Euro Tail lights

Looking around at posts I have noticed people mentioning "Euro" Camaro tail lights. Does anyone have a pic of these? Are they cool looking? I am really interested in at least seeing what they look like.

I'm not sure if you guys are thinking the same thing I am, but I've got a pic of an exported European Camaro. The taillights are identical, except the amber and brake lens are interchanged. I believe European cars must have the rear turn signals mounted on the outer edge of the car by law.

Damn you guys... Turn on flame mode (j/k)! Dude, how can you be serious? You like them? I didnt think about it until right now. Euro tail lights are those ***** lights that are clear but have red circles to where they are not illegal like the solid clears are. Chevy and Pontiac are not Honda and Acura! http://www.iquebec.com/Hondafan/civic96al.jpg Notice the H on the back of the car.

Hell no that is not what I am talking about, I noticed a few posts where people metioned that european laws were different, (as willie pointed out) so the tails lights had to be made differently, and I was just wondering what they looked like. These were the reccent fad, but came from the factory on thrid gen. (See the pic)

Oh yea I remember that. It was the car that was in Woodstock. I liked it but its totally illegal from what this cop down the road said. Your back up lights (ones that come on when you put it in R) have to be white or clear. So what would be even kooler and more legal is have the orange part on the REAL camaro's tail lights painted red and leave the back up lights clear. Im gonna do this. itll be sweet I think.
