"Decorative Lamps" . Were equipped with a wedge type, 5 watt Hella Cool Blue bulb.
Two issues;
No ADR existed for the function "DECORATIVE LAMP".
Under ADR we had an issue of "GROUPING".
The car basically had four front parkers (sidelights-position), this impacted the ability to legally install say front fog lamps, a driving lamp kit, even DRL's.
DOTARS Trade Compliance, on complaint from nagged Ministers, had Ford stop further installation.
Fords response was to modify the lamp by upping power to 21watts, and making it a cornering lamp function.
I expect in the design phase, someone intended to have complianced front fogs, but perhaps cost stopped that.
