@rljuna2: in the actual issue of the http://www.oldtimer-markt.de/#7007630 there is an article about all the things, you have to change, when you want to get a registration for imported classic cars. The most rules are about lamps, indicators, side markers etc.

For example:

- orange US-side markers are allowed, red ones are strictly forbidden.

- cars older than the 1.1.1970 can have red back indicators, newer ones not. Only when you have advices, that there was never an orange indicator, you can ask for a special permission (it depends on every local authority, if you can get it or not).

- yellow French lights are forbidden. For yellow flash lamps "Fernlicht" you can ask for a special permission (for extra costs)

- white Italian front indicators are definetely forbidden. Glass or bulb have to be orange. If the an orange bulb is too weak, it's illegal, too.

- sealed beam-lamps are totally forbidden

- every car of every age, even pre-war ones, has to have hazard-lamps

- it's forbidden to have one single lamp/bulb for indicator, brake- and back lamp.

In other words, can't use the red ones at the rear ones, replace with orange lens instead?

I found one with orange sidemarker that was used in Australia as shown at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ford_F-100_Custom_01.jpg .

You tell me, ingo. I don't really know about the grey market on modern USA vehicles and how it needs to be converted to meet TÜV inspection as you mentioned.
