Default Rear number plate lights

The imitation chrome is already comming off my cheap plastic rear number plate lamps.

I fancy some 'real' ones but there a bit pricey.

SVC have some replicas at £16+£4 P&P.

Anybody found any cheaper sources?

I have the SVC ones. I have to say that they aren't great (cheap construction inside and plastic lens) although they look OK and light up the number plate.

You could try the CBS LED ones

They don't look out of place, they're solid ali construction and light the plate up OK. You can also space them far enough appart to allow a standard plate in without fiddling around with it:





Failing that, Europa do some metal lights:

But I have a funny feeling that they're just reselling the SVC ones...

Or you could go for the LED lights/bolts I've used.
Got them from CBS http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/number-pl...npbl-737-p.asp

Thanks, eveyone for all your quick feedback and suggestions.
I personally prefer the look of the Lucas style so now I have to decide whether to fork out for the real McCoys or the cheaper copies?
