If you think they are small .... have a look at the old Minis ... they had tiny taillights.
The Capri taillights are a lot larger than some taillights I have seen out there.

The old HK? Holden had tiny taillights. I don't know if the model code is right, but it was the model in which the Morano was released.

If the capri was built today the lights would be huge and part of the design. However, you have two choices, appreciate the capri for it's vintage or Hot Rod it and make it what you like.

Personally I like vintage and hot rodding, If I had a mint Capri I wouldn't touch it. If I had a dog and nothing to play with I'd customise the crap out of it.

Much better than the shocking 80's trend of fitting UC Torana ones!

Are Capri tailights too small for the shape? That’s the question.

Take the hint Rob092.

i think the tail lights are fine and i have a capri gt. but i think the colour has to do with it or more
what i mean is the blacked out section. my whole car is black and they look fine to me.
