Extra Hole in headlight assembly - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #73470 16 posts Started by barterj


what is that extra hole for?, I found a pair of these for 79 plus 65 shipping in perfect condition, I may be getting them as ALL the tabs on my lows are gone.
This hole is for the side (accent) bulb that was required in Japan.
so, if i were to get those, I would either have to plug the whole with a grommet or find the sockets for the bulbs. Time to search!

just FYI, a 194 socket fits well with a bit of modding.

daytime running lights /side markers...my jdm headlights have them. I had to cut that hole out of my US headlights to fit stock bulb holder in there so I could have some sort of marker lights on the front

Is that the socket form the side markers?
the sidemarker sockets will fit without mods.

I could wire these so the same circuit as the side marker lights, right?
yes you could, that's how they work in mine

Accent light off, accent light on



Accent light on, low beam on



Side marker socket vs. Accent light socket

UUmmm what? do you guys not have the park lights or "accent" lights as you call them in your low beam lights? but you do have them in your turns (fronts & sides)

ST202 SS-II CELICA threadNew Zealand members check inSticky thread's: How to contribute and troubleshoot.
north american celicas have a side marker light, right behind the headlight on the wing, and the front indicator light usually has a dual filament bulb for markers or parking lights as they are called. Other areas of the world have a side repeater on the back of the wing near the door and a repeater in the bumper and the only front "marker" or "parking" lights are in the headlight housing
