Rj52car Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Rear light link Has anyone fitted a rear light cluster like this instead of the standard caravan catastrophe ? I love every bit of the Classic that we're building except for the rear lights.

elie boone Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 The link does not work. I have just ordered chrome led rear lights for a Honda cruiser from flee bay, it's just a line of leds with tail,stop & indicator lights. however it's not road legal as it doen't has a reflector and since it's for a track car it doesn't really matter to me.

Drumster Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I think he means a pair of these. How much! I have to say I'm not a fan of these type of lights as there seems to be very little to distinguish between the brake lights and the indicator when both are on at the same time. Separate stop, tail and indicators have worked well enough for years.....perhaps I'm just a GOM 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Reeves Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Mmm, not sure they are right. I have just changes all of my lights for white lenses and silvered bulbs . On a dark blus car, nice change. Bits from Carl 7s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I have the SVC LED rear lights - super bright, and fit the 7 look well IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade_runner Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'd echo Aeroscreen comments, I struggle sometimes with tintops that have combined lights like that, when they are braking and indicating at the same time, it all blurrs into one. Its also worth thinking about if these light will provide sufficient load to get the Flasher unit to work correctly, as the old traditional design needs a load to flash at the correct speed, otherwise it flashes rapidly or stays on! not sure what flasher unit you have.

Ian B Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 there's an alternative with seperate Stop/indicators here if you're feeling flush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mirylees Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I fitted a set of Land Rover rear lamps - 2 x stop tails and an indicator each side. Luckily they pretty well covered the holes where the caravan light originally sat. Very pleased with the - in my opinion - better look. Another local owner has also used the LR lamps but using 1 x stop/tail, 1 x rear fog and the indicator (also now using LED bulbs in them)...

David aka Blue7 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Has anyone tried these CC rear light clusters with the clear lens and using the CC led bulbs? here They look better than the standard lights but I wonder if they are as bright when used with the led bulbs? I was also considering clear lens on the front indicator to replace the standard orange lens and using an orange led bulb. Any thoughts / experience, most appreciated.

michaeljclark Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I looked at some of the products from here but it would need some mods not least a mounting bracket for the stop/tail and indicator set to ensure that they met standards. I saw an article (that I think was posted by a Land Rover owning 7'er - thou I don't think it was CBB, where these were used to replace the std LR front indicators and I guessed that they may fit on a 7.

Martin J Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Many years ago Lotus produced a (very) limited run of sevens. Called the twin cam SS it had what i think is the neatest rear lights I've seen. Made by britax they were recessed into a niche in the rear wings. If they could do it nearly 40yrs ago, makes you wonder why we have to sprite caravan ones now britax rear lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadsport06 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Eugene, I have been thinking about these, the standard ones aren't good on a bright day. I assume these are the standard plug so just need drilling in place. Did you need a resistor in there to stop the flasher unit thinking a bulb was out?

Bricol Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Martin, you know that's the same caravan lamp, just frenched into the wing? No rubber plinth. Which is a tractor part too. And very expensive from tractor people. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
