What do the JA tail lights look like out of curiousity? Is there a difference between JA and JB/JD? I like the Euro spec tail lights myself, those rear fog lamps and individual tail/brake lamps are cool.

Nice.

Now every time there's a cop car near you, you'll be afraid to put your indicators on rofl

Yeah I was going to say.. surely the red lamp indicators wont be legal? Mind you it's much better than boy racers with clear tail lights on their Hondas.

I had US Starion lights on my JD for a long time, Never had a problem with cops about them. I guess its the factory look about them.

When i convert all the lights to LED soon i might see if a orange LED bulb will give it a orange tinge.

I didn't care for the boxy look of the Starion tail lights,
so I installed Conquest tails on my car.
They have a cleaner, smoother look to them to me.
It just fit the look of my car better.

Good choice Brendan.

I was chasing US Starion lights but these came up and a deal was struck. Now ive got them on the car i think i made the right choice. Fairly unique in AU.

On the legality side about the red indicator. I got some Yellow LED bulbs for the indicators.. Red + Yellow = Orange.
Tested it out and hey presto orange indicators. Just need a new flasher unit that will work with LED

Got the LED bulbs in and a LED compatible flasher unit. Indicators now flash amber, but still looks Red when not in operation.

Also put in new LED tail light bulbs. Makes the car look alot better at night.
