Rear lights

[matt-man]

Hi guys,

So...very annoying! Pulled the cover off to go for a drive at the weekend (first one this year and it was ACE!) But somehow over winter with the cover on the rear light cluster has got damaged

There were some brand new ones available a while back, anyone know if there are any around? Need a pair as the other had a small crack too.

Cheers!

Hi Matt...The only person i knew who had any was Mr T but not sure if he has any left...Or right for that matter...

Mark is correct - I think it was Mr Tank (Andy) that was advertising them on Pistonheads parts until recently. He may well have some "in stock". Douglas Valley breakers also have a number of Wedges being stripped so you may well get a light unit from them.

Cheers chaps.

I've sent a message so fingers crossed...mine are cracked so not the absolute end of the world but with how the rest of the car is, its a real shame

There were some still for sale from Argentina not long back on the bay. not cheap to bring back though.

Bought my last set of Renault Fuego rear lights for the 400SE from Andrew Page motor factors.

It was a while ago but they arrived the next day.

Would certainly be worth giving them a call...

If it's only cracking I'm sure the old ones can be saved with the correct solvent and some plastic welding.

Possibly but mine has developed a crack and i think its being in the cold..Mind you i should imagine that after nearly 30 years the plastic may have become like toffee...

Thanks Guys, will try factors tomorrow!

They are still OK, cracks are from being brittle. I'm just a fussy customer!

Gauche = left
Droit = right

There's one on the flea but it's cracked too.

Also droit = left and gauche = right ;^)

[adam quantrill]

There was a good one on the flea that didn't sell, I've asked the seller to re-list it.

Sorry, just seen this. Good find!! Just messaged them..my French isn't so good so reliant on Google!

Happy to pay that for shiny new lenses. Let's see what comes back...

Thanks!

Alternative lights.....always a good way to go. Pick the right car and you won't have a problem finding a replacement.

I would be very interested in how you get on as I contacted them via there website, admittedly in English and got no reply. Thought it may be prudent to get a couple of spare ones just in case.

Hi Guys, i had a response back from this company and confirmed that they have new original stock of these lights!

I have just placed an order for a pair and will let you guys know when they arrive.

180 Euro total with shipping, so about 140 quid

Given the rarity of them not too bad a price - at least they are still available.
