No, Shroomster, I mean very Japanese... insofar as all Japanese cars in Japan have sidemarkers, but not all Japanese cars in the US have them!

Japanese cars in America are unfortunately very different than those in Japan... even the very few we've had in common over the years. The fact is that most of the Japanese cars in the US don't even exist in Japan.

The Yaris/Vitz is one of the few exceptions; it is sold in Japan and it landed in the States without being completely Americanized for our tasteless market.

Just found out mine is cracked....wish me good luck talking with the dealer tmr.

YANGSTER · 08-28-2007, 01:51 PM

Got mine replaced at the dealer...no questions asked.
Apparently they've seen it many times already, maybe there should be a recall.

Whats cracking it? Did they say it was a defect in the plastic or something?

Good to hear it was replaced without the normal Stealership issues.

ttufrosty, Chris07LB had a write up about this lamp awhile back; removal to change out/replace bulb etc. You should check it out. From what You explained, YOU May have cracked it when it got hit/moved. They come off by sliding them. So, You May have cracked it when you brushed up against it accidentially. But anyway, just thought I would mention the write up.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)

I think somewhere in the DIY I also showed how to remove them..
