[Healeys] Rear reflectors on 1963 BJ MK II Twin Carb

[Oudesluys]

That is correct, not only for Germany, but also for most EU countries 
you have to have seperate blinkers from the running and rear lights, 
although the enforcement varies from country to country. In the NL the 
US red rear lights combined with blinkers are tolerated, I am not sure 
how the frontal situation is.
