Front marker lights compatibility

Post by BlackStraw »

I am looking for replacement left and right corner marker lights (the orange ones directly beside the headlights) for my 1986 hatchback....can anyone confirm if these are in fact identical to the corner marker lenses used on 2WD /4WD wagons, or if they are specific to the hatchback models? They look very similar in photos, and I had thought that pretty much everything in front of the windshield wipers of T4WDs was shared with all Tercel body styles of that generation....but on a few parts listings I've come across it seems like a different part #.

They are different from the 4WD. 2WD Wagons are the same as the hatchback 83-86. The 87-88 2WD and 4WD wagons are the same and will interchange with each other, but the 87 onward hatchbacks were a totally diferent car.

the 4wd bumper height is different than the 2wd, so the side marker lights are not the same, the 2wd ones are 10-12 mm taller because of bumper difference.

usually the right side one gets bashed, on this side of the atlantic ocean anyway (furthest from the driver). save all you can, they are not making any more of them.

Good info to know, thanks fellows! Still hoping to find a pair available locally, but I'll know now to not bother looking for T4WD parts cars.
