the export model
Export versions of the C5 seem to have quite a few more lights on them than the domestic verions. I'm curious what they look like. I've seen pictures of the rear fog lights on the export version before (and GM should have done a better job with them!) but what do the other lights look like? there is a repeater light on the fenders, and from the service manual it looks like there is an additional forward light near where the fog lights are. does the export version have to have a separate turn signal and marker light or something? Just curious what it looks like.

I want a picture of that too! I bet the speed increments in 20's though, which I don't like. I think that all speedos should increment in 10's.

You need amber turn signals. Some have red over amber outers and red over clear inners (for the back up lights). I stuck with ambers and a smaller rear plate with the original back up lights
The stock export bumper has rear fog lights embedded.
I went with a square light to get through the SVA test (spec compliance test)
Once I'd got the paperwork I fitted LED lights in the lower vents
We also need the side repeaters on the front fender. i don't have a pic of the stock lights but its an oval amber lens on the fender itself
I went with an LED light above the BSMs
In UK of course we drive on the correct side of the road so I have T85 headlights which dip left.
