paul0075 Hi Guys, I need to replace the tail lights on my 89 245, and want to put the aftermarket lights on with clear indicator lenses. I remember a while back having a discussion with one of my old NSW mechanics in regards to them, and he was suggesting they wouldn't receive a pass on a rego check because the cars originally came equipped with amber lenses instead. My wagon will be getting ACT rego, and will need new lights for it, as the existing ones are cracked, chipped and faded. Before I throw down $200+ on lights, I was wondering if someone had an understanding of the legislation or a link so I can decide. Thanks in advance Paul
timbo When have I ever given you a hard time getting a rego check? Just order the clear ones. The only thing they can fail you on with euro/clear tailight's is if there is no tuv/adr compliance details on the lenses. Even then I would only fail it if you bought in a clapped out ce lancer on 20" chrome wheels
carnut222 Not sure where you're getting the rear lights but I have the same type (clear indicator lenses with amber globes) on both my wagons and they look great IMHO and also seem to be pretty good quality. I can't recall where I bought them...possibly FCP but it was ages ago and I haven't seen them advertised anywhere lately. Looking forward to hearing more about the ones you're planning to buy.

Here's a couple pics of my 240 wagons with same lights fitted. I'm pretty happy with the quality for the price point and they've held up well (had them fitted for about 6-7 years).
