did certain years of cobra's (from 99-04) come with the tail lights that had the amber reflector for turn signals? as it turns out, once i get my car here, they are going to rewire my lights and take out my reverse lights as they aren't a requirement here in the UK.
IIRC, they are sort of hard to find and sought after. But any info would help and maybe I can get some ordered and here before my car arrives later this month.

IIRC the 99 and 2000 had the orange.. And you should definitely try and find me some Eclipse taillights with the orange corners

You would be the greatest ever!

Damn...those eclipse taillights cost like $600 to get over here. If I was ever in Europe there are a few cars i'd like to get headlights or taillights for

99 and 01 are the only cobras that had the amber lens. There were no 2000 cobras (cobra R only that year, and they had all red tails), and no 2002 cobra's stateside either (ford shipped all 02 model cobras to Australia). 03/04 had all red tails.

yeah, a goal in life is to go to australia, buy an 02 cobra, ship it back, and sell it for a hopeful fortune lol

lol doubtful man, sorry to say they're just a RHD 01 cobra with a couple extras:

I'm sure you could turn a profit on it.....but finding one of the only 100 shipped over is not easy.

i'd imagine it's not horrible unless you've got a stickshift....would take a while to get used to shifting left handed

98% of cars here are stick shift because they view having an automatic as someone not being able to drive.

Tousley Ford in White Bear Lake, MN.
email the parts department, tell them you got their name from SVTPerformance.com. They sell Ford parts for 10% over cost.
I've bought a few things off of them and never had a problem. Recently bought a set of 01 Headlights for about the same cost of the cheap-o knock offs.
