Tail lights

[ben]

john and shane,

my beddy has that config, indicator uses the brighter of the 2 and the other is for revesing lights.. works well except i cant find the revese switch on my 4speed aussie manual, so i have not done anything with it yet.

I am doing the same as the grey van but mounting them lower because i have a gullwing door and dont have the hinges in the way and using one brake/tail and indicator. I was going to use the indicator as reverse light but might have to check out the ford number plate holder.

that sucks....photo too large, how can I shrink or reduce file size?

I've just found some more lights that might be better. Available in 100 and 140mm diameter with stainless bezels

Hey Craig, I realise this is quite an old thread but I've been trawling through looking for pics of tail lights and the grey van really struck me.  Do you know who's van that is (the grey LWB photo file name 'jill's bedford') with the recessed round stop/tail and indicator lights?  I've been really struggling to figure out what size the lights are and what make.  Hella do an 83mm diameter round like those but that seems too small and they don't seem to come with a rubber bung and are very very expensive.  The only other similar lights I could find were all over 100mm which equates to at least 140mm diameter with bung and that is too big to fit comfortably in the flat area where the old lamp used to sit.  Any idea what they used and how they did it?  Any help would be much appreciated mate, cheers.

Cheers Ben, who's Olly?

I've measured out the 140mm diameter lights to try to fit them into the flat area the old lights are mounted in and there's not enough room.  2x100mm circles would fit just nicely, perhaps an 83mm lamp with rubber bung would be approx that size but the Hella lamps are $330 per pair!!  That's $700 just for lamps!  Considering you can pick up the 140mm (including bung) varieties for about $60 each it's a crazy price difference.

169 mm wide, but I thought I saw a smaller version on ebay somewhere
