TIMOTHY BARROW I can only assume you did the typical “wiggle and pull” attempt. Mine came out with ease, but I’d try some gloves to help with grip and then maybe long nose pliers from there. Let me know what it takes.
(For any future viewers) is difficult to pull out bc it's a two piece part. If you look closely while you're down there you can see it connected to 2 small little clips. Pull from those clips out. Those clips are connected to a mount to help keep the relay from falling out. You need to pull out both pieces. Or just undo those small clips with a flat head and it will come out easy.
So the actual switchback led bulbs work on a similar principle to a dual filament bulb? Do you not have to amend the wiring. As the slot you have yours in is normally the indicator and will just have a ground wire and indicator live wire to it. Have you had to splice into the sidelight bit of it (the smaller bulb on the same assembly) for it to work? The only way I see it working in my head would be to have a dual filament holder with the bulb in and wire the indicator live and driving light live into it. Hope that makes sense and you can clear that one up for me 👍
Have a question. The orgional indicator is a single filament bulb connector so surely the switchback won't work as it has to have a double filmenent bulb connector. Any info on this would be much appreciated cheers.
how did you get that OEM turn signal out I found the two clips on the side but one of them is nearly impossible to get without dropping the dashboard and also I can’t see the other side of the clip but I know it’s there
I know this video is old but good info. My JDM left clear corner works fine. The right one wires the same way blows a fuse and my taillight fuse. Any ideas?
EBay links for the relay and bulbs? Sometimes this stuff is hit or miss. Also, does the it matter if you're running LED's up front but still have halogen in the rear?
James Hartline I tried to find the specific link, but couldn’t. I usually source my bulbs from SuperBrightLeds.com though. And yes. You can leave existing bulbs in rear without issue. That’s what I did.
polpotube Did you buy an Mr2? The parts were just clear corners (mine are OEM JDM corners), an LED bulb (I chose a switchback rather than solid amber), and the relay.
tyrone thomas I just noticed your question. No, I didn’t wire in the other bulb on mine. That’s optional when swapping these corner lights. Some wire in the harness with both bulbs.
So am I right in saying you buy the switchback led bulbs and they just go into the oem bulb holder. Then all you have to do is swap the relay out? Or am I missing something? Thanks!
It can stay. With an LED bulb, the vehicle sees little to no resistance as if the bulb is blown, and indicates this with the fast flashing. The hyperflash itself is not harmful.
@@RyanWyke No sir. I have tried to purchase only the ones on Amazon, with a high number of positive reviews, but to no avail. I really hate the idea of going back to the stock bulb. Happy New Year
What is the best way to remove the OEM relay? really difficult to pull out.
Am having the same problem, they wont come out when pulling on them.

you are the MAN, thank you for this vid!
That parts car chassis is in nicer condition than my car, jealous of the paint
Very clean MR2, thanks for the information! Trying this in the near future.
Thanks, going to give this a go!
MR2 Dave Nice. Let me know how it goes.
I'm using tge canbus led with anti hyperflash... so far no problems.
Did mine today. OEM came off with some careful effort. New LED relay flasher went on with ease after hunting down the connection.

where you get the led bulbs and what type?
I know this video is old but good info. My JDM left clear corner works fine. The right one wires the same way blows a fuse and my taillight fuse. Any ideas?
How did you do switchbacks when they are single filament setups? I'd love to have switchbacks in mine but don't know what to do.
I need help idk what switch back to buy - do i need to do wiring

Nice....what about the flasher relay for the rear blinkers? or does this take care for all of them? thanks!
The relay covers the front and rear.
Thank you so much
polpotube You’re welcome. Cheers
will you do a video where you show all the parts you used for the LED conversion? I'll probably buy a '91 and I'l need to freshen up all the lights

I have burned out more than 3 of the cf14 relays. I think I will try the inline resistors next.
Any change in where you sourced your relays or did you switch to resistors?

That’s it!
@@RyanWyke Was the bulb size 1156 or 1157?
Did u have to do any wiring to make sure the led switches to day lights
Use the OEM bulb size. No wiring was required. The turn signal bulb is used as a marker light when not in use as a turn signal.
can it stay with the hyper flash or will that mess it up ? generally curious
It can stay. With an LED bulb, the vehicle sees little to no resistance as if the bulb is blown, and indicates this with the fast flashing. The hyperflash itself is not harmful.
Mine came with resistors built in the bulb
Where did u get the canbus led from? I tried a set aliexpress and it still hyper flash.
2nd gen is the best style
Sean Uptown I agree!
Unfortunately the relays do not last long. First set lasted one month.
I haven’t had an issue yet, but haven’t driven more than a few hundred miles since installing these. Have you found a source for a quality relay?
@@RyanWyke No sir. I have tried to purchase only the ones on Amazon, with a high number of positive reviews, but to no avail. I really hate the idea of going back to the stock bulb. Happy New Year
Holy crap. The relay is super difficult to take off. No space. Stupid clips I cant even see
