Does anyone have a source for European OEM parts? I'd like to upgrade my headlamps and tail-lamps to the European equivalents.

Bluesman,

Copying your post over to the Parts Needed / Available, thread. Hopefully you will get more answers there. Know we have a forum member that lives in Malta and has provided online brochures and parts info to the membership, previously.

Hi Bluesman, i will search for an adress i had of a ford transit centre in uk, as i live in malta europe our only ford dealer doesn't have lots of parts in stock but the transit centre should be able to help you. Out of curiosity, why would you want to change the rear taillamps? Yours are exactly the same as the european version if i'm not mistaken.

Here is the Ford dealer that has a transit centre:

Try send them an email and ask them for the parts you need

The European tail lamps are amber, as opposed to red for the US versions. Studies suggest that amber is more visible and safer: http://acarplace.com/cars/turn-signals/

Email sent. We'll see what they say.

Is amber tail lights legal in the US? I would not want to get stopped and ticketed for switching from red, if not.

Yes. US regulations permit red or amber turn signals.
