      I actually bought the last set (so I was told) from Junspeed about (18?) months ago. Paid about $100 for them, I think? Nice to know FourGreen has 'em!

      • the 4G tailites have no DOT approval molded into the lens so they are for OFF ROAD USE ONLY.

        • i never actually removed one of these from a festy but just looking under the dash seems to confirm that this pride pedal assy is correct. only puzzle is that the axial return springs shown in the diagram (marked with asterisk) aren't visible on this assy. still, a smokin deal at $43 and heavy too. shipping is gonna be about as much as the part. kia part# KK156 43 300K.

              Id hazard a guess to say that the old school one is designed like the one in the diagram...

              The newer one, has the two springs that are pictured.

              I don't see why you couldn't swap them out.

RH - KK322 51 150B. LH - KK322 51 160B.




                I found this part number and wasn't sure if this might be of any interest..

                The number is for a set of tail light or one of the pair.

                • Got another question, I've seen headlight dipping switches for our cars but can't find the headlights that suit.. Any ideas as I've love to have those.

                    • jaw- that tailite part# is just for the left red lens. if you had good housings and wanted a go with the heat gun you could get all 6 lenses you'd need nd restore it but why bother?
                      headlamp leveling. you want the motors or the dash switch. kia pride or mazda 121. they use different motors. you also have to get the bracket that the headlamp mounts in. these are special for swiveling up and down. driver adjustable headlamps were standard, at least on all later model UK prides.

                        Definitely kia pride.. Mazda 121 wouldn't work without me changing grille and all that.. I just want the headlights, brackets, wiring and switch.

                              • driver adjustable head lights were mandated overseas when halogen and even brighter HID, Xenon were installed. there were safety concerns that these lights could be dangerous to oncoming drivers if due to a heavy rear load of passengers or cargo. now new cars over there with the brighter headlamps are required to have these systems adjust the headlamp aiming automatically with no driver input. this is something we should have over here but probably don't because of the added complexity, cost and the manufacturers lobby. Ebay Germany has a lot of the Pride adjusting headlamps. here is an auction for the switch.
