Rear lights?

I'm after a good individual light set for the rear of my MNR. I like the big round CF jobbies everyone is using but have spotted these on fleabay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kit-car-6-Rear-Lights-westfield-locost-caterham-fury-7_W0QQitemZ290104474923QQihZ019QQcategoryZ100921QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Has anyone used them and got any pics I can peruse?

They are the same ones that SVC sell - check their prices first

These Wipac lights are good, but only have the connectors that stick out backwards towards the wheel – the parallel connectors rather than the right angled connectors as can be seen on the JK Crystalights.
We are starting to get phone calls for the right angled connectors when the rear of the light is too close to, or is touching the rear wheel. Unfortunately these do not fit the lights that are designed for the "parallel" connectors.
So check how much space you have between the inside of the wheel arch and the wheel before buying the Wipac lights, AND….. SVA generally fail rear lights that have the light face not completely vertical, so the plinth may not be ok on a "7" cars.
Look at the lens - this will generally have a circle with a cross moulded in the central part. This "aiming line" must be completely horizontal with the light source - the bulb filament.
This is why Caterham use the "wedge backed" lights, Westfield have an angled back moulding & sVc (with ESP) tooled up for the 2 different styles of angled back mouldings.

sVc both supply lights to Wipac, and buy lights from them – we were offered these lights about 9 months ago by them, but decided that they were not best suited to the Kit Car market.


Hope this is some help
