i recently bought some smoked side indicator but i fear i bought the wrong one according to kudos. 

The one i got is 26100 RNC41. I attempted to install it but realised the light bulb makes it too long and touches the indicator cover. Could it be that my socket/housing is the wrong one or did i purchase the wrong indicator cover. 

mine is a 1999 i believe

Hmm according to Nismo that should be right part number for 1999.. otherwise you could try 26100-RNS51

Thanks Alex, your right. the 26100-RNS51 is after 8/2000. (http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/catalogue_2017/html5.html#page=297)

Im having issues fitting the 26100-RNC41 because the bulb is protruding out too much. Could this be due the the socket/bulb being the incorrect one ? Alternatively would the 26100-RNS51 be "deeper" so it would fit properly and not come in contact with the indicator?

TIA

Not sure on the depth of it, presumably it's similar just the shape changes. With those Nismo lenses you just use the OEM bulb holder but from memory they do come with a different bulb so could be the problem there ? 

Did you buy them brand new ?

Wonder if there's some smaller bulb you can get, maybe an LED one or something

I just bought the flat T10 led, that didn't work.. guess I'm paying a visit to the wreckers for a set of side indicator socket. Thanks for your help though.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
