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.
