FK Rear Lights - what is the point !!!!!!!!!

[PoorMansPorsche 0]

alrighty peeps,

 

finally got round to fitting my rear smoked / red FK's and i dont just understand them - what is the point of making them "nearly" the same as the OEM's but not quite - how difficult would it have been to put the holes in for the original plastic brackets - they were 90% there - i just wedged my originals light mounts in

 

moan moan

 

ramble over

I always wondered why they never looked "quite" right.

At the end of they day they were well overdue tbh, only came out in 2000 i think. 4 years AFTER rados went out of production

bit of tape or something to hold them in she'll be right

they should have the clips though, I actually emailed to see if they were right.

OK, the reason that they're a slightly different design is so that muppets don't use white bulbs in the indicators, as they're designed to use amber bulbs instead... ;)

 

If FK/Inpro allowed you to use the original bulb holder, they wouldn't get TUV certification as you could then have white indicators and (if you were a muppet) maybe wouldn't realise....

 

The holders they supply have an offset pin configuration on the indicator bulb holder so you can't (unless you really try!) put in a white bulb. Amber bulbs nearly always come with an offset pin so will fit... 8)

 

Simply terminate the supplied bulb holders with male spade terminals and plug 'em into the original wiring so that you're using the supplied holders without having to mess around with the original wiring... 8)
