Yes JR Wadhams and also Roverpart Of London.
If they are only faded then save yourself some money and buy some glass paint in Amber from a hobby shop. Re-paint the inside of them and they will look like new again.

LSUK sell them, which is who supplies everyone else. I think they are around £6-7.
Halfords also seem to do them or did.

I have never seen the whole units offered in Halfords - did you mean the bulbs?

thanks all, it is the whole unit, not just the bulbs. The lenses are cracking up and, I reckon, it won't be long before they call it a day ! Was in Halfords / Motor world, earlier to-day; the ones they have are similar in length but the shape is not the same. Will give LSUK / Wadhams a call. Thanks again.

You could try David Green for second-hand ones. 01284 788269 or david@greenp5.fsnet.co.uk. He can be busy at times but he is very obliging.

Hi all, Some info came whilst I was 'off'....anyway, thought you might like an up-date........... Halfords etc., sell modern shaped amber or white 'accessory lights that, according to my measurements, would fit OK but they are not even close to the shape of the original. LSUK - Main Parts- St Leonards-on-Sea, do not list nor could they find any refernce to them ! Have been in touch with JRW and, 4 lenses are on their way - I was given to understand that they are a direct 'look-a-like' replacement.........Will keep you posted, for future use. Thanks again, John A.

My apologies on this I though you meant the flasher units not the lamp unit.
It is the flasher units, that give you the on/off flashing. I have seen these in Halfords and def bought them in LSUK. handy to know if your ever stuck.
Is JRW doing the clear lenses? i contacted Scott's in Australia and they do the lenses and said they could try and get the clear ones knocked out so some one must have the moulds...

Colin, Glad that we sorted that out ! What was the Part No in Halford's, please. Might be worth a look or, with LSUK. Must confess that I had not given the 'flasher' unit a thought, as the lights flash ! Anyway, my problem turned out to be two ! A bulb that was intact but did/does not work and, the Negative lead corroded in the 'not connected' position ! The lead has been sorted, the unit works - with a bulb from a known working one; so, all I need to do now is buy some more bulbs ! Thanks for all of your help. John A.

Make sure you get the right size bulbs. Take one with you as a pattern. Most of the ones available are too big and while they might fit in the holder you'll split the orange cover trying to fit them. A while back I posted the correct part number of the festoon bulbs which are available from any A1 Motor Stores. Unfortunately I cannot remember the number now.

Dear all, to bring this thread to a close, thought you would like to know that the replacement lenses from JRW, arrived to-day and, that they are quite literally, as per original. Thanks for all of your contributions - the right sized bulbs are the last in the chain and, LSUK look favourite for this! Kind Regards, John A.
