Default Escort MK 4 1990 Spec RS Turbo rear lights.

Hi

First time I have ever posted a thread on this site.

I was wondering if any of you could sort out a disagrement that me and a few of my mates have been having.

Does anyone know if the 1990 spec Escort RS Turbo's came 'as standard' with smoked rear lights?

I personally think that no MK 4 escort came with smoked back lights but my mates disagree and say all 90 spec Escort RS Turbo's had smoked rear light clusters as standard.

Ive searched through the net and every car that is discribed as being totally standard has the normal coloured lights.

I guess if Im wrong Im wrong but I need to know.

Thanks in advance.

David

I knew I was right.

Dont mean to sound smug, but I was so sure.

Thanks again.

Agreed

This comes up now and again, I myslef have asked it. Looking at the microcat there is only one option.

All RS Turbo's came with the same red/orange/clear rear clusers. Every single one.

Any tinted items are aftermarket.

yep they do, but there is a gap where the s2 lights should go to as the s1 items are shorter. lad on s2rs.co.uk has them fitted to his s2
