Now there's something I haven't seen before...

Those tail lights look similar to some that a few European members here have on their trucks, but the headlights are entirely new to me. That's a really interesting lens. Would love to see some more about them if you find anything.

Found some part numbers. According to Arteb's catalog, here's the applicable ones. They list an "Original Code" and an "Arteb Code." I'll list both for good measure, but it looks like the Arteb numbers are probably the ones we want. Just for the sake of records, I'll also list the part numbers for their parking lights and those euro tail lights.

HEADLIGHTS:

Left Side - 93255734 (Original Code) - 0160191 (Arteb Code)

Right Side - 93255735 (Original Code) - 0160192 (Arteb Code)

PARKING LIGHTS:

Left Side - 93235989 (Original Code) - 0560107 (Arteb Code)

Right Side - 93235990 (Original Code) - 0560108 (Arteb Code)

TAIL LIGHTS:

Left Side - 93255736 (Original Code) - 0460181 (Arteb Code)

Right Side - 93255737 (Original Code) - 0460182 (Arteb Code)

Throwing those Arteb part numbers into google brings up a TON of stuff. I even found them in stock at the Brazilian Wal-Mart website! We need to figure out the easiest way to get some shipped over here.

Updated catalog link, part numbers still the same.

EDIT - Also one other thing I noticed, these headlights appear to have a small third bulb socket in the low beam side of the housing. Maybe a 194 or 168 bulb for a DRL? Kind of makes sense, I seem to remember someone mentioning that the European tail lights were wired differently than ours as well. Something to do with the extra amber section for the turn signal...

I've found all this information myself previously, but have yet to find a way to get them lights easily in North America. If you figure out a way let us know, I would definitely be interested in a set if I ever were to find them.

Will do! There's got to be some kind of re-packaging service in Brazil that would receive a shipment for us and send it out internationally. I'll look into it, and I encourage anyone else who's interested to do the same. The more people we can get on it, the more likely someone is to figure it out.
