So which front indicators were fitted to which rev?

Post by acf8181 »

Just been wondering what was standard for each rev? and also were imports different

Mine (rev3 import) has all clear bar the clip in reflector bit which are orange. Yet, a spare pair in my loft are orange/clear section/orange reflector. (hope that makes sense).

Also wondering if i can just buy the clear reflector on its own from anywere to make mine full clear?

Sounds like someone made a hybrid (maybe they bought clear version from Toyota, but only of the actual lens and not the matching trim) to get it through SVA. That said, imports make it through SVA with orange sidelights anyhow... just like an MOT, it's not a perfect test and just because a car made it through, that doesn't mean it's strictly legal.

I did the clear lenses with the orange reflector on my UK rev3. Now on the turbo I have the full orange to keep it oem.
