I put on my rear euro lenses and am noticing that the turn signal part (orange) lights up with the red when my lights are on.
When I hit the brakes the red light up brighter. Turn signals, the orange gets brighter. Is the wiring different on the euro cars? Do they drive around with the orange lights on all the time? I don;t really drive at night but I have been pulled over for this before when I owned my MG with euro lenses. |

in the 70's, US vehicle codes called for side view facing lamps which were yellow at the front and red at the rear. . having yellow show at the rear is the legal infraction. . so changing bulb positions will do nothing to make Euro lens' legal in the US. .
and that's why we have front fender warts also. . taking them off is also an infraction |
