Mine actually has both. White in the main section, with red outliers.

Ruins the original design IMO.. Often find it ironic that the US in particular insisted on all these regulations for vehicles yet you can ride a motorbike with no protective gear!

Really? Two reflectors? Seems fairly discreet to me.

My 92 has one red, one white. I assume that's not original!

No, sorry I was referring to the bumper situation, just my brain and my hands handed quite connected ;-)

But do they reflect as white (which would be so wrong, as white is for the front...) or do they reflect as red ? It seems that the car had to have the other 2 to pass regs. there.

Good question. I'll check tonight.
At any rate, they would definitely be the "white" ones mentioned in the Hemmings article I posted on the Big Bumper thread.

Sorry for the delay. I have checked just now, and my white rear reflectors are very definitely white. Not sure why they're white, really.
