Re: WHY? Well here's my first question.Why did Citroen remove the 'tell tale' from the top of the headlamp shells? Was it because of cost-cutting or because of a new law? It may be something else completely. If you know, then please enlighten me

heres my why, Why's it called a "tell tale"? Because you can tell if the lights are on when you're in the car. (although it's always mystified me, surely the whole 'being able to see where you're going' thing would tell you that?

Or, as seems to get ever more common, the amount of idiots you see driving about with no lights on at all when the weather's dire/it'sdusk. Their cars are almost always in the hardest-to-see colours as well.

Re: WHY? paint your car bright orange, then you don't need to have lights on  I've been quite surprised how much the car sticks out in the office car park at dusk.
