It does seem strange to have a park light the same colour as the indicators!

Perhaps the D1 it is legal on because they have a white coloured park light in the main headlight housing as well as the amber park light?

D1s did not have orange park lights.

Sorry, meant D2 in the above post.

As far as I am aware they are ADR approved because they were factory fitted. I assume the amber would be classed as a "Clearance light" The "parking light" is contained with in the Headlight. A park light must display a white light, whereas a clearance light may display a white of amber light. AUSTRALIAN VEHICLE STANDARDS RULES - REG 84 Parking lights AUSTRALIAN VEHICLE STANDARDS RULES - REG 91 Front clearance lights

Mine work , and yes I have always referred to them as "marker" (or clearance) lights like trucks have - the "park lights" are in the headlight housing.
