anyone used fiat coupe rear lights

just recieved some fiat coupe rear lights, and was wondering if anyone has had any iva issues using them?

combined stop and tail in one cluster, indicator and reverse in another on one side and then the other has indicator and rear fog light.


i will have to add a reflective strip to the body but can anyone tell me if their are any issues with them please ?




if they are aloud, has anyone used them and can show me some mounting ideas?


cheers
chris

They look quite neat - just check chapter & verse in the IVA lighting section to be sure of their suitability.

Particularly the requirement for the F marking on the foglight now. I had bought a full set of WIPAC Land rover style lights and had to switch to a square foglight mounted vertically on an L shaped plate as mine had no marking. You may be ok but worth checking.

For the round lights I found some exhaust tube a suitable diameter and cut a wedge to angle the light to vertical. Painted black and a bit of U trim to protect the fibreglass.

Not a great photo but shows before switching to square fog light. (must be on offside btw)

If you've got narrow rear arches you could put them on the rear panel. IIRC the Fiat Coupe lights were set into little cup thingies which might even be angled to suit the back panel?

there should be nothing wrong, but do check they have the e marking and the f or b for the fog lamp.

I used the biger landrover wipac ones (from "bolt on bits" on ebay) with the surrounds, depending on the diameter these surrounds may fit? CBS now do a led fog lamp that fits these surrounds.

Some kind engineers at work shaped/angled them to aid the vertical requirement for the foglight

Just found a pic of the coupe lights on a Donk. I think it looks really good!
