installing courtesy lights in my st - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #94086 6 posts Started by finalate
So as the post says, I got my hands on some courtesy lights and full harness from the junk yard from a gt. I also have the plugs for power everything. I also have the dash with just the ash tray instead of the mirror buttons like mine has. I have a lot of other stuff I will be sure to post. So my question, did I need the full harness? Or do I just cut off the wires I need and splice them into my harness? I wanted it all to be plug and play that's why I spent my time getting the whole harness. If anyone can help id appreciate it.
I think it depends on what you have in your car now. I have an ST hatch and if I remember the doors and trunk lights are standard on all 6th Gen. A bit more detail is needed to be able to provide help.
All 6th gens I've seen have had the courtesy lights, and mirror controls on the door panel. But I've never seen one in person that doesn't have power windows and locks, so ots interesting to hear the differences. The courtesy lights will plug in in the kick panels. One of us could trace the wires to the kick panel to see which plug and wires it is, then you can check yours to see if you have the wires up to the kick panel.

you would think they are standard. I took off my door panel and found no wires or light box like I found on the gt. I have manual doors and windows, so I really don't have any wires in my doors at all.

yea im surprised my 6th gen doesn't have them. atleast I got a complete wiring harness for power everything and courtesy lights. I just have to figure out if I have the plugs or not.
I have the at200 frame if that helps.
STs (at200) that don't have power windows and locks don't have the courtesy lights fyi.
