xzile609 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Is there an alternate car that these sidemarkers are on? I herd a certain model of BMW has some that may work. I need a set of sidemarkers to pass the break and light inspection. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 California brake & light inspection? Weird...never had the DMV look at anything other than the VIN when registering my 510 or 521. Quote Link to comment

AtlanticCoastDatsun Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 good luck on finding those markers. there were 3 different styles, I believe you have the earliest ones. You might find some but they will run you 200$+ Quote Link to comment
Npdavies. Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I didn't have any inspection when registering my 260z.. Wouldn't that only be if you had to deal with smog? Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I win! Yeah I have the repro ones and they seem good quality. I havent installed them yet, but just holding them they look and feel good. Im happy with the money I spent on them (like $25 shipped) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 The 520/521 through '69 used a similar 'arrow' style front side marker. #26160-B0100 Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Oh really! Lemme look those up. Mike I think your brain is hardwired into some kind of master Datsun database. Mike doesnt consult the Datsun Database... its actually the other way around. The Datsun Database is actually hardwired into Mikes head... so anytime Datsun needs info they consult him.

datzenmike Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ha ha the 520/521s are not a match but they are shaped similar. There's a 520 I shot in Saskatchewan years ago. The amber lens is missing but you can see the shape. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 O really I keep getting told they will want a break and light. Do they not check that? I've never had them ask, in 2 different (although adjacent) counties. Last time was just last May bringing my 521 into CA from OR. The guy didn't even really care that he couldn't find the frame VIN.

DAT510 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 There's a 520 I shot in Saskatchewan years ago. Well, why did you do that Mike? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 And that might be a 521... Anyways There are 2 types of arrows. USDM and either Euro or JDM spec ones. Basically on ours it looks like an arrow, top and bottom are curved, on the other type the top is more flat, with the bottom curving more. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 And that might be a 521... Well, looks like it's a '68 OR a '69 so could equally be an L520 or L521. Definitely not a PL521. Quote Link to comment
MYTE_510 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 i just got my repro arrow lights today and i too am happy with the money spent all though they came from Bangkok so took 3-4 weeks to arrive but i knew that when i bought them. Quote Link to comment

I only say 521, cuz the fender, headlight trim and grill are all 521. 520s have a completely different body line too them. Quote Link to comment
