White Griffith turning signal light covers?
Discussion
Are you talking the ones at the front?.. or the ones on the side?.. If side.. they are Fiesta so any after market / flebay etc...
If front.. there are two types.. ones with internal reflectors and ones without (try get them 'with', they look better).. but both are used on Lightweight Land Rovers and MOD trailers if you don't want to pay the normal TVR asking price that is. I got mine from a local Landy place for £5 the pair.. the metal body was painted so not pretty when received but you only see the lense anyway.. so no problem... Not the best to fit though.. they go on from the inside of the wings.. and you need to get the old ones out without causing too much damage... Mine were well glassed in and could only be done as I had the headlight pod's out so take care....

The MOD had a sort of standard rubber light unit with interchangeable lenses of different colours. This allowed military workshops to hold one part that fitted nearly all military vehicles.
Whenever the MOD specified a vehicle they would prefer to have it with these types of lights if possible, although some vehicle designs weren’t compatible. Hence ex military Landrovers are the most common. I have never found a definitive list of all military vehicles fitted, but have seen them on all sorts of stuff, 1950’s onwards.

Thanks for the link...I've seen a round white lens for the front turn light that might fit but it doesnt show the diameter so I don't know if it'll fit on the griffith...any of you can help here? Maybe knowing this very same len or bought it...Thanks.
You're all on the right lines and cost should be no more than £35.
DON'T get conned as I was by a TVR dealer that tells you, you need Tuscan indicators at £175!!!
Still leaves a very bad taste and I will NEVER go there again, and some dealers wonder how they get a bad name. They are easy to change too with a bit of silcone.

I replaced mine a few months ago and it straight-forward but not easy. Watch out for scratched hands from the sharp edges inside the lower wings. The trickiest bit was manipulating a sharp implement to cut thru the thick wadges of existing sealant that hold the lenses (tightly) into the fibreglass of the lower wing. When I'd got most of it out I knocked the lenes out with a suitably sized 'drift' - IIRC I used a mug (the type you sup your coffee from) - this operation is not for the faint-hearted though!
The sidelights are the ones you want for the front. Part number FV817224. You'll be wise to get some silvervision bulbs too otherwise you'll get the fried egg effect - they are silver but flash orange.

Side repeaters are stock Ford and should be £10 a pair roughly.
