Shaw · 06-01-2011, 08:31 PM

Hey all,
After being all excited on the previous thread

...
I do not recall exactly in which thread it was that we spoke about the headlight and their color,...
I GOT THE AMBER REAR TURN LIGHTS (EUROPEAN) THAT I WANTED!!!!

IT IS NOT RED WHICH I HATED...
So I think I am a pioneer in this...

Nahoa · 06-01-2011, 08:33 PM

Your post said "headlights" you wanted....but it's really the tail lights that changed? Do the front lights still have the orange turn signal & it's just the back turning light/flashers that changed? That's awesome they did it for you! Get some pics up!!

yes, the front ones are unforetunately still with the ugly orange...
frankly, I didn't even ask that one since it slipped my mind to do so...
I was so sensitive on the rear lights that forgot to mention the front ones. However, the fronts don't seem to be a killer since it is not too bad with a Mineral Silver after all. I would have had more issues if it was a black or Deep blue type of color...

Did you delete the roof rails off the sport activity package, or in Canada does that not come with it? First one I've seen with the trim accents but no roof rails. Two thumbs up

Beyu · 06-02-2011, 12:53 AM

So what exactly is different from the normal taillights? It looks the same as the US spec model.

I'm not exactly sure how that works... In canada the roof rails are selectable individually... btw, I don't have a sport package.
I have Exec./ Premium and technology packages. Probably it is part of either two (exec. or prem.)
I know that there is a X-Line option on the premium. Could that be it?

colton_matthias · 06-02-2011, 09:27 AM

I should of done this for front and back.... =S.... and should of asked for adaptive headlights too -.-"

torzeck · 06-02-2011, 04:24 PM

Crap, but good for you. I wanted them and thought we all had them as I thought Lateshow said he had them on his 35i.

Lateshow what say you?

Shaw · 06-02-2011, 08:39 PM

Amber lights (rear)...
It's got more than just orange light bulbs

Nahoa · 06-02-2011, 08:47 PM

I don't get it. What's actually different? From the photo only the light looks different to me. Would love to have the amber rear signals, any chance it's a bulb change?
