Look at these wacky plastic headlights for 3rd gen


Recommended Posts

My 86 came with these, I replaced them with glass ones and these have unique brackets as well.

I have never seen these before, no parts numbers or manufacturer stamp. Some goofy obscure companies make lenses, such as guidex for gm, and koito for subaru.

Has anyone ever seen these before? Some screwy ladm for loyales or gl with the ea65? Haha

Anyway who is building a murdered, slammed rx? Or loyale sedan? These might actually look cool tinted black to match satin black. Or tint around the circle for eyeballs!

You think Koito is a goofy, obscure company?  Go look at any exterior lamp on ANY Subaru.  Hell, look at any exterior lamp on, probably, ANY Japanese car.  They are ALL Koito...

Not these lights! They must be a custom job for racing or something... I never thought about how many companies are contracted out to make a complete car. On my Camaro off the top of my head the carbs are rochester, transmission s by Saginaw, Muncie and GM automatics and guidex plastic lenses, and body parts by Fisher.

Well no, obviously not those lamps, but damn near everything else, and not just the lamps either.

Most car companies these days are just vehicle assemblers.  Very, very few of the parts are manufactured in house.
