Title: Facelift estate..rear lights
Post by bonnietiler on Aug 25^th, 2010, 8:11am

I wonder, I've replaced the front lights and the grille on my pre-facelift estate, tell me were the rear lights left alone or did they make a darkened rear light also, and if they did where can I get a pair?
Cheers
brian

No change to the rear light's Brian. Carried over from the Granada's ;-)

Someone told me the Granada & Scorpio estate rear lights are the same as those on a Sierra estate ??? Can anyone confirm ?

Scorpio estate rear lights are different to the Sierra and Granada.

they are physically the same size but the Scorpio ones dont have the reversing lights in the cluster as they are now either side of the number plate

My Scorpio hearses have Granada tail lamps to provide the reversing lights,they have of course,a large fibreglass taigate,and saloon bumpers with the number plate in them.

I have darkened rear lights in my estate that im breaking. I did them a few years ago now as well as a set of red US style lamps in my old Granada Scorpio.

Both modifications allowed the indicator lamp to shine through ok. Im not sure if I still have the red ones but the smoked ones are available.

Not sure if you would need additional reflectors to keep the mot man happy.
