the Afterburrnes have 4 led rings and four pods that go in centre of each ring ...a Total of 8 lights

you need two of the inner pods for indicators
all 4 of the led rings will be rear tail lights
and the remaining two inners will be your brake lights

all above are a legal requirement, as is a rear forglight...so you will

A. fit an after market one
B. Buy/build and interface so that the tail lights will get brighter when you brake, thus you now have two of the inner pods free, one for foglight and one for a reverse light

The afterburners on sale now have the newer style led rings that are also the brake lights, so you dont need any interfaces and have two inner pods to use as you wish

Or rather 2 for fogs and 2 for reverse, but I get what your saying. Oh makes sense I think the newer ones are the ones I seen on video then. I would of thought they would be one complete set. I mean its ashame to make the car look so much different and better but having to add stupid big fog boxes like imports do etc.

Wasnt there a set with orange leds on the outside as well for the indicators, I swear I have seen them before. Also there is another set of afterburners, 3 hoops but small are they made for the calibra or another make just fitted nicely?

Btw, I love your car what are the little circles in the bumper ? (back)

Poor thing, to a good owner I hope.

The towbar, you might hate me for saying this but the numberplate doesnt look right maybe its under there?

just another note as to if you decide to put a temporary one on to get it through the mot then remove it you could fall foul of the law as fog lights fited to rear are a mot requirement so if you take it off in the eyes of the law your car is classed as unroadworthhy there fore they can put a prohibition notice on it and make you have it retested
