    Rear lights

    Is it just my Patrol or do all models have 'fake' light housing at the back.
    The indicators and brakes light up on the bottom bar but the side lights only work for the reverse light.
    Do I have a wiring issue?

    Cheers Clunk,

    I will start searching.
    I think I would prefer them to work seeing as I am taking them everywhere I go.

    The brake lights would be number 1 for me anything else would be a bonus.
    Being colour blind it may be a job for an autolec.

    I went from Victoria to Albany WA before I noticed that rear lights were not working , went to the REPCO told them model year etc and bought the globes then went back to where I was staying for the week and preceded to replace globes , after a half hour of stuffing around unsuccessfully someone pointed out there were no globes it's the way it was made .
    A quick google check and sure enough no globes needed not even any holes to put them in let alone wires for them .
    Felt like a , well let's just say I never took the globes back to the other idiot that sold them to me .

    I only noticed when my wife drove off in the Patrol to let me hear how the 3 inch exhaust sounded.

    if you put series 3 lens in that will give you 2 clear compartments each side for either
    yellow globes for indicators or white LED like I have for reverse
