Very nice. Quick question why do all\ most USA cars have orange side lights and enlarged rear number plate lights?

US laws... Though most of us change our sidemarkers to clear like the Euros.

Thanks mate for the ianswer.

I figured it was a law, but was looking for the rational behind it.

There are a bunch of US-specific laws which is why we can't have the Clubsport package with a cage, fixed carbon seats (no airbags), and Lexan windows, why we can't have lowered suspensions (headlights have to be a certain height from the ground), why many of our cars are speed-limited lower than the rest of the world (because most cars require all-season tires), etc. etc. It's very annoying. It's also a big reason a lot of other manufacturers don't sell cars here.

I think tint is up next... then I'd really like to lower it. After that, we'll see!
