Lol maybe
It was on nz last thusday

The only issue is the mates off to sema
So might have to wait until he gets back now

But yes if boat sinks would be a good reason to buy the black one

Lol they do look good

Export tail light are orange lenses that were fitted to vettes exported to Japan
As they need orange indicators in Japan
Like we do in Australia

Was very lucky to find them
