Elio Lighting (head, Tail, Brake, Signal, Fog, Auxiliary, Blinking,etc...)

[Rickb]

Paul Elio has stated that he intends to pursue the European market in time. Seems to me it would make best economic sense to think about the design requirements well in advance.

I'll be very interested to see what Halloween brings. I hope it's not a nightmare

As I recall your concern was headlight spacing. Can you license a Plymouth Prowler in the UK? It seems the headlights are spaced similar to the Elio's.

The Plymouth Prowler didn't have lights on its fenders.

I wondered what that was when I saw a red one in Roseburg last week. Z

Those headlights look closer together than on the Elio. :-) Z

I really don't know..and I wouldn't want one, either. It does look like it possibly doesn't comply in that form.

Strangely enough, since working carefully to get my own car through the SVA test for amateur built cars I often spotted mass produced cars that were made after that date that wouldn't have got through the same test.

Update: I've just checked the UK's used car website "Autotrader", There are two Prowlers for sale on there, both look like they have the USA style lighting. However, I also note that one is from 1999 and the other from 2000. Both pre-date the SVA regulations and may not have been required to go through that test procedure because it wasn't then in existence.

Here's a useful page, with links to relevant websites on vehicle testing and registration in UK.:

The Elio does not have a sidecar or other attachment so, there is no need for these extra lights.

That may not be a requirement for the Elio in those St

I'm hoping it turns out the Elio does in fact meet your SVA regs.

That makes at least two of us!

Do the cars used in NASCAR only have left side blinkers?
