Notice the little bulb? Wonder what it was for? Edit. Parking light. My 75 doesn't have it.

Alright, since you have your big fancy EPC thing, riddle me this: my mid - '74 Pig (VIN: FJ55-41xxx) has a light at the end of the turn signal stalk. Is that factory?

I could have had that number run when I was at the dealer today. I gave them a list of probably 50 part numbers for the FJ45LV to see what's available (I'm expecting that most of it will come back "Discontinued" but it's worth a try). Here in Guatemala it doesn't matter to them if it's Guatemalan orginally or not like it does stateside. I wonder what they think when a gringo like me comes in with a list of part numbers.
If you wanted to mount those on a U.S. '55 you'd need to cut out the reflector area as the body is solid behind the reflector on U.S. models.

pics? would love to see it. My guess is that its a compatible turn signal switch from another model. seen quite a few very similar turn signal switches from early toyota cars that only differed in the stalk design...
Marshall, might also be worth the shot in the dark to see if the Aussie spec quarter panels were still available, since they would be different for the rear reflector light.
Euro early BMW's had similar small lights in the front and rear blinkers/taillights that turned on when the fog lights were on, with headlights off IIRC.

Part Number
I had those part numbers run this morning and it did not come up. Maybe CruiserDan can find them.

Thats funny, I have 1 of those: Bought some stuff from a guy in Australia a couple of years ago and the guy said he had a rear reflector for $5.00 AU. I thought it would be good to have a spare so I had him throw it in. I got the package and said "what?". So, it sits in a box.

Is the base plastic?
Yep, plastic. Guessing the body would have an open cavity where our reflectors are and so, the outer lip of the housing and the lens would be all that was outside the body. When I looked at the picture of the guys rig it was dead on on the back and you could not make out relief or lack of chrome ring...kind of a bad shot frm a dist..

I failed to get a pic before I shipped that Pig. It ended up back in Salt Lake now from what I hear...
Very old thread, but this showed up in the Netherlands today:
If the link doesn’t work: picture:
