Hello Penguin,

I’m not sure if Banks sell the side marker lights?
If not, try the ‘Would like to Buy’ area on here, worth a go?

Hi,

Holden.co.uk sell the red side markers. L841 £44.50 each. I'm not sure you just replace the red lenses with amber ones.  It looks possible.

The side marker lights were also used on MGBs and Midgets.  Check the usual British parts suppliers.  Why not just remove them?  Now's the time if you are doing the body.

John,
I don't think they're the same as the MGB, the B had a "pointed" lamp.  Midgets definitely used them, and I seem to recall some of the mid 70's Mini's had them too.

I believe the lights are Triumph Spitfire.  You can try Moss Motors, The Roadster Factor, SpitBits or any of the other British car suppliers.

RD has the black plastic insterts that the lights fit into.  https://www.rdent.com/
