Front & Rear Lights
Changing
Lights.
My MR2 originally had the
rather plane revision 1/2 lights, but I got a new set of front & rear
revision 3 lights so I gave it a face lift.
Had the center panel sprayed
blue, as it was white originally. Bought a revision 3 boot lock, as old
one was too short.
I had to extend the wiring
loom so the reverse lights in the rear center panel would work, I also
swapped the guts of the old boot lock into the new one so that the original
key worked.
