cutting holes on the left/right fenders to install Japan Camry's turn signals - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a set of fender-mounted turn signals from the Japan Camry. Ordered them from a California Toyota dealer who special ordered them from Japan Toyota. (also included were the wiring harness and connectors)

Planning to have a bodyshop cut the holes for me. But before I do that, I want to see what other 2007 Camry owners think....

that's unique and it will look good.

Thats a nice Camry G

I would tint it smoke so it would be a little more subtle since your car is blue.
If it was white then the light would blend it a little more.
Good idea.

Hrm, that's not a bad idea for the sidemarker!

Is there any OEM mirror replacements with turn signals w/harness that is plug and play for a Camry SE? I'd rather go with mirror turn signals instead of drilling holes in quarter panels.

I would rather get the turn signal mirrors. Or as Lammy said tint them.

I just use a search buttom as "Turn Signal Mirror" and this is what I found. Here is the thread:

Don't vehicles with side markers like that have fenders with sort of an indentation with a wire hole for the marker versus a cutout?
I do like the side marker lights but it seems like a lot of work for such a small mod..
I'd go with the signal mirrors which are more useful.
They look great and fold.

I think they would interfere with the port holes everybody wants!!

***CharmCityES*** · 07-26-2007, 10:53 AM

Cost?

n8dogg455 · 07-26-2007, 11:28 AM

i was considering this mod 4 months ago, but i came to the conclusion that i didn't want to cut into my body, due to rusting issues.

yeah i know i could seal it up and all, but there is always a chance of rust, and that is something i didn't want.

so i went with a side marker inside my headlight instead

^^ And it turned out looking great.

I'm getting hole cut to fit the turn signals so I might as well cut some port holes?

geeez..... I just hope the bodyshop guys don't die from laughing too hard?

since I'm using original Toyota Camry turn signals from Japan I think I'm going to
do it right.

I'm waiting for the dealer to email me a template from the Japanese Camry service
manual with the correct location/size of the holes

It should end up looking exactly like the ones on the Camrys in Japan
