My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S
I haven't got them yet - I'm meant to be picking them up this weekend, however I'm currently struggling to find someone with an estate to help me collect them. I'm pretty sure they'll be OK for fitment as I sat on them in another MK2 MR2 and they seemed to fit OK
Started work on the foglight setup. What I've done is taken the panel out of a UK spec instrument cluster from a breaker which had a group of 6 indicator lights in it (I think engine warning light, no charge light, door open light etc) including the rear fog one.
So this is what I started with:
![[Image: DSC00829.jpg]](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n281/blz-8027/DSC00829.jpg)
Yellow foglamp is the one I was after.
I cut it up so I just had the rear fog indicator and fixed it in place of my traction control light, as my car doesn't have traction control, and that light is in an individual place in the cluster, not grouped with others. The membrane-loom on the back of the instrument cluster was blanked off for that space, so I took a scalpel to it to make a space for a bulb holder, and scraped the tops off the tracks which were also covered over (you can see that in the photo below). I stole the bulb holder from the ABS light as my car doesn't have that either.
This is the back of the instrument cluster before I butchered it. The blank is to the right of the blue bulb holder:

The track goes to the 9th pin on that connector in the top right.
This is how it will look, don't have a proper photo yet:

Next I inserted a pin (I had a spare instrument cluster connector that I got off the same breaker) into the appropriate space in the cluster connector on the car and have run a wire through to where the relay will be. I've used a 2-core wire as I can then use the other core for the switch. The switch is already installed to the point where it lights up when you turn the lights on, and is also a rear foglight switch from a UK spec car.
It will be as stock as possible for a car that never had rear foglights from the factory :thumbup1: I think along with the speedo converter and the boost gauge and the stainless dial borders I might have the most modified 'stock-look' instrument cluster going lol
I need to get that done for the MOT, which runs out on Friday. However I can't really afford the MOT this month so it will have to wait til payday, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it passes the brake efficiency test!!
Seats collected :thumbup1: They are currently sat in my front room as the interior of my car is in pieces (See below). I still want to get heater elements fitted into them but I can't find anywhere that will do it for me, even with me supplying the heaters

Ah well you see, you have to have something that lights up when your foglights are switched on to pass an MOT! My old rear foglight switch lit up when it was switched on, but that switch fell to pieces (it was only a cheap maplin one anyway that was put on to get the car UK legal). I then decided I was going to replace it with a UK spec foglight switch so that it looked right, but that lights up when the sidelights are on, not when the switch is on. It also looked like it would melt if I put the 27W needed for the foglights directly through it, so that meant adding a relay... so it was gonna be a pain in the **** job anyway before I took it too far

And I've checked the seats I've got and the kit shouldn't be too big a deal to fit :thumbup1:
Did the instrument cluster repin in my lunch break. I also came into some extra money I wasn't expecting this month so I have ordered the heated seat kit. It's this one, came recommended by a friend who has fitted it in his MX5:
