    sounds a lot like a red sedan i spottted the other week on old windsor road near bellavista... looked like a filipino driver.. TRD*** number plate

  2. spotted a strange sight this afternoon round 12.30.

    saw what looked to be pujo coz it was the same colour as his.. but it wasnt him. i think it had the J racing bodykit, smoked out tail lights. looked like a muslim woman driving coz the driver was wearing a veil of some sort.

  4. welcome to TOCAU!

    ive been looking at this place to install the fibreglass frontbar i got 2nd hand...

    www.xracing.com.au

    X Racing Motorsport

    Unit 6/21 Cooper Street

    Smithfield

    NSW 2164

    they sell the kits and do installation too. from the looks of it, they know what they are doing.

    ive done a quick check.. yours is around a 1998 model right? theyve got a kit to suit them.

    theres also carmate.. which is where my frontbar is from. ive had a look at another corolla with the same bar as mine that was installed by them.. the owner wasnt happy.

    theres other places.. goto www.bodykits.com.au.

    they have a big list of places that sell parts and install.

    jase

  5. yea bigbum that was another option i was thinking thinking about.

    its definately simpler to do it the way you just stated, except i would find it impossable to wire them up with the side indicators, since i can only manage to pull out the indicators wiring about 2mm out of the hole.

    its a really short wire! luckily the wires from the LEDs are long enough to go all the way up to the headlights and i located the wires up there already.

    but yea, i did manage to take off the stock covers, which means in theory i can do my original plan but my main concern is the lack of space inside the mirror cavity.

    i just gotta make sure it can accomodate for the bits of chrome plastic that surround the LEDs. once i figured that out, then its all good!

    the plastic chrome covers are also providing the mirror look inside the lense, which is why i wouldnt take the LEDs completely off the chrome cover.

    i wanted to cut the holes in the stock covers because the LED lense looks so thick (hope that made sense).

    the clear plastic lense covering the LEDs is maybe 2-3mm thick.

    if i cut holes into the stock indicators and poke the LEDs through, itll look less like its bulging out of the covers and it wouldnt be able to be pulled off by any old knob that realised they were stuck on with doublesided tape if i did it the other way. if i poked them through the stock mirror covers i figured they probebly wont stick out so much..

    i was thinking of using clear silicone glue to attach the LEDs from underneith the stock covers and if i stuff up dremmeling the holes (made the holes too big or cut too much, i could always use bodyfiller and respray.

    if i stuck the LEDs on the stock covers with double sided tape itll stick out by another mm...

    so yea.. bigbums plan is much simpler, but i worry bout other people fcuking it up by pulling em off.. while the option i was thinking is gonna take a lot of work.. but itll look more the way i wanted.

    you may or may not be able to tell, but the chrome covers are really big.. when i bought them it thought they would replace the stock covers, but instead they put double sided tape to stick it on. the chrome covers parts of the black sections of the mirror cover and overall i dont like the way it looks if i stuck it on like that. plus, i think it would be easy to pull em off... all the chrome on the mirror would attract some unwanted attention me thinks.

    ill update once i figured out which direction to go.

    thanks for your advice!

  6. wow that looks good... definately a step up... just a shame it aint a toyota :P

    gotta stop looking at those pics coz it makes my corolla feel not so special!

  7. i know its hard to explain in words, so i prepared this... your input would be much appreciated.

    the LEDS are yellow and blue...

    since it aint legal in these parts to have blue LEDs on the car id rather have them changed so that they are all yellow, but since it looks like i cant change it without breaking the lense, i thought of wiring up the blue LEDs to the same wires the illuminated doorsills are, so that the blue LEDS light up when the door is open.

  8. ive got these chrome indicator lights with yellow and blue leds inside.

    i tried to crack open the lense so i could possibly change the LEDS to all yellow.. but no such luck. unless someone has done this before and is confident of beign able to do it with mine... id love you to do it!

    i dont like the way the chrome cover has to be attached onto the stock cover via doublesided tape. itll attract too much damn attention and i dont like the way it looks when its stuck on like that.

    so i was thinking if i could possibly cut the leds off the chrome covers, then cut holes into the stock cover and poke the indicators through.

    is it a silly idea or is it crazy enough that it just might work?

    i managed to take off the stock cover.... just wondering if there is much room inside the stock cover to house the light.

    does anyone have a stock mirror cover lying around that they can throw my way.. just so i can test it out?
