Side Indicator Lamp - Help Needed Identifying

[Sean'O]

Hey all,

I have a good one for all the investigators out there. I’m trying to get my hands on a replacement rubber seal for the below pictured “Hella” side indicators on an R32 GTR. I've attached some images...

I have found several numbers on the lamp however sadly according to Hella they have been manufactured specifically for a car manufacturer and they are unable to tell me which one *facepalm*. These lamps would have been fitted during compliance and I can see a date of 2005. Numbers below;

1. On the side there is a "Hella" paper sticker. Code: D27691 Date: 23NOV05.

2. Pressed into the rear side of the light I can see: 81730YC020

3. Pressed into the clip of the light I can see: B1730 YA020

I have also spoken with Nissan and they are able to replace the whole lamp with the ones that came on the Australian Delivered R32s however the issue I have is two part;

1. The lamp offered by Nissan appear to be a different shape looking at the Australian Delivered examples on the Forum and may not fit into the existing hole in the fender (really don’t want to cut any metal for the sake of replacing a rubber seal)

2. They a pretty pricy and would much rather just get a replacement seal

If anybody knows where I can get my hands on a replacement seal I’m more than happy to buy you a six pack

Cheers lads,

Sean

Why don't you just go to Clark rubber and buy a sheet of suitable thickness high density foam or rubber, a steady hand and a craft knife would get you around the mystery?

Go and see Toyota, I am pretty sure they are Toyota indicators.

Let us know how you get on

You're right! They look identical the to the ones I had on my 1993 Lexus ls400. I knew I had seen them before.

From memory they are also on a certain model corolla - cant remember which one.

Edit: false alarm....they're not the same I checked.

You should give bursons a try, I bought the whole replacement light from them

[Sean'O]

Thanks for the info guys, I'll try Toyota on Monday morning to see if they are able to track those numbers

I've tried all the usual sources like Bursons, SuperCheap, AutoBarn, internet searching etc

I'll let you know how it goes

Cheers,

Hey all,

So turns out the indicators were off a Toyota Camry 36 series

I've ordered a pair and I'll let you know how the install goes when I pick them up next weekend

Cheers,

Hey all,

Just to keep you in the loop how the search is going. I went down to Toyota today to pick up the lamp but sadly there were two issues;

1. The colour was incorrect (admittedly the bloke was unable to confirm the colour, worth a shot though)

2. The lamp does have a rubber seal but it's different from the other one already on the car and appears to be the same "thin" rubber seal that broke last time (not really interested in using it)

I brought the parts guy out to the car to show him exactly what type of rubber seal I was after but he was unsure.

After a bit of hunting around in their system I suggested maybe a Toyota Starlet had the correct seal (I saw one at the shops the other day and both the lamp and seal looked very similar to what I was after).

Luckily for the Starlet lamp I'm able to buy the rubber seal separately which is good considering the lamp for the Camry I won't be using and hopefully some bloke will buy it on Ebay

I'll give you all an update once the Starlet seal comes in,

Cheers,
Sean

Personally I'd have done this^ Likely they would have given you an off cut for nothing.

2nd choice would have been replace with Nismo R34 side winkers.

However it looks like your almost sorted
