American rear style indicators

Does anyone know if having red indicators, american style, will get through the SVA?

have you EVER seen a current car with red indicators?

there was a time when red rear and white fronts were allowed, but not for decades.

I had thought that was the case, but I'm currently very much liking the twin round style of brake lights on the WLR and Ultima, but with the limited space on the back panel (don't want to put lights on the arches) it would probably be too cluttered to be effective if I has separate indicators.




Cheers for the input though.

if you put the rear lights on the rear panel you might find they fall foul of the min/max measurment

They are too far inboard on the rear panel. There is a round trailer type light available somewhere with the indicator as an orange strip in the middle of a round rear light.

yours, Pete.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I knew I'd seen them somewhere, they were in the Hella catalogue at the local spares shop. Used in multiples on artic trailers.
