2008 dodge 1000---L300 made for mexico

Post by after oil »

i encountered this van all over mexico. its a 2wd gasser of course.
i finally got a good look at one in the campground in sayulita. i hoped the headlights would be a cheaper alternative to the depo lights, but of course they aint DOT

however i wonder if the sliding windows would match up so everybody who wanted a slider could maybe order from mexico.

DOT or not, if those lights fit in my L300, Im all over them like ugly on Rosie O'Donnell.

Did you happen to take any quick measurements on them ?

hi, its the same size but no dot or e-mark on it.
it will fit exact to our deli but need to do modification for wiring harness.
as per middle sliding window yes its the same but i guess again no dot or as1 or as2 mark on the glass as this L300 delica is made in taiwan.
hope this help,
Cheers;
Mardy

This is the new badge-engineered Mazda Bongo/Nissan Vanette, which is a completely different design from our Star Wagons, even though it looks superficially like them. L300 Star Wagons were last made by Mitsubishi in 1998. Dunno about Hyundai's version.

I looked very carefully at Hyundai Grace headlights while in Costa Rica last month, but never got around to actually measuring them.

They don't need to be DOT, as long as they are e-code... and they should be as Mexico is a UNECE country...

Those tails are nice too...little bit of yellow lense delete looks nice without the j-spec premium.

there is a slider on both sides. the slider hardware is identical to ours, the back door i am pretty sure would swap.

even the centre console and would swap

some enterprising individual might look into importing brand new, tariff free delica parts from nafta friendly mexico

DOT be damned,
I want to be able to SAN ( see at night).

Mardy, if you think they fit and you have a line on them , order me up a set. In the meantime , I have a friend in Mexico City looking into them as well for avails and pricing.

The Depo website sells both the headlamps and the tail lamps that are on the Dodge 1000. They are under replacement parts for the L300.
