All Australian built cars all had a clear lens with a dual fillament globe for the parking light and blinker.
The Poms used the amber lens, If you have amber lens you stick the parking light in the headlight. :wink:

My parkers are both the indicator type (like supposed to be) and in head light, godbless the H4 lenses! 8) I've got it wired to my immobilser so i can press the button and make all the fornt lights flash, looks rather funny when people are looking at my car at night, gives them a shock!

BTW Hanra those tyres look very new! I know you don't drive it much but...wow. Anyways to keep your car like that you couldn't drive it but that's another thread altogether...

When I moved to QLD I had to put on clear lenses to pass rego as the amber ones are illegal. In NSW amber parkers/indicators were fine.

Hi Guys
I realise Hanra's question relates to Australia but there is an interesting detail here as far as New Zealand goes. Apparently, English assembled cars were modified here and a another wire, dual filament bulb and holder were fitted and the park light was removed from the headlight. Officially, the amber lens was to have been replaced with a clear one but it seems many weren't. Could this situation have been the same in Oz?

As a footnote, the question why comes to mind. There were many cars here with parklights within the headlight and there was never any problem with compliance back then. It's a bit of a mystery!

Regards
Al
