Find me some new tail lights

[dalla]

I'am looking for some different tail lights for my Super Seven. I want some round ones and they cannot be too big. Ideally i want some clear ones with coloured LED's in them. If you know where i can get something like that, or have other suggestions please let me know.
Thanks.

Try Stafford Vehicle Components they have quite a good range and reasonable prices.
They will be at Stoneleigh if your going so you can look them over.

The back end of a bus? No, seriously. You'll find a lot of buses and coaches have similar light units - and they'll all be off the shelf items from the likes of Hella, so might be worth doing a Google search for their website.

Other than that, Car Builder Solutions have a fair choice (www.nfauto.co.uk) and as previously suggested, it'll be well worth your while visiting Stoneleigh next weekend.

Thanks a lot mate. I'd love to be visiting Stoneleigh, but i live in Denmark, and i'll be in Norway working for the next couple of months.

You know, you could've linked directly to the picture from my web site

Anyway, these are Hella units - they're actually reversing lights, so are only meant to have one bulb in them, but I had some others that had two bulbs in them, so I combined them - ISTR I also had to modify them, but I can't remember why now.

I've just had a look at the SVC web site, and they do have them - just not the pictures of them!

What you'll need are:

AS037 - Clear Reversing (for the lens)
AS117 - Stop/Tail and Reversing (for the bulb carrier).

I've just remembered why I modified them - and in fact I didn't modify them.

What I did was modify the earlier ones, because I didn't know that the AS117 existed, so I took AS067 and AS047 and combined them to make the AS117 - and then I just changed the lens later on (the earlier pictures on my web site were for these modified units). So in effect, I modified 3 units to make one.

Thanks a lot mate. I'll defenietly look into that. Do your lights have both side repeators, stop/tail and reverse lights in them?

BTW your car looks stunning.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any reversing light switch in the gearbox to wire up, so I didn't bother with the reversing lights (nor fog lights) - the car's 1972 (although converted in 1991), so it doesn't legally need these things. They've only got the stop/tail and indicators in them. It would take some serious modification to allow reversing lights as well (you could drill a hole and then bond the lamp from the reversing unit into place).

Sadly, it's not my car any more; I sold it last year as I'm working on my next project (http://aeon.tribbeck.com/). It's now owned by someone who works for Aston Martin, and it flew through the MOT a week ago.

I got mine from SVC for my Fury R1. How about twin matching lamps like this? These are LED lamps and bulbs and are a bit expensive though.

Not sure what those small wheels will do for acceleration....
