2nd Gen R55 Clubman Most liked posts in thread: Want amber rear turn signals

I bought Brit spec amber signal rear lights for my 06 MINI from NewMINIparts.com.

PM Steven at eMINIparts.com & see if he can source you amber signals for your clubster. My wife's 2008 clubster has amber turn signals maybe they'll swap over to your 2013.

 

I too am looking for the Yellow turn signals for my 2011 Clubman. 2011 was the first year they went to an LED light in the tail. I know earlier Clubmans prior to 2011 either came with a red turn signal on Justas and clear with yellow bulb turn signal on the S models. I just sent a email to UK to see if they can get them for me. Will keep you posted.

 

The scheme of the amber turn signals is different than the newer red rear.

I bought a set of 2008 and they still sit in my garage because I would have to come up with something to wire them up. Besides a completely diff connector , the red turns are also brakes where as the amber assy has separate bulbs.

Physically they fit fine but I have no idea how to make them function without a bulb out indication.

 

You guys all must be out west because we don't use turn signals east coast.

That's what bumpers are for. :lol:

 

Virtually every country in the world requires amber rear turn-signals, but the US and its vehicle regulation copy-cat buddy, Canada, don't. There is no good reason for red turn signals - and many common sense reasons for brake lights and turn signals to be different distinct colors.

Cheap-ass auto manufacturers scrimp and go for all-red turn-signals for their US/Canadian market cars because they can get away with it to save a few pennies.

 

some day I'll sit down and come up with a way to use the amber light len's , in the mean time they sit in my garage.

 

You can't Just change out 2010 taillights, with amber turn signals, with later all red tail lights?

 

all red use one bulb that gets different voltages, like 8V for running and goes to 12V for brakes so the power coming from control module is completely different from those with a seperate brake and turn which has 2 bulbs.
