Default Angled Rear Lights - Money Saving Tip

I bought a set of NAS landrover lights for the back of my roadster like these -


Now when it comes to the fog light this needs to be angled, and you can buy angled housings for about £13 but being tight I had a nosy through the screwfix catalogue and found this -

The mounting pods fit perfectly inside the tube and you can easily cut them with a mitre saw (11 degrees). Pack the pod out with some spacers so it is vertical, then slide the cut piece of tube over the pod. GLue in place then smooth the edge over with some body filler and job should be a good one and nice and cheap. I've cut my tubes but not yet fitted them as I'm waiting to get the car on the floor - test fitting they look like this (you will have to turn your head 90 degrees for the first pic as I can't seem to rotate it!) the grren line is my plumb line -
