The van lights are angled because of the angle on the body of the estate/van.  I see a number of trucks using the estate lights....but puts them at the wrong angle and won't reflect properly.

Thanks Hugh. I noticed that difference. Rear lens for sedans, wagons/estate/van and pick ups are all different.
This might be a 'stupic' question but has anybody attempted to use vans rears lens on a sedan using the adapter plate for MKI? Being flat, would the van lens be angled because of the MKI plate?
cheers,
Abel

They created a different version for the vans and wagons because the area they sit on is flat where the sedan is angled. Van/Wagon lenses are not sided but the sedan ones are.

Thanks Mark. I bought two light clusters some time ago but one them has some elements missing (orange lens, bulb holder, spring....) that I think I might be better off finding a complete one. Just let me know what you find, please,
cheers,
Abel

thanks for the link Scott.
I bought a set some years ago but the orange lens was missing. I was hoping somebody here would have one for sale. Shipping to the US is very steep these days,
cheers,
Abel

Probably EU regulations.
If so post Brexit there should be no more of that nonsense.

Hello,
I am looking for an orange lens for the Estate/Van and was wondering if anybody here has one for sale or trade. I bought a set of lens but that one was missing. It came with an extra lower (red) lens though, if anybody needs it,
cheers,
Abel
