I have just bought a set of all yellow fender side indicators for my squareback. What do the different colors mean?

Yellow was for the Italian market, and they were actually set up to work as signals, if I recall correctly. The red and white ones were DIN parking lights.

And the all white/clear are actually faded red and white lenses.  Well at least mine were.

I have all orange on my '63 Notch. (Not original, as they originally were red/clear) I think these were common in the UK. But, I'm not sure...

My 63 square does not have them, is there a market that has them on a 63 year model? or is you notch a 64 year model?

My friend had all red on his squareback. I guess they are pretty rare? We could not find what part of the world they were offerd. He did find his squarback in Fresno Ca.

If your Square was built for a market that didn't require them, they would not be there.
My Notch is a '63.
