Griffith N/S smoked rear light.

[V8 GRF]

As per my post about my incident in the main forum I'm now looking for a smoked N/S (passenger side) rear light cluster. Any offers or pointers gratefully accepted.

Email through my profile.

Thanks

There's a pair on ebay (search for 'Cavalier GSI') but looks like they have been sprayed - or there are a couple of clear ones which you can spray yourself...

[FlipFlopGriff]

They are mk3 Cavalier so search on that too as well as GSI. They do come up on the bay occasionally. Maybe worth asking a dealer if you can still get them or searching Vaiuxhall spares suppliers.
You could always put a clear one on until you find a decent one as they are 20+ years old now.

Yes saw those they look bloody awful, I'd thought about getting some clear ones but self tinted ones never look as good.

I don't think the GSi ones are available from Vauxhall anymore. Don't really want to fit something and then take it off again as the car will have just been painted and I'm a bit anal about things looking mismatched but I'm keeoing an eye on ebay.

Dont forget you need an o/s Cavalier light as they are upside down on the Griff.

The lights aren't smoked on the first few pics, and there are 3 different registered cars in the pictures so check before you commit.

You could try the Opel parts suppliers in Germany:

Aware of them but they do know how to charge. Much better if we can get one off ebay or out of someone's stash.

Hi,
I have some smoked rear lights, from memory a couple of sets in good condition, will check in the garage next week if you still haven't found one.

I got a spare for mine by registering with the Mk3 Cavalier forum, helpful chaps also helped me identify what I needed: early Mk3 GSi, the lights are different on later Mk3 cars.

They seem nearly impossible to source as new though, I've not seen one on the bay recently.

Thanks for that.

FFG already sent me a link and I've seen your posts on there, just investigating other routes and will post there if I need to.

[FlipFlopGriff]

The later Mk3 lights are not flat and have raised bumps on them. You need G, H or J reg, possibly K but I think L & M reg cars will have the later lights.

Thanks for all the pointers but I think I'm sorted now thanks to Mark. Hopefully see some of you at Chatsworth (Assuming I can bag a lift off someone)
