I'm still wondering if "illusive" is some homemade word that has to do with light transference (like "illuminating" re: the lenses) or a bizarre version of "elusive."

I wish I could put this dispute to rest 
. Like I said I will be home in 1 week to confirm any disputes, I really wish I had a photographic memory so I could tell you guys one way or the other. I never really worried about looking fast...just going fast .

I'm also looking forward to an Aussie member posting pics of his Vette, I think a '79, which he says has amber tail lights of some kind. I think this may be a chase where the goose gets caught.

Amber Lenses
Checked the lenses and they appear to have been been painted with a special amber lens paint. The globes could also be painted I suppose which would have the same effect. If this is not available in the States I may be able to help.

Oh it'll work...it just looks chincy. I've never liked the look of amber behind clear.
