eBay would be your best bet, single lights are always advertised much cheaper than a main dealer |

The MOT regulations dont seem to say the light units on either side of the car must be identical as long as they show the correct colour light and brightness for the purpose, so one assumes you could fit an old early light unit to one side and a later one to the other, might look rubbish but you would be legal, even if it was only temporary whilst you track down another of the right type at the price youre willing to pay??

Unless the legislation has changed I agree. I once stuck a 1985 rear lamp cluster on a 1988 facelifted Cavalier as a temporary fix to get it through an MOT, which it duly passed. Whilst they looked totally different, the lampholders were still all in the correct places and there was no contravention at the time. Even Thames Valleys finest didn't bother me driving around with it on, and there were a lot more of them out on patrol back in the late 80's than there are now! Foraging near Gaydon....

In order for Westy to fit the older unit he would have to change the connector not a big job but is it worth faffing around forking out for a second hand older light and making the changes |
