I believe early LJ had clear indicator lenses below the front bumper that were also the park lights.
Late LJ had amber lenses and the park lights were in the headlights.
If you have clear lenses you don't need the parkers in the headlights, they should be in the indicators.
I'm not sure what date this changed.

yeah changed in 73, dont know what month , but i have amber blinkers and cant run parkers with ambers lenses.. Someone has told me there is a fitting that holds the parker globe inline with the clear spot on the rear of the headlights. It supposedly attaches to the headlight wiring pins somehow??? I have also been told that they were / are a hella part, but i cant seem to find any info... :cry:

Hi

ADR6 (Direction Turn Signal Lamps) specifying amber turn signals was introduced on 1/1/1973.

The parker mount assembly is part of the headlight socket. The light itself is a twist in fit like the dash lights on the non circuit board clusters.

Picks below

This is the front of the socket. You can see the sockets for the headligh above, and the hole for the parker below. (No They are NOT blue parkers... they are the ICE globes which are substancialy brighter than your garden variety 5W globes)

This is side. As you can see the parker globe is a twist in fit.

Heres the seperate parker socket.

Hi Guys.

I doubt you would be able to buy these new any longer, 2nd hand (from wreckers) is probably the only source.

They were also fitted to 73/74 HQ, as well as TA, LH & LX Torana. HJ/X/Z One-Tonners with their standard HQ nose-cone also had them.

The small socket which holds the parking light globe itself was also used in the instrument clusters of many of these models.
