Expy tailights?

Just wondering why Ford never made the tailights on the Expy like other vehicles(Explorer for instance) with an ORANGE/RED/WHITE tailight?

Is it a money $aving thing or?

Are there any available like that?

just curious, not a fan of all read tailights

I doubt it was a money saving scheme....probably had more to do with the designer's taste.

I prefer amber signal lights too. I know we had to get the tail lights converted to European specs when we shipped our 94 Explorer to England.

I put some euro-style ones on mine, you can see them in my gallery - they are still mostly red because the expy only has 1 bulb for the tail lights.

I'm 99% sure it was a design issue - all red is a sharper, more "euro" image.

I personally like them.
