Fog and reverse lights

They look the same but are they? Paddocks want £4.80 for a fog light but Caterham want £17.20 and Westfield £12.something.

we're talking about rectangular defender lights here?
I have them on mine - you need to do something to ensure the red lens is vertical.

I have the lamps inc reflectors excpet for the lenses (you can buy them from paddocks) for sale - malke me offer inc. postage I cannot refuse and they are yours.

(thinking about it I should have a spare set of shells too....)

Yeah well that’s mark up for you, it's a genuine Caterham light...just not actually made by Caterham but no doubt comes in a cool branded box

Hi have the paddocks ones, I would'nt say they are high quality, but they look very similar to the Westfield ones... I will put some silicone grease on the contacts as this look like they might cause trouble in the future with corrosion. But on the whole they will do and look ok... You will need to fit rubber U trim on the back for SVA....
