Hi Fella's.
I prefer the original ambers back on. What do you think?
Still weird having the white rear plate here in NZ.

Each to their own but for me I prefer the smoked rear lights, it looks like something is missing and to much white. If you prefer it though its your choice.

My 2wd Saff had the 4x4 vented bonnet and smoked rear light cluster fitted very soon after it was first on the road in late 1990 so when I bought it in 1995 I have never seen it any other way. Mine is not a standard car and it has never bothered me. Personal preference, I like it and others dont so they keep what they want.

Ambers big improvement.
Front amber indicators will be much better than clear on a white car imo.

Thanks Fella's,


I do like the look of the smokes too but in a sucker for putting cars back to standard. It is a 2wd so..


Thanks again to mjonathan24 for selling me these.

Smoked rears on the back of yours 100% looks better, especially as you have the white plate

Cheers Paul

Much prefer ambers on a 2wd regardless of colour. The white does look kinda cool with the white licence plate too

Like I said some will like it some wont.There is no hard and fast rules its just personal preference. If everyones Saffs were exactly the same it would be boring.

I like it more with the ambers to. You have to do what you like best mate.

Did you have to weld some holes? (behind the numberplate panel left and right)

Ambers for me.

All 2wd saffs should have the ambers fitted like they were as standard.
