Rear lights

13 Aug 2007, 9:41pm
A very quick question:

What light unit (if any) are people using in the lowest of the three outer ligth apertures? I've bought some lights, which are fine for the upper two apertures, but I'm struggling to find a smoked reverse and fog to go in the lower aperture.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

John.

Can you not make the hella ones you have fit? they are smoked or mine are anyway think you bought the same?

Hi guys.

I got the Hella ones for the top two with the reverser and fog in the middle two.

The holes for the lower two seem verry small. The only ones I can think that may fit and the classic looking ones for the older looking cars.

They can be made to fit, but I don't think it'll be very elegant. The 55mm lights with the rings are perfect for the upper two, and look damn smart, but I'm not convinced the lowest will look very good with the hella 55mm unit in it.

p.s. John - your PM box is full.

Cheers John for the heads up re PM box full. Had a good clear out.

Oh yeah your right! not bothered with mine as not done anything since clutch will start again in oct hopefully......

It would cost you a little more (only about £40) but something I might be doing is using the bottom recesses for reflector and bying the hella ring which is tail and brake light in one thus leaving 2 centres for fog/reverse lights

I thought the lowest were for reflectors, and were an SVA requirement? Or do the rear lights reflect sufficiently?

I got some reflectors anyway!
