Can anyone tell me where to buy the rear light cluster that Spud has on his roadster?

These are the ones I'm after:

I've had a look in all of the usual places but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Thanks

£100?! Shocking how much a pair of lights costs these days...I think I'll end up buying them shortly tho, I'm not a massive fan of the all round lights.

Yea Bit much, bit of looking around may find them elsewhere.

They are LED ones though.

What about the Westfield/Caterham/GBS type lights? They're about £50 a pair and look similar.

Single hamburger style lights look ok sunk in to the rear panel,if you can find some pics of the Teamtrain car I built they are on the rear.

Same thing as on the back of artic trailers.

i think all the led rear lights are realy expensive tbh i have got a few bits from svc and if you are buying a load of stuff and ask nicely thay usualy give a bit of discount :)
i liked thease lights but i dislike anything with the tacky fake carbon effect and could not get any plain when i looked :(

Yeah I've never been a fan of the fake carbon look, unless is 3M dinoc stuff, which if I buy these I may wrap them or just spray them so they look normal as the fake carbon looks terrible.

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 did have an idea of making some of my own by making small molds and making some in grp.

but with the new baby time is at a preimum so i just got 95mm cristalbright's and some cheap black mounts

i could always bung some led's in at a later date

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.
