Optic Fibre Thingy.. Out Of Curiosity..

[toosea]

Hi guys,

I was replacing a front signal cum parking light with a reconditioned one and found this thing attached inside.

The head part was screwed and fixed in to the parking light area and the fibre lead was leading

out like a wire. The fibre lead was cut off when I bought it. I couldn't figure out what this thing

was at first and thought the wire was a conducting wire..

but then cleaned away the sheath to find a bundle of thin optic fibres.

Just being curios here.. any idea about the function of this thing?

Was this on the left turn signal? If so it probably could be an aftermarket corner lamp or flag pole light as its commonly known.. I'm not too sure though. When the corner lamps are broken or removed some people just stuff the wiring an lights inside!

Yes I got it now. For the record it is the feeding cable to the small light on top of the fender. Only now I understood how this light works. Wonder if the cables are in tact of these lights...
