Yep, ED's were first to get twinlight. The EB should have "Falcon S" in the garnish as a badge, and then a little "XR8" sticker underneath that...

The EBs were also called "S-XR8".

Go the amber indicators!

Yea thats true. Also somehow the ED XR's got the 'slang' name S-XR's as well - however they were only called XR's.
