Has anyone a guide for converting the US tail lights?

i heard the top brake/tail is the same but the smaller one needs opening up to accept indicator holder

cheers in advance

I have a load of pdf 'how to' guides saved on my pc. This is the closest I could find to doing the conversion. I used to have a more detailed guide on it, as I done it myself.

easy to do done may sets, either widen hole to accept larger lower bulb holder or make a patch lead, upper light simply requires a few extra sealing rings

in pristine condition around £100 any damage or fading half that, in the states they are pretty worthless

Yeah about once a month I have a walk around a breakers near my wife's place in America and see them all the time.

if you picked them up for say $40 a pair you would treble the investment for sure as theres always a demand for good ones as fits all mk1s inc the RS

Interesting to know. The breakers always has focus's in

Currently they are showing the following but actually going there they will probably have a load that is not listed

dont know why but british 170 owners are desperate for anything off the svt, things like the steering wheel, heater dial surround, cruise control, badges you name it, when I used to break 170s I had a pal in dallas who used to ship me loads in one hit and they always sold very well, even the bumpers which are pig ugly sell for nearly a grand a pair

I know nothing about the svt do you have any pictures of what one of them looks like?

I'm sure I've seen a few of them in being broken. No one touches them so parts just get crushed.

yep thats right as my pal over there said the same as its not a V8 lol, lucky though the lights on them were used up to 2007, as when they did the facelift version they used the mk2 front end but left the rear end mk1, looks very odd

Just a shame shipping is too expensive for a lot of the stuff.

Who did you use to use for your stuff?
