Original lights didn't have a built in indicator, a previous owner had fitted external indicators and removed the functionality of the Trafficators. Although I prefer the look of the original Lucas D-Lamp with stop & tail the indicators were very much an addition. As part of the re-wire the Trafficators will be back in use and we have included an additional circuit for warning hazards.
After spending what can only be described as a silly amount of cash on new rear lights it does allow the indicator to be included within the light. Still not sure why they didn't amend the design to put the indicator on the outer edge of the lens, seems odd seeing it inboard. I originally purchased lights with conventional bulbs however while testing on the bench the hot melt glue used to secure the bulb holders melted and stuck to the clear lens, this prevented the lamp unit from opening. I sent these back and was offered an LED version, something about LED bulbs I don't like, just seem harsh but no other choice.
The quality of the chrome is ok, the water proofing of the lights I'm really not sure about, not convinced the LED panels will survive the UK weather.
As with the headlights we created an assembly that allows the rear panel to be removed from the car if required. It is designed to drop down on flexible wires to allow access to the spare wheel.
The cable is 1mm Thinwall rated at 16amps and sleeved with cable heat shrink and 6-way AMP Econoseal connectors.
