[urq] Replacing rear lights with darkened units

[colin cohen]

Actually they had to be removed when the car was cert. for the Feds back in 
1986.  The untinted Urq lights were fitted and I have left it that way.  Its 
time to put it right.  The center bar was left on (tinted) so that's not a 
problem.
