TWZTID Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Ive started on the front end with the indicators & what looks like park lights inside the same housing. Theres a tiny metal divider thats rusted away. Ive checked the Haynes manuel & on-line but these places tell me the indicator housing is only for the indicator. So do I worry about putting in a new divider? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Non-US Models, or JDM cars had a separate smaller light in a dedicated socket that acted as a parking light. If it's a Jap Import, there should be a switch in the centre console which will allow them to be illuminated according to Japan Street Parking Regulations: illuminated on the side of the vehicle facing traffic. They also alight when the stalk switch is in the first position. Without the divider, it lights the 'whole' lens. You can make one out of aluminum sheet, or stainless. Polish the side that faces your little light and it casts a nice bright light out that direction. The stock divider was dull-chrome finish...which is why it's rusted away to nothing! Curiously this is the same reg they have in CA, and only turning on one side at a time freaks the coppers out! "no, they came that way, see here's the switch...it IS in the California Department of Motor Vehicles Bible: California Vehicle Code!" They check and always go "huh, so it is..."
