Can anyone translate this.. Japanese word.

[mc_lovin]

Hey!  If anyone happens to speak Japanese.. A friend of mine is looking for a car accessory and we don't know the name of it.  It is listed in a catalog and we scanned the text for it:



Through some translator program we were able to figure out that the first part is the word 'fender' which is right.  We just don't know the last 5 characters. 

Let me know if you are able to come up with anything.  There are a lot of apps for phones that do translation but not very many PC programs that do images.

Better known as a hood ornament here in the states.

yeah.  we concluded that the text was too vague to accurately describe what it is.  fender mascot or fender trim/decoration doesn't help much

essentially,

we are trying to figure out what the little fender lights are called on Japanese cars?  little green LEDs, some sort of parking assist thing.  he was cleaning his and the clear lens broke, very difficult to source parts that are on every car and this looks like a factory option. 

From a 1989 Toyota MR2 Super Edition Pic

We've seen them on Hondas before and even VW, here's one on a Toyota Soarer.  Just no idea what they are called.  Saw it in a MR2 accessories catalog but if the text just reads 'trim' then the search continues.

インジケータライトレンズ = Indicator Light Lens

If I knew exactly what part I was looking for from the make and model, I would be able to obtain an OEM part number, then use that number while searching Japanese sites, translating back and forth along the way.

Spot on. Looks like every single character is correct. May I ask how you did this with such high accuracy?

Only the 3rd character looks a slightly off, does this matter?

I'd assume he knows katakana, which is what this is written in, and then used a Japanese keyboard layout.

I've found it handy from time to time to know hiragana and katakana. Between the two of  them, there's only about a hundred "things" (characters plus modifier patterns, e.g. "ka" to "ga" is the same as "ko" to "go" and the same modification (the dakuten) turns sa to za) to memorize.

Also, the third character is correct. Just different fonts for the 'n' sound.

If you can find this thing, we would probably pay a bounty on the part number!  Any leads would be most excellent.

It's a 1989 Toyota MR2 Super Edition.  The last 270 MR2s to ever roll off the production line were Super Editions, there is only 1 in North America and he has it.  In these catalogues though, it seems that the G-Limited and other models might have that part as an option.  There were also a few white Super Editions made in 1988, whereas all the 1989's were Midnight Blue with mirror T-Tops + Recaro seats.  Not exactly a lot of extras...



Note that the lights aren't on the one in the brochure.  This is the only Super Edition we've seen that has them.  But it is a factory option.  

Another picture of the brochure.

Here's a picture of the exact car when they took it off the boat from Japan:



Rear visor text.

and other random toyotas seem to have them.

When I get there tonight I'll scan the pictures in the brochures, try to add more information to the search!

Cheers for that. I tried with an OCR to which I got:

Just to make sure I'm hunting the correct part, is it shown on this MR2SE?
