Tail Lights S40-V40

posted by  someone claiming to be JM on  Thu Aug 15 11:25 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I was wondering if anyone knows of the existance of any "Euro" style tail lights for the S40... I have looked all over the place and on the internet but aparently these do not exist?!? I would like to replace all the exterior lenses w/ clear euro-style ones, if i cant find them, anyone have any idea if I could find a similar light and modify it?

any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Funny how in the US these altezza-style or completely white/clear rear lights are called 'Euro' lights, while these are definitely not used that much here :)

    Only now are we starting to see some european cars (eg. BWW 3-Compact series) with this sort of rear lights..

    The most you'll see here in europe are usually red-white combinations like the S40 already has. Red for the rear/brake/foglights and white for the reversing lights and indicators (using yellow bulbs).

    To stop the yellow bulbs from showing in the rear lights you could replace the standard ones with either Philips Silverstar or Osram Diadem bulbs. These still show yellow when turned on, but have a silver coating when off.

    Sorry.. Can't help you with really different rear light clusters. None available here AFAIK..

    Bye, Arno.
