What are the dimensions? It may be large enough to be a turn signal gel that is part of the headlight. ---

Can you post another photo with something like a pen next to it for scale? ---

Yea that’s what I think it is. But I only have the picture. Do you have a best guess? ---

Google has an image search function. Compares the image you submit to images all over the internet. Fairly easy to use but forget exactly how to do it, maybe Google “google image search” for instructions. ---

Being just a piece of the light housing the image search won’t likely find a match, it didn’t for me. Those four stripes are unusual, not that I’ve remember seeing them. ---

Can you give us a hint, are you in the USA; if not what country are you in? Do you know if the “sedan” is American, European, or an Asian model? And finally, describe what you think a “sedan” is, a 2-door, 4-door, sports car, family car, etc… ---

No luck here either… I agree with LoudThunder, try to narrow it down a little, was it big Lincoln Town Car size car or a small Honda Civic size car??? Best bet might be taking it to an older body shop that pays more attention to what cars look like and might have a turn signal catalog you could look at or even recognize it… ---

Sometimes there are part numbers on the lens or used to be. I suspect though this is a little private detecting that probably won’t yield much even if the car is identified.
