Hi everybody, I have just fitted new foglights to the front of my 2002 Ascent Seca. You can do it quite cheaply with a $119 pair off Ebay, compared with ludicrous priced genuine articles.(you would struggle to notice the difference in look!) But I discovered that all wiring was in the car already, so you plug in the lights at the existing harness taped up behind bumper and fit lights. Head to a Toyota dealer and buy the Levin/Sportivo indicator/light switch with the additional foglight switch built in(around $60) and foglight relay(around $20) and then remove shroud around steering column(3 screws) Unplug indicator/light wiring beneath the stalk by pushing in white tab on the connector and pull down. Push in black tab on front of indicator/light stalk switch(column end) and slide out to the right. Installing new one is reverse of removal. Open up coin tray on right hand side of dash and pull up until the hinge end comes unclipped and take tray out. Behind that you will see a row of vertical white plugs with no relays in them, so look for the one that actually has connectors fitted (silver in colour) and the relay should fit here. Installing coin tray reverse of removal. Turn on parkers or headlights and turn on foglight switch and relay should click and your foglights should be on! :) Any queries P.M. me!! Cheers, Mat

Still the same now! My 2002 Corolla has it supplied in the same looking tins, and I have seen it in new ones when fitting cruise controls last year.

That Panhard rod reminds me of one on my old Corona the girlfriend borrowed once! She bought it back to me with a heap of grass hanging out between the rim and the bead of the tyre and bent panhard rod. Said she knew nothin about it, but her younger brother dobbed her in as he was in the car when she did a big hand brakey around a corner and hit a rut on the side of the road fully sideways :D

Panno coming along nicely!! You can see new guard and parking lights, but no bumper as yet. Heading to Adelaide this Thursday in it to hopefully get a new one. NOT with 17 inch wheel though! Just was mucking around with them. Fitted good on back but not on front funny enough. Damn struts

Posting didn't work right first time but should now be OK

After messaging Goldke70 for some info, he said I should wack up some photo's of my car, which is undergoing some repair work after first and previous owner had a minor prang. It is a one owner 1982 Panelvan with 165,000 K's on the clock (first round!) 4 speed manual and 4k-c motor, excellent original airconditioning and interior and body in pretty good condition for age with very little rust. So far I have stripped out interior and cleaned pretty much everything (being a car detailer for several years helped!) added a JVC CD/MP3 player in the place of the old tapedeck, had drivers seat edge re-upholstered, have ordered new RHS Front fender and are in the process of getting a new front apron, bumperbar and light surrounds to finish it off.(If anyone can supply some of these please message me!) Still have to brush touch a few spots here and there, fix dent in passenger door and add some carpet or rubber matting to the cargo area. It is still registered and will be used as daily driver to work and so far including cost of car and parts so far it owes me only $430. Also own a silver 2002 Corolla Ascent that I bought new, which has Sportivo front skirting (rest to be added later) 16 Inch Shadow Chrome ROH wheels, Sportivo silver done on interior with Pioneer CD Player, but I will stick pics of that elsewhere on this site.
