looking for some rear lights for my kit car. want to get hold of some of
these:
http://www.vincenthurricane.co.uk/Ga...rs/SHR928J.htm

apparently they are early Opel manta lights.

But where do I get some from?

They are also a bit light like the lights on the Ferrari 308 and 325

Tim

Those lights are off a Manta "A" pre '75.
you could try the OMOC classifieds, but I think they are pretty scarce.

might have trouble getting Manta A lights.
but for something similar have a look for Trailer/Caravan lights.

I'm sure I've seen some posted on a site that is for custom, kit, and
classic cars.

Not quite the same, but anything here useable?

yeah in fact I have their catalogue here but those lights are horrible (it
says for a landrover)

I want to put 4 on the back (in pairs) and have the all lit up with the
lights on, two get brighter with brakes and two with the fogs.

The one on the elise also have the reversing lights/indicators in the middle

thanks anyway,

Tim

Not really but I need reversing light and fog and indicators and those dont
have any :-)

Ah, OK. I'm sure I've seen a three way, brake, indicator and tail. And a
seperate round red and white.

Have the threeway to the outside, the plain red next, and then the
reverse light, on each side. Or even just have one fog on the required
side, and a single reverse light on the other?

Looks like you can only get them from through the Lotus dealers from what
I'm told.

any they want £60 + VAT each so that's £240 + VAT for four

Or to put it differently... .....about 15% of the value of a second hand
