I need the Kia part numbers of the rear light clusters (both sides). <br>I know one or two of you have a set...Agent Smith, if the Matrix will let you, can you help please? <br>Or for that matter anyone. Just the part numbers, that's all I ask...<br> <br>Sy

[Andy]

Sy, you don't let up, do you?  Been a little busy w/ other matters, will look into your request.  Possibly get some pics for you this wkend.

[Sy V]

You are a star.  Sorry to keep pushing with this one but I know someone who is going to a meeting with Kia next week.<br>A boys gotta do what a boys gotta do!

[DeeAitch]

Stevo asks "why?"<br>For those in search of a body kit or new rear lights check out "Kia Elan-eks". <br>I'm trying to keep in Richards good books so am not inviting his comment Oh go on then, what do you think Richard?

[Richard_A_Clifton]

It's great.  Where can I get one?<br><br>One or two things I would change though.  For instance, the front, the rear, the sides, the top, the interior, the wheels and the colour.

[Sy V]

I have about 48 hrs left before it's too late to give my contact the part numbers, so, as a reminder, I have a contact who is going to a meeting in Korea with the Kia hierarchy this week.<br>he seems confident that he can do some deal for the rear light clusters but we need the part numbers.<br><br>[font=Verdana]Does anyone have the part numbers of the Kia Elan rear light clusters...please![/font]

Sy<br><br>I found this site http://clubelan.net/frame.php<br>I don't know if you have seen this but its an LEC for Kia Elan enthusists. I would post a message but I can't speak Korean or find out how to register.<br>Give it a try and let me know how you get on<br>Kev

[DeeAitch]

Tried my contact in Korea. He called the local dealer who said "Elan? Haven't made those for years" :-/<br>Helpful sod! <br>Still trying tho' (No, not for me Richard!!)

[Sy V]

Thanks to Agent Smith I have furnished my contact with a part number.<br><br>Group hug and pray time I think!

[DeeAitch]

Have been to this site before but only now did I see an "English" link ??? Can't find the lights but check out those seal prices <br>header rail seal about $85 <br>Seal-rail (Right) about $ 38 <br>Seal-B Pillar (Right) about $ 34 <br>Seal-rail (Left) about $ 38 <br>Seal-B Pillar (Left) about $ 38 <br><br>and white dials http://www.auw.co.kr/shop/index.phtml<br><br>That's WillB's Holiday sorted <br>

[greg]

What english link?<br><br>Seems like they have lots of bits .....

[WillB]

"That's WillB's Holiday sorted"<br><br>Nice action! I'll be needing a few windscreen seals....<br><br>

[DeeAitch]

As you know I am the original computer nerd so if I can do it then it must be easy ;D<br>I just ckicked on Kev's link http://clubelan.net/frame.php, cancelled all the download font crap and lo and behold I see the good old Union Jack with "English" in it. You will find it far left just below the rather nifty widescreen active picture thingy at about 8 o'clock. Left click on blighty takes you there faster than Concorde. Takes some navigating but you get there. <br>Seal prices are in one of the threads.<br>Elan stuff still in Korean tho'. Looks like a complete new instrument cluster or maybe a mask - all round white dials. Same shape tho' (Original Kia was similar to a N/A federal if such a thing ever existed :-/)

[Sy V]

IIRC, someone (may have been on the BBS) tried this clubelan site before.  Seemed to be very difficult to actually obtain anything that you ordered.  Please be careful.  Just my two pen'orth.<br><br>Sy

[Ashaman]

OK Dave,<br><br>I see the white dials, but where in the world are you finding the seals?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Joshua Lawrence

[DeeAitch]

Ashaman, they are listed in post No5 on the English board http://clubelan.net/board.php?id=english - not actually for sale just someone in Korea listing up the prices.<br>Now I look it was posted in 2001, maybe Sy can get his contact to see if they are still available or we could try a new post.<br>BTW posts 66 & 86 list up some Korean translations.

[Ashaman]

Oh, OK.  I was looking all over the website listed above for them, heheh.<br><br>It would be nice if there were available for that price, but I am not overly optimistic.  I think these things are more rare that the US Lotus Elans are...  I don't remember seeing one Kia Elan when I was over there.  Never know though, it would sure be worth getting a definite yes or no.<br>
