hi, can anyone tell me if the rear tail lights need to be pointed in a perticular direction? as in most 7 type car the back of mine is at a sight angle. the lights i am fitting are these:

They are standard Land Rover Defender items that screw straight ot the bodywork.
Usually mounted with the screws horizontal as it looks neater.

Go to Paddockspares.com and you'll get them for about £3 each.

Indicator
Sidelight
Stop/tail

Thanks chap, i aready have the lights and yes i paid well over the top...lol

But what about the direction of the lights? is it ok for the lights to be fitted to the bodywork directly because that would make them point skywards

there is no limit to how they are fitted just to angles of visibility and minimum heights, how you fit them is up to you.

Fog light must be mounted vertical, cannot be at angle up or down.
