this may possibly be best answered by classic d20 but all ideas welcome

my willys needs its lighting improved as it nearly none so am looking for some retro looking tail lights cj ones look a touch big and to modern looking
if i can find somthing old looking that combines brakes indicator and side i will be happy i dont want to use two seperate lights like old landys

thanks in advance folks

Sorry Bubba I meant to say Car lights. I just googled Classic car rear lights and there are loads to choose from under the images link

I quite like the 'burger' lights, got the bulb type on tonka but recon the slimline LED units would suit a willys

This is a good site

LEDs on the 1 TON are 85mmround so could be an answer................... but maybe could be seen as too modern?

i have fitted hamburger lamps to no7 and they look ok but think they slightly to large for the 47 to look right and not quite retro

i dont want to duplicate the wartime set up as there have been several fatality's due to the poor ilumination at night in the last few years 6 volts dont help

I have fitted my 2A with rear lamps from www.s-v-c.co.uk their part number is 1252.
They are not as big as the 'hamburger' lamps and dont look to out of place

we got the 1252's on the beauford wedding cars , decent lamp and good light output, they wouldn't look too out of place on the cj'2

have you seen these? LED replacements for standard units

Bubba · « **Reply #19 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:03:30 PM »

i have but no indicator

lwbcj6 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 01, 2011, 11:05:51 PM »

Not a combined indicator and brake light but can be recessed seperately with a chrome or black bezzel ring or mounting flange as they call them over there.
Its the ST series round ones.
Hope it helps
