Default Rear lights question

Hi all,

I get my series 2 tomorrow and it has standard rear lights. I've noticed that burton sell a set of "Ultra" branded Red/Smoked Tail Lights for the MK4 and wondered if anyone had any pics of them fitted and wether they re like the 90 spec jobbies.

Cheers,

Lee

They're the kiddies. Does anyone know if the smoked parts are that light? Anyone got pics of them fitted?

So, all RST's should have the smoked lights then.

And there's me thinking it was only the 90 spec ones, DOH!

Well, I got these anyway:


Cheers Guys!

No, 90 spec lights are the same as the normal untinted lights available on every other Mk4 escort....the smoked ones are all aftermarket ones
