    Could this be the reason for the switch then?

    Any proof/evidence for this theory?

    We're any other cars affected by this at the time? Mondial for example? Every single European car is going to have the indicators on the outside since it is law there that turn signals must be visible from the side. Therefore they would also fall foul of this in that time period. For example a 635 CSI from 1983 seen from the side.

    It would be nice if there was a real reason but I am skeptical about any reason for the lights being swapped other than error on reassembly.

    Other than the incorrect lights :), the OP's car looks great.

    There is another reference to this same issue. I am looking for that peace of legislature at least in Massachusetts. I will let you know as soon as I get my hands on it.

    Always a pleasure to see a well shot 308 video. And your car has superb colours, Brad. It's a keeper :)

    I'd have to see it in writing. I have never heard of a state imposing any rule of that nature.

    Hopefully you can but as far as the text you have highlighted, all US cars came with rear running lights from the factory so there was no reason to reverse the lights for this function on any US car, including the OP's. The text says "imported cars".

    Regards David
