Euro spec vs. US spec front turn signal / parking lights
« on: October 17, 2014, 04:09:59 AM »
I really like the look of the euro spec front turn signal / parking light lenses with the clear inside section and amber outer lens.

Are there actually different bulbs and carrier for the euro spec or would the clear/amber lenses work with the US spec setup?

I think we would need a picture of the US spec lights before saying one way or another?

The US spec are solid amber. We have just one bulb with twin filaments, one lights for parking and the other for turning.

Euro has a clear section, but my question is whether there are different bulbs for each section that light separately.

I'm also thinking the US ones are more square while the euro ones seem longer, more rectangular, but I could be mistaken about that.

US spec:

Hi

Yes, completely different, the Euro ones have two separate bulb holders and are much wider units.

I am sure a few folk will have spares of these, I have some on a spare set of 'fenders' (bumpers) if you need them, but not sure if the lenses are cracked, and I am away for the next 3 weeks....

Thanks for confirmation of my suspicion. I guess I'll have to be content with the US spec for now.
