rockinroyston Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Has anyone fitted these before & got them IVA approved? or would it be best to use the standard Caterham ones & then change at a later date?Bolt on bits ltdhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Rear-Lights-CARBON-Pods-Kit-Car-Caterham-Westfield/231226005167?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38661%26meid%3D3af70c321f3443a1b38b77d5c04f39ad%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D390793470890They seem to be angled etcNot keen on the standard rear lights.. look a bit 'agricultural' (personal opinion!).Are there any other rear end LED options out there? (UK based ideally).Other issue could be with the flasher relay if its LED at the back & normal at the front... questions questions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ. Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The units don't have reflectors, so you'd have to fit them some where else. As suggested, I would get it through the IVA as standard first, and then swap them. Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinroyston Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Thanks all, this makes perfect sense, I'll postpone departing from the spec for the time being! And good point re reflectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 These are E marked led rear lights, if you want a neat installation you will have to cut a big hole in the rear wing to get them vertical. http://www.bowerspartsonline.co.uk/brands/sim/sim-3159-12v24v-universal-clear-lens-led-rear-combination-tail-lamplight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockinroyston Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks for all the pointers! I think I will temporarily shelve my customisation plans until I have a pile of bits in front of me (& its passed its IVA..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
