Rear Lights...

[matt-man]

Has anyone ever seen different rear lights on a wedge??

I dont want to change away from the fuego lights but wondered if anyone had ever seen clear topped ones?? I.E the orange part is clear to match reverse??

Dont want to smoke them as i dont like the finish....

thonly ones I've sen different are the ones on the badboys silver jobbie at BBWF. Can't remember what thet were from, but probably had glass work to get to fit

[blaineuk]

think they are fiesta lights.they would need body work mods to fit though,

Din't early wedges have Ford lights? And possibly SDi clusters?

getting Fuego lights really is damn tricky. I heard that Thorpy had a few pairs tucked away - but that might be a rumour: on a par with the notion that the Stig is not machine-washable...

You occasionally see a knackered pair on the bay. RPI had a car converted to use 306 clusters or summat similar. Just doesnt look original though...

I wonder if individual round light units could be glassed in to look sensible - would probably still look too modern though.

Hey All,

From memory, the bad boy car has got BMW 3 series coupe lights (or at least thats what i thought they were in a photo of the car) as i havent seen in real life. Heard this was coming to BBWF 2008? Hope so, i'm really interested to see her!!

i dont eant to go 'modifying' and change bodywork to fit some other lights as IMHO they never look 'right' even if they can look 'good'...

Shame they are so hard to get hold of but at least i dont hear people say 'oh they are upside down Chavalier or fiesta lights..' and i get to say 'well renault fuego???no? never heard of that? OK, TVR Special!!

I remember seeing Renault Fuegos all the time...and thinking, ahhh Tiv lights..pillage..pillage....pillage.

Not sure on the whole 'clear indicator' look. I seem to remember mentioning something similar too this about 4 years ago and got :cough:chav:cough: comments.

Still, where would we be if we all conformed eh. Driving Vectras and sporting flat caps.



(apologies to all Vectra drivers)
(apologies to all flat cap wearers)

I think the Mazzera thin angles lights whould look good.

Also I have a spare set of rear lights.

Still hoarding Leigh.

I have one spare (has a crack though).

Did you try the box out? To loud or..?

Well as you may have seen in the engine thread, the engine is not quite ready for a sound check.

Point taken - best crack on man, time is a ticking.

The rear lights are regulary available on french ebay.

Different lights on the "Badboy" wedge.

If I remember correctly, they were BWM lights.

Car now owned by a guy called Henry Harris. If you give him a shout through the TVRCC or PH forums, I'm sure he'll be able to advise.

They look like Mk4 Cortina lights. By the way, I was looking at the Mk1 Merc C Class light as an alternative or the SL versions...
