apparently they are early Opel manta lights.



But where do I get some from?



They are also a bit light like the lights on the Ferrari 308 and 325

Those lights are off a Manta "A" pre '75. you could try the OMOC classifieds, but I think they are pretty scarce.

might have trouble getting Manta A lights. but for something similar have a look for Trailer/Caravan lights.

I'm sure I've seen some posted on a site that is for custom, kit, and classic cars.

Not quite the same, but anything here useable?

There you go. read my other posts, I hope this is muppet free. They have a round trailer lamp about 2/3 of the way down the page.

ISTR that they look like bus tail lights, can't recall which one though.

yeah in fact I have their catalogue here but those lights are horrible (it says for a landrover)

I want to put 4 on the back (in pairs) and have the all lit up with the lights on, two get brighter with brakes and two with the fogs.

The one on the elise also have the reversing lights/indicators in the middle

thanks anyway,

Tim

Not really but I need reversing light and fog and indicators and those dont have any :-)

Tim

Ah, OK. I'm sure I've seen a three way, brake, indicator and tail. And a seperate round red and white.

Have the threeway to the outside, the plain red next, and then the reverse light, on each side. Or even just have one fog on the required side, and a single reverse light on the other?

some helpful person (not from this group i dont think) mailed me to say WIPAC

make the elise S2 rear lights

Tim

Looks like you can only get them from through the Lotus dealers from what I'm told.

any they want £60 + VAT each so that's £240 + VAT for four

Or to put it differently... .....about 15% of the value of a second hand Elise S2

Tim

Wow. You can get s2 elise's for £1600 now?

*scuttles off to autotrader* Damn, they must have sold out.... :-P
