Default Morgan type rear light pods

Hi all,
Does anybody know where I can source some Morgan type rear light pods from? My Burlington SS has the rear lights attached directly to the rear wing and they point up to the sky at 45 degree angle. I need some light pods to bring the lights on the horizontal plane.

Regards
mike

If these Royale Sabre light pods would do, you may be able to get some from ...

I thought about the Morris Minor lights but I think it's not in keeping with the car.
The Sabre things are, in principle, what I'm looking for. I could really do with them in fibreglass or plastice so I can colour code them to match the bodywork.
The search continues.
Thanks
Mike

Could you make some from pipe or tube?
Plastic or metal would be paintable.

I donot know if you are in a hurry, but at the moment I am making them for my Renault R4 based two seater cabrio project out of fiberglass/composiet, the moulds are almost ready. As the kit has a lot of english car influence especialy the Morgan, they will be having the same looks size etc and you can colour code them.So I will have them in composiet as well as in chrome metal and those will be made in Croatia
These type of rearlights to be color code?
