Hi all,

Does anyone have some switches for tail lights they could part with, as mine have fallen apart. I need 1 of the single bayonets and 1 at least or hopefully 2 of the twin bayonets as my twin one has very short wires that I might have a hard time soldering onto.

We couldn't find any single one's, my auto electrican had to use the twin one's on the loom..

i needed some of those for my reverse lights , i ended up knocking the collar out of the housing & pressing a regular globe holder back in , easy fix ,

With some minor mods to the collars, these will do the single ones:

Hi Bigrevnev and Harv,

Would you mind taking a photo or explaining how you retro fitted your globe holders? These are what I found at Bursons (rare sprares have something similar for 5 times the price as usual). I was thinking about knocking the centres out too, and have a spare tail light assembly to experiment with, but rather than butcher it, instruction from someone who has done it already might save me some hassle.

I used exactly what you have in the packet only i have boxes of these as spares from smash work , Just bench grind the plastic housing down & peel it of ,the metal housing is a perfect press fit just a tap in with a hammer , Just belt the old collar out three hits will do it

Thanks mate - did you bash the original out while the tail light assembly was in place, and if so, bash into the car or from the inside out?

my lights were bolted to the car all though it doesnt matter , The collars will punch out either direction , I used a tube socket ,one came out dead easy the second one mangled a bit , dont tap the new holders in to far or the globes wont twist in to lock in position , dead easy

Thanks mate - new ones in and all working now!
