Is the sun out or is it midnight but your car is glowing?

Believe it or not Terry, the sun came out!

Just hope it makes an appearance on Wednesday now.

Learn something new every day! It appears my rear lights are wrong, 10 points for anyone who spots how/why they're incorrect
Thanks Junkyard

PLEASE tell me you aren't replacing your brake and reverse light covers with orange indicator ones to make them blend in

Are they upside down - you have the left on the right. Looking above at photo 1 side view it seems they are pointing down towards the ground

Well done that man! They went on the same as they came off, easy to tell as one had a snapped thread which was always on the OS. There was a discussion on a fb group that they were both the same and made no difference when someone pointed out they were on the wrong way round. Now rectified and now it's so bloody obvious!
Only downside is, where they'd been wrong for so long, the inside of the lenses at the bottom have discoloured with having dirt and grime sitting in there, did try to clean, but may need running through the dishwasher...

I should have spotted that, however I'm obsessed with noticing Dolomites whose front indicator/marker lamps are the wrong way round (yeah, yours are correct) so rear ones tend not to register.
