jono Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 are these front indicator/parl lights specific to the Australian market or just non US market? I thought I read in here somewhere of a member scoring a pair of these with the raised orange bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprjohn Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've not seen these before. I'm looking for a set or a driver's side one for my '89 DL wagon. One for the sealed beam headlights, not the composite headlights. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 ah, clearance lamps you call them ? They have two circuits in ours, a park light and an indicator. Do the US ones have two circuits and just one colour, one very busy circuit ? I have two sets spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashedGlass Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) The US market markers only have two bulbs that are both lit when the lights switch is any position other than off, no turn signal. Which is stupid, as your front signals cannot be seen by anyone to the sides. And, how much do you want for one of those sets?

jono Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) no side mounted turn indicators ?? Gees, my email has gone off, might have to thin things out a bit. Was thinking A$50 pair plus postage, better check the exchange rate.....I'll find some decent packaging, weigh up and get an idea.Thankfully the $9 anti terrorism fee has been dropped ! Been in http://auspost.com.au/apps/international-parcel.html?searchCriteria.countryCode=US just under A$36 to send the somewhere between 750 - 1000g, with two options of pack and track which has tracking but no signature on delivery or the one below it, same price has signature on delivery, but no tracking !!

Padawan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 We have them here in Europe too. 85-86 models had solid orange glass in the turn signal part of the lamp, and later models had the ones pictured above were only the raised part of the glass is orange.

wagonist Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The "raised" amber part for the indicator is different heights for different markets. Aus ones are the tallest, I have a set of JDM ones which ave a smaller hump US spec are flat. The globes lighting up at once are caused by the US wiring which specifies that the front indicators are on with the headlights. Seems really stupid idea to me, but a good way to tell when lazy movie directors use US spec cars when the setting is supposed to be somewhere else (check out the tunnel drifting scene in Fast & Furious 3 ) I've got a set of Aus spec I'd like to swap for US spec ones (87- )...

Leeroy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 They are not really indicators, as you put it wagonist, but 'side markers' in US parlance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Do they flash? Is it a requirement that the ones in the bumper are on also with the headlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Yes I think they would also flash and are always on with the lights. Those in the US would know more than me but I doubt the indicators in the bumper would operate that way. Edited May 14, 2014 by Leeroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashedGlass Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 In the US market 3d gen Subarus, the bumper lights are only for turn signaling and not lit up at any other time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the Same for the LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) We have them here, in Honduras, also I've seen them in Photos online of Subarus from Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Costa Rica, ... etc. Kind Regards.

wagonist Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yep, seems LADM are the big bulge type also. I'll see if I can get a pic of the JDM vs ADM side by side on the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 In the US market 3d gen Subarus, the bumper lights are only for turn signaling and not lit up at any other time. That makes more sense. There's already forward facing park lights on the car, why have another set. I can understand on older cars that didn't have this. I learnt to drive in a 73 Crysler Valiant, and it's front (white) parkers were also the front indicators, and the rear (yellow) indicators were the reversing lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in fact, LADM has been somehow the place where car makers sends their leftovers, that explains the weird "Options" we have had... Kind Regards.

superpoo93 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Padawan, what is the small thing on your bumper in front of the headlight? Is it a headlight washer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padawan Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Padawan, what is the small thing on your bumper in front of the headlight? Is it a headlight washer? Yes They are factory installed, and I think every subie here came with them. Theyre pretty powerful too, sprays a little bit on my windshield as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the pump located in the engine compartment? * edit: does it use the same pump as the windsheild?? * Edited May 16, 2014 by superpoo93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Yes They are factory installed... Those also were available in the LADM ...Wonder if it was offered in the states. ... Nope on the Wagons nor Sedans, but Yes on some of the XT6, as far as I Know. Kind Regards. Edited May 17, 2014 by Loyale 2.7 Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 My 86 XT had similar headlight squirters with 3/8" supply hoses from the windshield washer bottle. The bumper was not original for the car, so car did not get the double pump washer bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Those also were available in the LADM Nope on the Wagons nor Sedans, but Yes on some of the XT6, as far as I Know. Kind Regards. Offered on JDM models (some of the bumpers turn up here occasionally), and more likely northern European also. You also need a different washer bottle (it holds like 5L or something ;o) which has an extra postion with a really large pump (compared to the windscreen washer version), then flexible lines from that to the bumper with a T joint. I have a bumper at home I'm going to fit. You also need the switch & wiring. Factory, there's a timer so it only operates for a limited time when you press the button, but I'm simply go to have it run for however long I've got the button pressed. Got a bumper at home I'm fitting I can try to get a pic to show where the line run. Sorry for the hijack, Jono... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padawan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Wagonist got it all covered for me But if someone needs pics of the setup, I can help. They are also operated by this switch in the dash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
