Citroen XM Forum

Due to a runaway shopping trolley I need a Series 1 tailight assembly. The left side is damaged, but would prefer a matched pair if anyone has a set. I am in Australia, so these things are really hard to get hold of. Cheers.

The "Coloured" plastic strips are removable, so if these are not damaged on your car they can be swapped onto any rear lamp you can source...

Please see attached photo for additional information. As you can see at a pinch I can live with the minor damage, but it would be nice to have an undamaged lens.

Are these the same as series 2? If so I have one.

Yes. . They are all the same..

I do not think they are all the same.
The top lens is available in white or smoked.
I asked for the photo to be put up because of the postage cost to Aus if it is wrong.

To me, the early cars smoked panels started black but then faded to that brown pink colour. The later mk2 cars seem to have a much darker smoke finish, that doesn't seem to fade as much. Could be wrong there though!
Also the red parts can be different. I had a much darker early lens fitted at one point which was a complete contrast to the brighter lenses on the rest of the car. They must have tweaked them for mk1.5 versions. Very late Mk2 seem even brighter in my opinion.

IMHO, all the units start out the same, they just age differently. Darker lenses are mainly due to exhaust pollution.

I expect your probably right Will.
