can any one supply the phone number of a breaker or supplier that has either chim tailamp lenses or post 98 light assemblys have spoke to doug valley and they want £30 each for lenses only! plus £12 postage seems a bit costly for a 2nd hand part(s) or anyone have a set(kicking about) they are willing to sell

I have just been on this hunt myself, looking for the white indicator lenses, unfortunately they are £25 a piece and no-one seems to be able to get them much cheaper. Occasionally you will get a set appear on ebay for £18 each.

I went down a different route and i have yet to see whether it will be successful! I can say for sure however that it will certainly be better than £250+ for a set of rear lights!!!

Are you taking about the perspex clear/smoked covers or the light clusters themselves?

Hi, I'm afraid you're going to stump up the cash, they're rare as rocking horse teeth, hence I don't have any one the back of the racer that has had a new rear end grafted on.

I have purchased a 4 pod lamp unit and some fiesta mk3 lights and i plan to combine the two - it may turn out very badly so i will hold off with the full explanation...i dont like the lexus style either.

Try one of the Ex military dealers for the clear lenses,they normally sell them for between £5-10 depending on condition.
