i am getting ready to order toyota supra turn signals and a trd front. i was wondering what there is to installing the turn signals?

the trd front bumper uses toyota supra bumper lenses
as far as installing them, you stick the lenses in the bumper and then use the harness from your bumper light and fit the bulb into the supra light. its pretty straightforward, you shouldn't have any problems

you are right, its not completely a direct fit. i had to dremel some plastic from the edge of the light housing to get the stock bulb to fit inside. other than that, its a direct fit so to speak
well it makes it much easier than trying to wire up a toyota signal lol
I dont mean to thread jack but i figured my question is on topic and his question was answered already....how are these attached ot the bumper, or rather how hard would it be to add these to a 03+ bumper

in my opinion, the hardest part of adding those lights to the 03+ bumper would be cutting the holes evenly on both sides of the bumper. if you made some sort of template that you could use to make sure the holes were evenly spaced and sat in the same position on both sides of the bumper, i think you'd be ok. as for mounting the lights, you'd just need to create a bracket behind the bumper to hold them. i would use fiberglass for those, thats what the brackets were made of on the trd kit i had on my 97 cav. the only other thing you'd have to worry about is wiring up the turn signals, i'm not sure if you can just piggy back off the stock turn signal wire and add an additional bulb or not.

5 seconds to find another street...
The supra light has 2 bulbs on each light. when you purchase one of the lights i think the passenger side comes with the connectors attached to the bulbs and a wire so you can splice into that one. or if you want i have the part number for the connector. on the other light there are no connector attaached to the bulbs i only have the part number for one connector ont that side so i have a totall of 2 part numbers from toyota but im still missing one. without the connectors on the drivers side i dont see a way you can actually make them work. but from what i hear is that i can find that connector on an older camry. im not sure.

like everyone has said, it mounts to a bracket that is pre-glassed in the bumper...as far as wiring, i bought the bulb sockets from a toyota dealership(costs about 25 bucks) and then using a saudering gun and the stock cavi wiring harness, sauder the bulb sockets to the wire and then tap into the side marker and turn signals so that all would be on and synced whenever i turn on my turn signal...hope it helps..
