, i looked at my vid of 0-100 run in my pretty much stock 1zz and it seemed faster thank yours :blink: maybe u wherent WOT tho.

    and daryl if u really want to beat that time not just go out for fun i probly woudnt bother its getting too hot at nights now

    ps. julez u suck organise skiddies

    I agree with ur estimated times ELEGNT... u would have to be pushing 120kw + at the wheels to get low/high 14s... my mates n/a civic ran 13.8 @ 100mph on street tyres n he had 130kw @ the front wheels..

    Im not bagging ur car out, i wouldnt mind a supercharger...

    Im probably wrong...

    keep up the good work evo.
