Re: Lights! (Interesting and Awful please)
I do think lights become a bit more interesting at dusk
Very rare set of photos, can't recall too many night-time original images from the FCF faithful of cars in their fleet. Adds a touch of atmosphere to the ordinary, its what lights are for!

Re: Lights! (Interesting and Awful please)
I wonder which had the greatest usage over the years - the Lucas 700 series headlamp, Lucas dome indicators (L760 / L874) or Lucas stop/tail lamps (L760 / L874) ? A huge swathe of British cars and bikes used them 'back in the day'.
Sadly no longer a C5 owner

A night-time picture with these illuminated might be nice...Citroen going for the World's tallest rear light cluster.

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

Nice observation by hubnut in his video I posted here

Most modern headlights/engine bays make this simple task just a little more awkward

That's very tall, looks like a better effort than the Mk1 C4, I was quite disappointed when I had mine that the top piece had no bulbs at all!NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑10 Aug 2023, 14:21 A night-time picture with these illuminated might be nice...Citroen going for the World's tallest rear light cluster.

A couple of car park shots of the C8 lights so not in pure darkness.
I can assure you that at night it rivals the Blackpool illuminations.Ryan
