Rear Lights

What am i missing here? Why did mine not come with these bumper lights? Notg that it matters anymore i dont have the standard rear bar now anyway. Was this only after a certain year they decided to "improvise"

AHHHH Just looked are we talking GU here not GQ?

There must have been a ADR change in about '92 where the powers that be decided that the off centre mounted spare wheel obstructed visibillity of the RH upper tail light when viewed from some angles, so that's why later GQ's had bumper mounted tail lights that the earlier GQ's did not.

Even if you were to fit ADR approved upper tail lights (and remove the bumper mounted lights) they would still not be legal unless you permanently removed/relocated your spare wheel.

Which is exactly what I've done - spare wheel now housed on top of the drawer system in the back. Stops those pesky rattles on the door frame also (especially when off the black stuff).
