Post by: Moby on January 27, 2020, 06:21:36 pm
Lost the right rear yellow signal lens.
Any ideas where I can get one?

Isuzu Impulse, nearly unobtainium but here's some previous discussion to help a junkyard, ahem "vintage auto parts", search

Same year impulse as RV, or any year model?

The links I included mention which years Impulse.  Late 80's, I think I recall seeing in them.

1984 through 1987 Isuzu Impulse tail lights.  They are swapped (side to side) when installed on our GVs, so if you lost the amber lens from the passenger side of your coach, you would need to find a driver side tail light unit off a donor Impulse.

I don't know what those lights came from, but obviously not from a Impulse.

BUT, perhaps they are correct.  Does the '93 U225 have different lights than the '93 U280?  I'm not sure...

No, I just looked at some photos of a '93 U225.  Same tail lights as my coach.

Photos below of what the OP needs to find.  Notice I added stainless bolts to my amber lenses to prevent premature ejection.

Didn't someone a few weeks ago post an entire list of places that have the correct Isuzu taillights?

A couple of years ago I did a search for the same part: passenger side yellow lens for my 1993 U225. After looking through several parts locators and websites I finally found the complete lens assembly at FOT. I could not buy just the yellow lens; I had to buy the complete assembly; about $400.

Remember what was previously stated: the lenses are reversed from the original Isuzu Impulses. Right is left, left is right and mounted upside down. Makes sense?
