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.
