Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior windshield washer lights

has anyone ever installed the lights that go on the squirters of the windshield washer? if so do you have any install tips

is it rice if you are making it a show car

what would be the point installing them in a celica? The windshield washers aren't even on the hood of the car.. So im guessing you can't even see the lights

for looks. you can still see them if you trim out rubber washers to put underneath

Hey..its your car, if you like them and it will make you happy, get them! They just aren't my cup of tea...

BUT..I know for a fact the lights are facing the hood, and you wouldn't be able to see it b/c the hood would block the light. Then again I haven't seen it done, im just trying to picture what it would look like

Yeah they are under the hood. If you want to do it go for it. As far as install tips...are they just wired 12v??

the lights sit higher than the factory squirts

i appriciate you taking time out for me

Please don't do it.

due to the overwhelming response i probabley wont but i am just looking for ideas. i have purchased a few things but i am not satisfied. i have the grill insert, bumper lenses,k & n filter, and i am still looking for tail lights and an exhaust

IMO I think redded out tails look the best, and it only cost $5 dollars or less to do...

yup I redded out my friends toyo tacoma lights, costs about $5 takes about half an hour (including drying).

shake your soda up

nice graphic beans. You never cease to amuse and confuse

not my cup of tea

yikes..stripes on the hood in an all stock car..windshield washer lights..

i posted the pictures to show how one person has done it... not so that everyone could bash on him. What is important is that if this is what he wants to do to the car HE DRIVES, than more power to him - if you don't like his setup, then you don't have to do it to YOUR car.

silver00, the majority of people have already made up their feelings about washer-lights, but don't let that sway your choice you from doing it to your car if you want it done

I hope these pictures have helped someone come to a better conclusion of what it COULD look like if you install in this manner

Isaac rember " " a.d.d pplz

This is gonna sound bad... but I think I actually like them on the blue Celi...

If you want red tails, you can get the tyc ones at an incredible price (only $100, SHIPPING INCLUDED) in the group buys forum of this board

whats up with this more power to you crap? your still gonna laugh so why not do it to his face. wipper lights...hahaha

Seriously buddy, if you wanted to do something to your car and you came on a Celica forum asking for advice would you want to be laughed at? I don't think anyone would, it is his car and what Isaac said is good, everyone has different taste and no one should be limited to what other people think they should have on their car.

I sure as hell don't want anyone telling me what mods to have on my car. Just try and take it easy on the commenting on other peoples cars

Actually, I was the person who took those photos. I took the pictures because I thought that at some point, another person would want to see them for their own install... so instead of being mean like you, I was being helpful

I've seen ALOT of stuff that I don't personally agree with - but when I see something that has been installed very clean and professionally - i gave the installer for the install.

In this case though - I actually thought his install was kinda cleaver and it went with his color scheme... not something I'd do to my car, because its not MY STYLE, but I'm sure it is many other people's style or these washer-lights wouldn't be in so many stores (yeah, i bet you didn't think about that )

btw, what are "wipper lights" ?

and actually the washer outlets set level with the hood

holy shit thats funny!!
(the picture i mean, i dont really care if you get those or not its up to you )

not my taste

id expect people to laugh at me, pure and simple. im not afraid of the truth. what i ment by wipper lights, it was the next logical "progression" beyond his original idea, if you didnt catch that.

i have actually seen wiper lights in simmit racing mag., there little lights that connect to you wipers, if you turn them on high at night, it looks like to big arcs on your windshield

If you are going to basically use the lights as an accessory light for show, why not remove the scoop, remove the black part of the scoop, mount them as far back as you can inside the scoop, then you will get light from there. It won't block the airflow like a neon tube will. Won't spray water, but having them on top of the scoop won't be any good for spraying water anyway. Plus the stock ones will still be there.

then its just ugly

i had them on last last car..white, look good..but on the celica if you want them to squirt it's kinda hard to remove and the light is kinda bend downward so light replection aren't that good..but if you put them under the hood scoop, that would be cool..either white or blue or somthing will look good..Go for it..

had to edit and add some more...100 just wasent enough...

the final words:

IT IS RICE AND ILLEGAL, DAR!

6 dollars and a trip down wal-marts rice isle yeilds a ticket and unwanted hater comments like mine!
