Default Lucas Reproduction Light lenses - Clear

Where can you buy in Australia the CLEAR Lucas (type) reproduction lenses for the indicator and/or stop lamps? They are probably not ADR-compliant even with the coloured bulbs, but they do look good!

I have 4 for after rego to replace the amber indicators as I like the look of the clear. I sourced these on ebay some time ago. As far as Im aware you cant get the clear ones with an E mark. In fact the ones I have look like they come out of the same mold as the amber - and then they stamped out the E mark?

Cheers

Merv - just did a bit of a search and found these:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Lucas-Type-L6...3286.m20.l1116

it says they ARE E marked as well? I have bought from these guys (in the UK) before. $28 delivered for 2 is pretty good I reckon.

You are a good one! Yes I like the look. Geof has them on his up here. I guess I could stay with the red stop lights!

The 'site says that they are L691 lenses but says 77mm. Mine are 67mm. May be a typo so will check first.

Was just checking the Snakebite stuff and they seem even bigger - 80mms. Seems the Repros of the original Lucas are 77 and mine - LEP (E marked, via Harrisons) are 67-70mm!!! The plot thickens....

Default Lenses

Merv

Are yours the Land Rover lamps? I have these and sourced the clear lenses from a 4x4 shop in Rocklea, if I remember rightly. They are around 68mm diameter. I initially tried Land Rover spares and they wanted $60 for one. I paid much less than that for all six!!

Cheers

Geof

Yes, thanks Geof. If your are the same as mine, I think that they must be Land Rover as the 68mm seems just right. That 4 x4 place in Rocklea is the one on the side road off Fairfield Rd., right?

Merv, I got all mine from AES in the UK and I think they worked out to about $40 ea including the metal housing and harnesses. They have spare L691 clear lenses for about 7 quid!

Have a look here:

Thanks Sambo. They seem better value than some around the place. I have the full set and all fitted but wanted to change the lenses to clear on the indicators (with orange bulbs). Matching the size is a bit tricky as there at least 3 different diameters. I 'think' I have the Land Rover ones (67-68 mm.). I will come back to these guys if the local Land Rover spares place does not have what I need.

Thanks,

Merv

That's the one. They were cheap and they had the stock.

Merv, as they say, no pictures - didn't happen! Seriously, would be great to see how they look against that gunmetal duco.

It might not be gunmetal grey, but this is with clear lenses on the indicators and brake lights.

OK here goes - no orange bulbs yet. Was going to leave the stop lights in red.
