Does anyone know if they were bespoke or were they borrowed from someone else's parts bin? Is there any possibility of persuading someone to give me the dimensions of each one? I'm considering the idea of grafting a set to my Griff. I realize this isn't exactly a "Plug and Play" solution but I've never been a fan of Griff's upside down Ford lamps. I think the tail is flat enough on the Griff that the round lenses could be recessed in the same manner as the Tuscan. With the dimensions I could probably cobble together a photo-chop to see what it would look like, good or bad.

My Griff does sport a challenge-inspired bonnet though... smile

Thanks,

Ryan

The TC rear lights are a very common truck tail light. Try any commercial vehicle outlet. Cheap as chips. Also available in LED for more money...

Yep they are what we call 'hamburger' lamps in the trade. I sell them - see my e-bay shop stores http://stores.ebay.co.uk/comtruck in the lamps/lenses section. Always got them on the shelf too wink

Sorry, Podie smile

Thanks for the links, guys! I'm going to mock them up in photoshop first to see how they would look on a Griff. It's going to take a "little" bodywork if I take this route.
