not shore what they are called,but i have seen them on the toyota crown and a few other older Japanese cars.they are small lights that sit on the top of the front wings,will try and dig out a photo.i am looking for some but cant fiend eney,tryed ebay but marker lights dont come up ? do they call them something different, they just let you no were the end of the bonnet is,or should i call it hood

 

Search Google shopping for LS400 side marker light.

 

The ones on older Cadillac cars were apparently called lamp monitors or light monitors and faced rearward so that the driver could see his turn signals flash. I don't remember them being bright enough for other drivers to see except at night.

I remember that back in the 1960's some people brought aftermarket lamp units like these from companies like JC Whitney and added them to cars that didn't have them.

Here is an image from eBay.

Edit: Here is a diagram showing similar lamp units on a 1990 Japanese market Toyota Crown.

 

nice one thats what ive been looking for on the crown,so they call them clearance lamps

 

hell still dont come up on ebay with clearance lamps,will go and try at toyota next week

 

Well I guess I could have included the part numbers in the image I posted.

But if you are wanting to install these lamps on your LS400, that may be difficult. Based on the diagram, it looks like the clip that holds the lamp unit in place must be installed from below - maybe it's to prevent theft. This area is not accessible from the engine compartment and I don't remember if that area of the fender/wing is accessible when the front turn signal is removed.

 

yes i see what you mean,i will have to think about this one ? it all comes down to price as i did not want to go to toyota for them,but just cant fiend eney out there.

 

Have a look here

my old 66 T Bird that I restored, had marker lamps on the fenders that were pretty simple..
take a look..

 

i think they look great.

 

thanks Steve but they are all indicators.

 

they had a little fiber optic cord from the turn signal to the indicator.. pretty simple

 

can't find it? make your own lol try doing something hot roddish and going to an american muscle swap meet and get one off an old buick or something seems like you're going the custom route anyways, i think it'll look pretty nice

 

might be a good idear,but american muscle cars are a little thin on the ground round here,but i go to a few drag meets in the summer so might have more luck then.
i was going to go down the road of body kit but the car is in sutch good condition i think i might just go retro and add a few touches sutch as marker lights,just to give it that old look about it.but if eney one comes up with some please let me know ,,thanks.
