After looking at the cheap plastic bulb housing and knowing one day it will go bad as others have found I ordered Lucas tail and front lights from AES. They are the original style lights used on the Cobra. They are all metal and not Chinese knock offs as found from Cobra Restorers. I ordered a set from them but to my surprise they are not Lucas parts. The studs holding the housing to the care are flush mounted. You can use the larger LED bulbs if you wish without modification as seen in an earlier post. If your going to use LED bulbs be sure to use a resistor in line with the flasher bulb (green wire) in order to flash the turn signals. Another way is to change the flasher to a LED flasher.
