    I was just flicking between your picture and the one on the link that Kat posted and they look different. The angles on th JDM one are much softer. I'm not sure the US one would actually fit. Maybe someone could post a picture similar to muddy's so we can compare better???

    If not, good luck on the official part - best be sitting down when they call you!

    It says below that picture that it's just a "generic representative" of a rear tail light, not the actual one, so that explains the different appearance.

    Well it maybe that I do go for a new one from Japan, The bloke rang me back and said he can't get an exact price until Tuesday but he has found the part number and thinks the part should come in at around £80 to £100 at his best guess. The good thing is, on top of this I will only need to pay UK delivery because they would just ship it over as part of there next bulk order. Just got to wait to find out the exact price
    finger crossed...

    So it could be that it works out cheaper to get a new one, with a second hand one from the States at around $160 plus shipping of about $55, in UK money that totals just under £150 (maybe £50 more than a new one).

    Ah that explains it! Although the one in the picture is quite sexy

    @Fuddy - That is good news! Lets hope his guess is accurate!

    Just placed my order for the new light unit from Isuzu

    It was £94.62 plus the vat (£111.18 total)

    should arrive with me in the next 18 days

    Good to know you can still get new parts for these beasts

    Thanks again for all the good advice guys

    so MF where did you finally order the replacement from? How were you able to identify the exact part you wanted? The price seems very good, so a contact number/address would be good to know in the future.
