Mike,
If you mean the rubber side lights that all roadsters used before YKC changed the design to torpedo pedestal lights then these were made by a comapny call Rubbolite. Look at http://www.truck-lite.eu.com/ and in the online catalogue goto front marker lights and chose "50 > "E" Approved Front Marker Lamp". Or go to your nearest trailor supply company.

Hi Mike,
What i did on my Car was to make 2 a Sainless steel rings that slides over the outside of he lights, so it matches the headlights and getting the lights away from the trailer image.

The lights that you are looking for are front marker lights from commercial semi-trailers and should be available from any commercial vehicle parts supplier

Hi and thanks , the lights are not HGV marker light . The lights are made by Lucas ( Lucas on lens ) the bulb holder is the same as fitted to military landrovers . Has a chrome bezel . all parts are OK apart from the rubber .

The nearest I can find are the early Morris Minor ones from Holden Vintage Parts , part no L489/52139, my concern is that the diameter at 60mm maay be bigger than your present ones AND the price

They look a bit like mine and they are number plate lamps(as used on some Triumphs and Ford escorts etc) with the hood cut off carefully.
