Bizarrely, despite the red lens the orange led showed through orange so passed MOT
Scott thanks as I may just do that. Will look at cheapest source of the Lucas rectangular lights and see what I can do with them. Need to double check the removal of the round lights doesn’t give me a problem with screw holes etc before I proceed too.

Thanks again

Dave
