I have asked this before and got no answers but someone must know can you buy or convert the yellow lenses on the mk1 gs300 to make them clear .

I also want to do the same with mine.. I have looked to see if i could get them undone but I have not found how yet.. if the are bolted somehow then i cannot see how..

Guys,

Saw this thread when it first popped up.

Can you be a bit more specific about what you require?

Is is something along these lines?

See HERE

I am talking about the front indicater lenses they have a yellow look that i would like to make clear. i also want to do the side repeaters like grims post suggests but would like to do fronts first.jac114 the side lenses just clip out put a screwdriver on a peice of cloth or several peices of paper to protect bodywork and prise out indicater.

Cheers Mudzs I was worried about doing that in case I cracked them... Do you know wher you can buy replacement clear side repeaters for it..?

Cheers
jac

Check out grims post they are the best i have seen

Jac, the ones in Grim's post will not fit your car, they are for the US spec GS's which have the side light in front of the wheel arch and are larger. European lights are more square and are fitted behind the front wheel arch.

So be careful!

Mudzs,

Is the yellow you can see when you look into the lens coming from the bulb? If it is you can swap the bulb for a silver one which flashes orange. That will make them appear clear.

If their is a orange lens in there it may be possible to break it up through the bulb hole and remove. Then fit the silver bulbs in which flash orange?

Just a thought?

Thanks for the advice i will give it a go

Has anyone gone the other way, and replaced the indicators on the UK model GS300 Mk1 with the more orange unit that you see on US cars? Can you get replacements? I quite like them.

Andrew.

HI MUDZS
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IF YOU TAKE YOU TIME WITH A PAIR OF LONG NOSE PLYERS AND WIRE CUTTERS YOU CAN BREAK THE ORANGE REFLECTOR UP INSIDE THROUGH THE BULB SOCKET. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO DO BOTH. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SILVER COATED BULBS TO GIVE THE ULTIMATE EFFECT.

I believe you can actually just heat them up and then remove the orange inside bit...... I'll ask Wildrnes to post a better reply when he's back

hi mudzs.. how did you get on? did you break out the orange bit?



jac

Not yet a bit worried about doing it .think i will get a price first on new indicators just incase i it up.Have you done yours

lol...Nope not yet. been buying other bits and saving...

Ihave got to get the silver bulbs first b4 I attempt it



jac

Hello Everbody, nice day, Ive sorted the repeater indicator lights, my local store does LED repeaters in a variety of colours, I went for black, they look cool! They are oval and stick on, they are big enough to cover the hole and plug in to the extisting fitting although the earlier ones have to be connected but not difficult. Cost me £19.99. I think that Ive seen them in halfords.
Hope this helps (GS300)

mmm Halfords home of bolt on crap they sound very much like the ones boys stick on their saxos and fiestas

Why not get the new LS430 clear indicators with silver vision bulbs that flash orange

Part no:81731-51020

I like the bit bout Halfords **** but only said that I thought that they where there, but these actually look pretty good, I think the stores are called A1 lots of them in South Essex but these LCDs must be all over the place.

PS if you want touch up sprays you can get that in Halfords mixed for you, try and get that at Lexus!

Will look at the others mentioned though, always willing to learn, have to at my age!

you can

Well I managed to pick up some side repeaters at J.A.E that I liked. Good old toyota with interchangable parts..lol

The are toyota Corolla ones..


Think they look much better than the orange ones..



Jac

Will attempt getting the orange out for the indicators soon...

And then you can do mine Cause i still aint plucked up the bottle to do it

Thats only on is200 headlights

Long pointy oblect to break them out.. Gulp.. I hope it works




jac

Have a look on p28 in the GS gallery he has done his gs and it look good .If only he would answer the comment and tell us how.it is the white gs

it is done by breaking up the orange reflector.

its very simple to do, takes time but is simple to do

Long nose pliers and plenty of patience eh

Help i have just taken of the indicater but can not remove the headlight there is not enough room do you have to remove the bumper to take out the headlight i need to do this as paint on the bottom of headlight is comming of

There is a screw on the front top chassis that you undo first.. well thats the only one i know of..lol . dont tell me you had a mad moment and rushed out there to do it..



jac

yes i did and the indicater took about 10 secs to remove and about 5 mins to remove the yellow much easier than i thought .all the bolts are removed on the headlight and it is loose but no room to get it out it is doin me ed in .it is a bit like the rubics cube

then pull all the stickers off and re-attatch them with all the same colours on each side

jac & mudzs

already done it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Done indicaters but bottom of headlights not so good .the grey on the bottom had worn of but when i sprayed them thew solvent in the spray took the rest of the paint of so looks even worse now .so will take of all paint and start again.

Just completed my first mod and it looks fine .Jac114 it was a lot easier than i thought it would be the only thing i would say is be carefull of the opening that holds the bulb housing it is made of weak plastic and when you put the pliers in to break up the orange reflecter it is easily damaged .Headlights were a pig to get out though

How easy was it to actually remove the orange plastic around the edges... does it just fall away?

jac

Not realy you do have to use some force .It is realy just a case of grabbing it with the pliers and turning until it breaks into small enough peices to fit through the hole .I would have done it months ago if i knew it was this easy go for it ,it won,t take more than 20 mins but be carefull of opening as said above

jac

as mudzs said be very careful of the opening as all you have to is look at it wrong and you've damaged it

go 4 it mate but take your time. it'll look 100% better together with your new side repeaters


jaybo

i bought some orange bulbs at my local garage but they still show orange through the lenses ,can you buy clear bulbs that flash orange or is that a very silly question

orange bulbs will flash orange


you need the silvervision bulbs....that are silver.....but flash orange

I meant they show orange when not flashing .Are these avaliable in most car shops like halfords or are they special order

As you are a GOLD member, try this place that do silvervision bulbs:

Gold Member Bulb Discount!

Zee.

the silver vision bulbs don't show orange unless they are flashing.

you won't see any colour at all when not lit
