Has anyone used these? how are they in the flesh so to speak and has anyone thought of a good neat way of mounting them on the rear wings so that they are upright?

not sure if these have been listed incorrectly, or what, but seem cheap enough. they look like tail light indicator and reverse, but they say amber and red marker lights. they're buy it now £9.99 (each) if they are indicator, tail brake and reverse, i think these look better

The first ones look OK as alternatives to the old-style trailer lights, but so they come with relays for the flashers?

To mount them you could make up plinths from card, trim until they fit the arches to the right position then make up from ali. With a slight overlap at the bottom you could then rivet the edges together, PU in place onto the lamps and fit some rubber U trim where it touches the arch.

The other ones appear to be side markers, according to the diagram, so wouldn't do for stop lights, etc. With only 4 LEDs they would probably not be bright enough for the statutory rear/indicator lights.
