Do you need whole lamp with "fake carbon" pod/mount ?
I found that in Poland I can get similar LED lamps (without pods) for below £50/pair... (for £50 with p&p to UK)

They also produce reverse and fog lights with same height:




Fog lamp is white when OFF (just like reverse).
All lamps are "E" marked. I have to check if fog lamp is "F", but as it is Polish product (not "made in PRC") it should be OK.
My friend used them in his trailer... I will ask him to take photo...

And "hamburger" style LED lights:

I've found I can get the exact lights from trailer suppliers for £25 each or £50 per pair, but they dont come with the mount, which I have to say I like the look of, but I am still undecided if they are worth £25 each....I may see how much I can get them rapid prototyped for.

I am suprised that the bodywork guys have not put the feature/platform for the rear lights into the rear wing molds as thats where the lights will always be. That would save a load of grief with no extra costs.
