Tinted lights from factory?

Post by tommy10101 »

Hi all,

Here is my rev3 tubby. Just wondered if my lights have been tinted? looks like they have compared to photos ive seen. Was it an option from factory does anyone know? or was this done by a previous owner?

Also, i notice my rear lights are red either side of the orange indicator section. Most other MR2 i have seen the outer section is all orange. Any ideas why?


Many thanks all

Cheers
Tom

United States domestic market?

Does that mean my car was built for the American market? Surely then it should have been left hand drive? I’m confused

What are the differences between JDM and USDM?

No its not a USDM car. The red triangles fitted forward of the rear indicators are USDM, UK and JDM triangles would normally be amber, same as the indicators
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
