Question Rear Combination Tailights

Hi Guys,
You all have probably discussed this before, but I can't find anything on the tailight assembly for the GT40. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find a pair? preferably LED ones.

Re: Rear Combination Tailights

The rear lights used by most people are the Fiat lights. They aren't totally original but look very similar and most of the manufacturers use these - not sure if they are still available as stocks ran very low. Fill out your location details as this will help people replying.

Re: Rear Combination Tailights

Look on Ebay for Simca 1000 tail lights.
They come up for sale ever couple months. If you cant find a pair, I may have a set I can sell to you. I have to search in my boxes.

Re: Rear Combination Tailights

If you really want the lower current consumption and cooler running LEDs you can always just use the LED replacement bulbs like these;

Super Bright LEDs - Car Bulbs



Note that some Turn Signal "Flashers" do not work well with these and have a tendency to flash way too fast..
