Front side/indicator lights
I have Lucas ones fitted to one, but the lenses are not in great shape, nor are the rear sections. Is it a straight swap to replace these with the Cobo units? Do the Lucas ones have any advantages over the Cobo units to justify the considerable price difference for new ones?

Re: Front side/indicator lights
The COBOS are fine. You wont notice a difference. I believe fordson tractor light was the source. Search tractor spares to find them cheap. If the backs are still intact you could just get a new lens and do the LED lamp insert I have done
edit massey ferguson seems better choice

Re: Front side/indicator lights
As stated above. I used Malpas tractors at a fiver each:-

Bit of a faff to fit to Lucas casing but doable with shorter screws.
Believe they do the whole lamp at 18 quid a pop.

Re: Front side/indicator lights
Thanks. Didn’t know it was possible to fit the Cobo lens to the Lucas back.

Re: Front side/indicator lights
And, if you want that look, you can remove the orange lacquer from the lens and end up with a clear lens (I don't think you can with Lucas , as I think it's orange plastic rather than a coating). On a red car I think I'd leave it orange, but on silver etc it can look nicer.
