Hello all,

On my I30cw (2011) drivers side mirror indicator stopped working and I started searching for replacement part. I found out that there were bit of confusion on what part number the indicator should be and would they still fit. I was told that on Czech made cars the left side indicator is part code 876142R000 and on others 876132L600. However, I could find only 876132L600 parts on ebay and there were warnings that they would not fit. But they were so much cheaper (20-30e/pcs including shipping) so I decided to at least try.
On bottom is original part (876142R000) and on top Korean part (876132L600 made by Hyundai mobis). You can see that the connector placement is different and also the rib at the end is in different place.

Still it was possible to install the Korean part by taking off the rib and drilling a hole in the cover part for the connector. Afterwards I noticed that it is not necessary to cut off the rib if you carve a place for it on the cover part. That way the indicator would be better secured on its place.
