I noticed that the standard rear lights of Chevrolet Omega are almost identical to Irmscher's.    Does anybody have a clue where we find them? I tried different country versions of ebay but no luck. The last set of Irmchers one's were sold 200 euro on ebay so maybe the Chevy one's come cheaper... |

From all the pictures that I found, Chevy's estate rear clusters looks the same with European version but in the site mentioned below, there are similar look rear clusters for the estate! I found this site http://atajos.abatata.com.br/omega+lanternaPrices start at 75 R$ (Brazilian Real) which is 28,5 GBP / 32,5 EURO Now all that's left, is to know if someone can ship them to our Continent...  |

UPS? Only downsides I can think of are import duties, which are plus VAT, and do they have E marks? They look like they might have a white reflector (as do the Irmscher ones), which technically, is also an MOT fail.........although you could use them for show use only.  They do look good - bit of a change from Irmscher! |

Mmmmm, food for thought. Our company has rigs over there, I wonder if I know anyone working over there who might be willing to bring maybe one or two back, well it would have to be two really. Give me a day or two to do some digging, after all if there's a way not to pay import tax and forego shipping charges then hey why the hell not!!!!

Well, the indicator bulb is clearly orange, so it should be orange, shouldn't it?  |

I contacted a Chevrolet dealer in my country and they said that they can't help me because Chevrolet Omega isn't imported to my country. A mate who works in an opel parts center told me "Well, only in Brazil!" Seems like internet is the only way... |

I'm still working on this, you never know, after this trip I might even get a rig working off Brazil, now wouldn't that be good.
