Rear lights and turn indicators

[jeans_old_man]

The Lucas spares list for my '35 Le Mans 4-seater lists the single stop/tail lamp as ST38A and this is clearly visible in my favourite advert of the time:

Replica lamps are available from several sources but the ones I obtained were of doubious quality and although they had three bulbs they were arranged as 1 x 5W as tail/numberplate and 2 x 10W as stop with no provision for a turn indicator.

I was able to buy red and amber coloured glass from a Landrover website and some replacement sockets from ebay. I needed to make a new dividing plate and use 'small globe' bulbs but I am pleased with the result.

I feel that this is about as close to original as current lighting legislation will allow.

They look really nice Brian. Where did you get the basic (and rather poor) bodies?

I cannot remember where I got them from. The issue I had as an electrical engineer was the flimsy support and the proximity of the 'live' terminals to the surrounding metalwork.

Not cheap, but Holden do these ready set-up for tail/brake/flasher:
