My English 'vette pen-pal just sent me a report of the 2002 UK Corvette Nationals, including several JPeg photos. One of a C5's ample rear end, showed it had TWO large, EXTRA tailights below the four standard ones and about even with the license plate well. I questioned him about them, and he replied that he was not sure if they are fitted in the States or when they arrived in the destination country, but they do only appear on Euro Spec cars. When I asked, he replied that they are used as high visibility rear lights (fog lights) and come on when dipped (low) beam lights are used; also that they looked as though they have been put on as an afterthought, since they stick out from the rear fascia, and that owners who had 'brought in' U.S. spec cars prefered to place twin lights below and under the rear of the car or alternatively, replace one of the reverse lights to become a single fog light.
Meanwhile, back in the states, Bowling Green factory tour guides have described as "export standard" cars on the line with divided red/yellow lenses replacing the standard U.S. lights.
Can anyone further explain this? I've tried to attach one of the pictures of the U.K. cars.
