Has anyone else noticed the distinct lack of indicator visability on the 380's?

Mainly from the rear and in particular the VRX model. Only a very thin sliver of light on the side!

i too have noticed this and thought exactly the same, you can barly see them from the rear at all, i dunno how they where passed like that

its only the vrx and gt that have this prob the other style is fine

Yeah I noticed this two. They should put LED lights in the back and not only would it look better, but it would also increase visibility as it would appear alot brighter and more noticable.

Yeah I've noticed this. LED's I say. But the TL front indicators are the same. They're pretty hard to see sometimes

I'd have to disagree with this (maybe because i'm biased)

They have a big flashing orange thing in the headlight cluster and another one on the front guard.

yeh and because there in the headlight cluster it makes them even harder to see at night, i think there better seperated like previous models

:stoopid: Exactly

Speaking again of the rear 380VRX/GT indicators. Looking at this picutre below, is that globe on the far left of the left taillight with the orange colour the indicator? If they could replace that single globe with a few LEDS (say 4 or 5) orange ones in that side bit it has, it could work well.

Because when you look at the right rear indicator it looks the spot where it would be. http://www.pickles.com.au/servlet/Auction/Item.jpg?id=502045508

And out of curiousity, what are those two white plastic things on the bit where the rear bumper would attach?

P.S. I feel srry for this car :cry: I would have bought it if I seen it before yesterday. It even had sunroof, leather and bluetooth. I'll ring them tomorrow morning to see how much it sold for.

Actually that is true - at night with the headlight on, it would be difficult to see the indicator.

yep thats the indicator, in the 2nd pic its noticeable that its to far on the end of the light, it really should sit where the reverse light is

im guessing its some type of foam support

yeh it was one of the first things i noticed about the TLs and wondered how that passed too, because i saw a car coming (i was turning) checked both sides noticed a car coming was about to go but then noticed something barly flashing threw the headlight glare, but you even see alot of other new cars that are like this now like the new camry

Yep, I posted about it on this page. :)
