Having made a fundamental change to the back of my design I am now searching for nice round tail lights that look KINDA like the Red Ferrari ones in this photo. I show this because it's the closest thing I have found...


I am not trying to copy a Ferrari, but my design now requires 10cm +/- round red lights with ali bases. Like this:


Any help finding an INEXPENSIVE source for this type of light would be greatly appreciated.

The look a bit like the ones my Dads ford 9000's used to have on the back- some campers had similar I think as well.
High $ ones from corvettes?

or these.

Stafford Vehicle Components is now selling through CMC in the US. Sort of enticing after looking at the bleak line-up available here.

Although this 4-1/4" LED from Petersen Mfg. isn't bad (flush mount though) and probably CHEAP:

Dont laugh but next time your behind a tractor trailer rig check out the tail lights....they look like the LED jobs above....

Before I started designing around the Jeep Libery lights I had been staring at tail lights for over 2 years and I had some LED 4" rounds selected with a nice pattern to the LED's...

I was hoping to find a complete light/base/bezel with translucent extruded sides, but barring that I can always recess mount the LED Style Light inside a spun aluminium tube and cut it to the length I desire. Making a 'Canon' mounting.

Pete, Thanks, your source has great prices and some of their lights even have a nice polished steel bezel option.


or chromed plastic...



Now I need to design a canon style aluminium tube to hold these... Working on it tonite.

Any online sources for large diameter ali tube?

Steve,

I'm going to use these




from Hella. I note that there is a NA Hella website at http://www.hellausa.com although I haven't had time to search for those lamps there.

I haven't bought mine yet (bodywork issues seem far, far, away ) but I don't expect them to be more tha $15-$20 each.

Like the new rear end styling BTW,

Dominic

PS. and don't complain about being old at 38. I always said I wanted my car on the road before I was forty - I've got until Monday Hmmm, maybe 41

Hey, Steve, you're right; they have a bunch of lights. I had found the mfr. first, then the dealer, but didn't look around.

I kinda like these slightly more subdued ones, only I'd put them in straight :



Spun tubes will look great.

How much for the Ferrari lights? I'm afraid to ask, knowing that they're made by elves that crap gold bars

I .like the light you show above. I am going to get those. The only problem now is that I don't have complete dimensions for the grommet and the ring. I need to know that before I can source the spun tubes, but I need to know if I can get the right tubes before I spend the money on the lights
