Just bought these ready to use in the restoration, similar size so should be able to make them fit with a little luck.

Hello,

I mailed them (autofast) this morning but I got this reply:

-
Dear Sir

I regret that this part is now obsolete - sorry.

Best Regards

Sorry about that. I ordered and recieved a set only a few month ago. Apperently I was just lucky. I guess the kia solution will be next best.

They went out of stock in May - that was what led to the search for a replacement in the first place.

any joy rocky?

Spotted the similarity a while ago. Would solve the problem at a stroke.

Anyoen got the measurement from screw centre to screw centre? I swear the ones on the Hilux opposite me are identical.

The screwhole centres are 146mm - I measured my old ones today after I finished fitting the Kia ones.

I went to my local KIA dealer in Derby. He wanted £24.50 + vat / indicator. Where are you guys getting them from and have you got a part number?

[richb]

So (justy out of interest) does the KIA use the same lenses as the Leyland van?

[swisss]

no, but they seem to fit well.

[clarenceboddiger]

Same story as S2Andy,I'm also being quoted £23+ each,Any Kia Part Numbers please for the lens only???????,Kia in Oldham are saying they cant get just the lens cover so it would be nice to give them their own part number.

I just walked into a kia dealer and asked for 2 lenses - he said the whole unit was 20-odd quid and the lenses were £3.84 - he got them in 2 days.

I don't know if I still have the receipt. If not, the bags they came in are still along in my garage. I'll look at the bags and the lenses themselves on Saturday and see if they have a number on.

No they are not the same lenses - they don't have the overlap around the black reflector bit. They fit INTO the recess rather than in front of it. See pics on my web site (on the august diary page).

The KIA part number on the spare lenses I have is KKY01 51073. They were 3.84 + VAT as mentioned earlier.

[clarenceboddiger]

Thank you jed-S,I shall delight in quoting their number to them,may even ask them to check again wether they do it or not first.
