It's not them. Greg's have covering over the lights themselves. Same as Adrian's and Twerlie's I believe.

Those are mine, they are called afterburners and cost about £600 fitted from one or 2 places. If you can get booked in at the factory, I think they do it now. Otherwise, Gary at Crazyhorsesracing.co.uk will do it for you.


Alternatively (and this is what I should have done)

You take them out, (or better, buy another set for about 50p off of ebay) and post them to a proffesional rear lens tinting co, who will spray them a few shaded darker and put super bright LED bulbs in.

Would cost you about £50 per side and it actually look great. I tried it myself with a Halfords spray tint kit and royaly cocked it up, but from a distance, the effect looked great.

I think those lights look the dogs danglys,hence im awaiting Marcos to phone me when new batch arrives.The noblemods ones look great too but the dark glass panel gives the afterburner lights the edge.Thats just my opinion though.Away oot for a few beers now.

I did find a pro company who do it once, you post them off and they do it properly. Sorry I can't remember now.

Try googling or asking in yr local independant motor shop.

Doesnt the clam need to be cut slightly to allow the afterburner lights to be fitted?

Yes AFAIR, also they don't include reversing lights - or do they?

think a reverse light is moved to behind the rear mesh

If you look at the last pic the reverse light is integral. The ones from Noblemods require the fog and reverse light fixed either side of the intercooler box.

Do you happen to know the p/n for the original rear lights?? I have a slight water ingress problem. So if new rear lights are as cheap as you say they are.. then that could be the answer to my problems

Hey guys, I love the Noble and when I can afford it I think it is the next step from the Elise!!!
BUt those rear lights, cant say I love the aftermarket ones i have seen, HOWEVER, saw a pic of some quite good looking ones (IMHO) they seem to be M400 USA models
Have a look at the black one on here, www.1gracing.com/gallery.html think they look pretty standard but unique...
