The car was built on Nov 11. But so many guys are waiting because of so many factors. Hold on plant or foreign plant, raildepot etc.. My 97 Cobra is also in your registry.

Alloy Dave Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hey guys, I have a question for you. I saw a GT500 that was test driven by a British guy and it had different tail lamp colors. The middle segment was clear instead of red. Can any of you tell me more about this? Is it part of your safety laws? I wonder about swapping mine for those, I like them better...but I don't want to get in trouble with Johnny Law here. If I decide to go this way, can you find me a Ford part number? Here is the video link. http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/29/video-g...-on-fifth-gear/ Thoughts?

In Sweden the turnsignal cannot be the same color (ie red) as the brakelight, they have to be orange, usually behind a clear glass. We also have to have a turnsignal on each side of the car. Personally I think these changes are hideous... /Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Dave, I think in Britain they have to have large back up lights or it is a clear turnsignal with amber bulb. It probably is the latter. At 1.38 you can see the amber bulb. I do not have the partnumber for that. You also see the triangular Ford Mondeo side turnsignal lights. So you have to drill a hole. Not on my Shelby. In The Netherlands you have to have that too but I have a set of CDC turnsignal mirrorglasses. That is allowed. We also have to have clear glass turnsignals on the front but that is for getting the licenseplate only. After that I will change it back to original. Also we have to have a red foglight at the back which is a lot brighter then the other lights in the rear. We take the inner left light for that. The switch for that on my car will be a somewhere hanging under the dash thing. No drilling anywhere. ETA of my car at the dealer is this week and then mid Jan here.

Sounds like more trouble than I thought...wiring harnesses and so on perhaps too. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably order those lights in UK but if you use your harness it will be a brake light. And it would be strange to see when you put on your turn signal. Outside red and amber middle.

goumoun Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Got my GT500 2008 in process of export to France. Still in California for now. However I have got from ebay UK the clear rear lights (made in Taiwan ). They are good quality so far. They allow for amber turn signals and rear fog lights mandatory in the EC while having a clean look and wiring (provided with all connectors, only separate turn signals and a switched rear fog light signal must be provided). For me they look OK as they remind of the racing stripes on the car. The side repeater are not mandatory in France, so no drilling in the fender for me :rolleyes: . Also for EC the parking light must be eliminated from front signals and inserted inside headlamps (because amber parking light are not authorized). Beside paying the killing custom taxes, the most difficult part seem to reduce the noise to 73db at full throttle in 3rd gear. This requires modifications and there is some room for interpretation during the (damn expensive as well) test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
