lighting components supplier?

Question

Hi all,I'm trying to track down some add-on lamps for a custom application -side/indicator units, ultrasmall square clear or red lamps etc.So far I've tried they haven't got *quite* what I'm after.Is there somebody out there who lists vehicle lamps as separate commodityitems, en masse? I'm sure such-and-such car would have standard lamps thatmight suit. Sadly most of the scrappies round my way don't have anythingolder than mid-1990s and everything has become so bloody specific sincethen.BTW it's for a de-bumpered Bertone X1/9. I'm trying to cover the hiddenold-style front side/indicator holes (originals are rocking-horse poo), andput something natty *in* the square chassis ends left from removing thebumpers - like driving lamps, rear fogs. They're around 38mm square...Thanks, Ken.

These days pretty all cars have individually designed lamp units.

True, but that doesn't stop the custom boys making replacements.Which could be a good place to start looking...

Have you tried the commercial vehicle suppliers like Lucas, Hella,Rubberlite etc? what about the LED lights used as marker lights on trailers.

You could try Premier Wiring Systems, or possibly Martini Spares (the Brummy who goes to all the shows and has shed loads of stuff).

Otherwise you need to get the catalogues from some of the manufacturers e.g. Hella, Lucas.
