AU 2 utes, different to sedans?

[falzoony]

This has probably been asked before and if it has I appologize.

I have an AU2 forte which came out with the orange side indicators. however my brother has a series 2 ute (built early 2002) which has clear indicators on it. why is this so?

the important thing is that the clear indicators are now on my car and his ute is stuck with my orange ones

[The Monty]

Its a series 2, and high series AU1 thing. I have them on my Fairmont, mums forte doesnt.

[loony888]

i think the clear side indicators are std on fairmonts, fairlanes etc and serIII falcons.
i have clear ones on my serII XLS ute, but they're not std.

[V3RSAC3]

well not on series 1 ... i got an AUI Fairmont and i got Orange indicators ... and my compare has got an AUI Fairlane with orange indicators ... i think it was higher model AUII'z and all AUIII'z??

just remember to change the GLOBEs as well when u change all this!

[Mechan1k]

My series II XLS ute had orange ones when i bought it ... I got the clear ones from Ford for bugger all.
I think the XRs had the clear ones though ... but not 100% sure.

[The Monty]

Well me and blacker10 have both series ones, a Fairmont and a fairlane. Mine has clear (factory) and so does Blackers (I think). Just Ford being random like normal.

[au2sw]

both fortes i have owned had orange, s1 and currently s2. i always thought it was just a s3 thing.....now im all confused:

[protd]

our au 3 xr8 ute has orange indicators from factory, i know this as they were there when we bought the car new, probably just a random thing with the au models maybe, no big deal really

[Peuty]

Ok, as far as I know.....

AU1 Forte Futura XR = Orange
AU1 Fairmont Fairlane = Clear with orange sleeve

AU11 Forte Futura XR = Orange
AU11 Fairmont Fairlane = Clear

AU111 Clear across the board

Feel free to correct me.

My AUII Fairlane had orange lenses. I did some research and found that, for Fairlanes at least, it was changed part way through the AUII run.

That sounds about right to me.

[anarchyok]

correct however no AU2 sedan got the clear ones, all orange. Parents Fairmont has them and has had them since new. AU3 all sedans and utes got them.

[falzoony]

^^soo what the conclusion I have came to is that all series one have orange lights, all series two's have orange apart from the later model utes and fairlanes and every series three's have clear indicator lights. correct?

as far as i know, yup

[The Monty]

Welll, not all series one had orange ones, mine has clear from the factory (as far as I know). Series one Fairmont. I maybe it was a case of whoever put them in, chose the colour?

I think you were right before when you said that ford was just being random like normal.

[HLC]

both my AU2 Fairmont and my folks AU2 Fairlane had orange side indicators from factory.


Both have now got clear side indicators lol

[Dark Horse]

AUI Fairmont Ghia - yellow in clear sleeve;
Very late build AUII's and all AUIII's - clear.

[Bill M]

AUII XR6 ute November 2001 build with clear side indicators from new.
cheers
Bill.

If its Ford being random - anyone have one of each? lol

I'm also curious - I see some AUs with the front indicator (in headlight) being orange in appearance? Most I see are just clear, but some are obviously orange - I seem to have fairmonts in mind?

Cheers Nic
