1995 850S. Rear lights

Hi all,

I am looking to replace the rear light lenses on my 850 estate UK version, top and bottom lenses both sides.

I have found some good used ones online at a reasonable price. They are off a v70 but I am being told they will fit the 850 without any modification at all as the same lenses where used but the ones on the v70 were better quality and did not deteriorate as much.

Can any one confirm they will be a straight replacement please?

Many Thanks,

Andrew Jones

They bolt up the same but you will need to use amber bulbs on the turn signal positions since the lens is clear. The 850s had amber lenses for use with a clear bulb.

Buy some decent quality amber lights as well, I have had trouble with the amber color flaking off of the bulbs as the lamps age and then the turn signals look white when they are turned on.
