Rear lights
Benzine - 15/5/10 at 08:24 PM

I have all my front lights sorted as well as side indicators. I'm looking for suggestions for rear lights. I want something quite minimal/slim. I used to have those ring LED mix and match lights which I liked a lot but they were v expensive.

I like the look of these: Ebay link

But it looks like that price is for one, not a pair, so quite expensive. Anyone got any ideas and/or where to buy them? I'll need a fog light & numberplate light too.

I don't much like those ABS moulded light shrouds that hold 3 lights in a row btw, a but too chunky/sticky-outy

Mine are like these but clear. You can always get two per side (one red the other amber).

I saw one of the cars on the MK stand at Stoneleigh with these lights

It looked pretty minimal but not that cheap.

I'm looking for something to replace my landrover (small) rear lights but as they are recessed ("frenched in" they have to be pretty much the same diameter - unless I make the hole a lot bigger. But I haven't got much room until it would all merge into one big hole! A photo would help I know...

EDIT: Had a look at those eBay links and I like the style but they are all too big. From memory the landie lights are 70 to 80mm?

Apologies for the thread hi-jack!

Is that one light that does indicator, rear light and brake in one? If so how? (i.e. how can you have an indicator going whilst braking?)

edit: just zoomed in, looks like there's a ring of LEDs around the centre cluster, I guess they do one of the other functions

The Vindicators rear arch shape makes this easy, but the arches on most 7 style cars are curved all the way around so you'd probably have to exercise some GRP skills to get them to sit flat

Benzine, if you don't mind the trailer style lamps, then have a hunt through eBay e.g.
