Plate FIK496 returns: 1991 (Edit: I just re-checked the registration in 2019, and it now says that it's a 1990, still registered). VIN: 6FPAAAAH4KLR45121 These are very rare in Australia - in 1991, it's last full year on sale, only 595 F-150s were sold in Australia. The following year in 1992, Ford continued to sell the F-150 until supplies of the pre-facelift model dried up. 328 were sold in 1992. This vehicle appeared in the show between 2008-2013 (seasons 24-29). Episode 29.039, and season 29: Note: same exact vehicle appears in an episode of The Saddle Club: /vehicle_776160-Ford-F-150-1991.html -- Last edit: 2019-12-12 08:10:59 |

Made for Australia due to amber indicators in replaced of back-up lights. |

Hmm, so where are the reverse lights? -- Last edit: 2014-09-26 17:11:47 |

Deleted. Often done here as well. To my knowledge this was done by the local seller/import agency. |

It is my understanding that the Australian vehicles uses amber indicators as a backup lights as well when they throw in reverse |

Not at all - always white! Anyway, you can't 'delete' a reverse light legally here in Australia. Ford would not have been able to sell the F-Series here without a reverse light (only 1 is required by law, although most vehicles have 2). -- Last edit: 2013-12-01 20:30:15 |

Davez621, rjluna2:: Seems like the common Astralian rules (ADR) from 07/89 were postponed for certain vehicle groups, such as the Northern Territory yellow indicators/reversing lamps were actually allowed http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nt/consol_reg/avsr324/s100.html Could this be one such specimen? |

Interesting. I've never seen a yellow reverse light, ever, here in Australia... |

Here is Ford Fairmont [XB] have their reverse lighted up at /vehicle_84411-Ford-Falcon-XB-1974.html if this I was thinking about |

I meant I've never seen it in person. Funny thing is, when I was little I asked my grandmother what the white light at the back of her car was for, and she had no idea (she was quite smart, too). This was back in the 80s. Now that I think about it, maybe it made sense that she didn't know what it was. -- Last edit: 2013-12-02 08:39:19 |

Some time ago it seems that in France backup lights were amber too. But when they are off, white or amber light can appear as red. For example on the Peugeot 106, the lights appear all-red: http://antp.be/pic/106_20010814_r.jpg but there are orange blinkers and the white backup light. |

In our country, before 1967 we did not have backup lights. Some vehicle did have backup lights and some of them were sold as an optional backup lights as well. Here is more information on Australia and New Zealand about amber backup lights: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_lighting#Reversing_lamps One thing I should've said that in lieu of white backup lights, they used amber backup lights/turn signal combination because rear red turn signal are not allowed. -- Last edit: 2013-12-03 02:20:56 |

Note that Washington still allows amber backup light.... Btw, the reason for the French yellow backup lights was, I guess, that lights at the rear should not be white. The lamps were in seperate lenses, though, which in other countries were white. Even lights in the front should not be white.... -- Last edit: 2013-12-03 03:04:05 |

By that VIN this is a 1989 MY. Edit: on a hunch used my normal site and I manually decoded the VIN. Truly a 1989. -- Last edit: 2020-06-24 01:43:52 |
