I find those VW light units have a serious drawback. Maybe it's just me but when the headlights are lit I find the indicators very hard to see and distinguish...
I guess the maker knows most of those who drive German cars don't understand how to use indicators anyway so it's inconsequential if they are effectively invisible with the headlights on

Re: Lights! (Interesting and Awful please)
Not so much about the lights being anything interesting in themselves, but a "lights on" photo, in a scenic setting appropriately accessorised, creates an interesting "brochure shot".

Re: Lights! (Interesting and Awful please)
Well I did sit through the 20minute video talk through of the Princess on twin cam's youtube channel.
He particularly liked the lamps of the later version which he described as trapezoid.
I did always like the first incarnation of the princess in the Wolseley Trim, For a brief period in 1975 BL badged the wedge Morris, Austin and Wolseley, but within 6 months it became plain "Princess".
So here's the lights fest for the BL Wedge.

I've always liked the shape of the Princess and the lights enhance its looks
I particularly like the shaped headlights on the red car at the top

Re: Lights! (Interesting and Awful please)
I always thought the Wolseley version had nice wheels.....the FCF ain't got a thread for nice wheels, so more lights to look at as well!
