JDM "fusee" flare p/n 90986-01005 (1 Viewer)

I came across this completely by accident and there was no result on 'mud, so here it is:

That, I believe, is a road flare below the passenger side dashboard of a JDM model. Here's a photo from some Russian site:

Just thought I'd post it up for the JDM-obsessed. Is your rig really complete without a genuine Toyota road flare?

That is so random. I want one. Amayama says it has them for about 12AUD. Might add one to the next order from them and see what happens, just for the hell of it.

Mine is an import, I’ve never actually been in a US 80, I went for US 60s to JDM 80s.

P.s. I thought the dash grab bar was also standard

You won’t get it. It’s a HAZMAT. They won’t ship.

BTDT.
