Not sure.  I believe Lee (the PO of the car) purchased the lights as
part of a GP, so chances are they are sedan lights.  Does anyone know if
the wagon lights are different?

I solved the problem with a little dremel action on the middle section
of the tail lights.  Hardly noticeable unless you are looking for it and
it allows the handle to clear.

There was a gentleman that I spoke with at the drag strip on Friday who
owned a canadian spec  S6.  It seems most of those had the amber corners
you speak of.  Pretty cool looking IMO.
