[Shotimes] Limited Edition SHO Note

[Dave Kegel]

I can't believe I never heard this over the last ten years.  I'd love to
see a picture of one.  Anyone know if the taillights are available?  I
happen to like amber turn signals.

I'd be surprised if they were RHD.  If they were, even if they were
e-code headlights we couldn't use them then, the cutoff goes the wrong
direction.  We would need e-code lights from a LHD country, which I've
been told don't exist.

I don't believe that Japan exports had anything to do with the clear
headlights of the '94/95 Taurus SE and LS.  Every car manufacturer was
starting to experiment with those lights at that time.

Don,

When we went to the factory as part of the '93 convention in Atlanta, I
remember seeing Japanese exports distinguished by their yellow
taillights but I don't recall if they had RHD - do you?

Dave,

There were Gen 2 Taurus's exported to Japan.  That is where the Mystic
paint came from, Japan wanted it, and Ford used it later on the Mystic
Mustang and 94 Silver Frost.

that is also where the clear lenses came from for the later SE versions.
