I was just doing a bit of web surfing to see what's out there and at a quick glance it appears you can only get the replacements with just the reverse light. Mine is a GQ2 which has only the reverse light and big red non working brake/parker lens. The indicator and brake lights are in the bumper. I just want to put a bulb and what not on there, and patch into the wiring so the upper brake/parkers work. Might be better off just getting a sparky to wire it up. I do work for an engineering firm so I should be able to get someone to sort it out for me!

This is the style that I have, and you can see that the upper lens is closed off, I don't know whether I can just run a holesaw through the plastic at the diameter of a bulb holder and patch in the wiring or not.

Just found these ones, looks like the globe and cables are there, just gotta patch them in to the existing loom in the bumpers.......... I'm looking to do this as well at some point in the near future.

edit: might be an idea to change out the globes to led to lessen the current draw and prevent blown fuses

yeah, I was thinking of going LED, they'd be a little brighter too. Hmmm, decisions,decisions...I like the look of the ones currently in the old girl, would the triple lens be as aestheticaly pleasing? hehe. I notice you are here in the Wild West as well clunk...might be a chance to meet up and endure the tail light mission....

oh yes, I'm with ya there................ seems like everyone on the night shift thread is too mate, you should head on over there and have a natter

Anyone know about the legal issues with these lights? I like the prices of the Ebay lights, but had a salesperson tell me none of yhem are ADR approved. This means there could be insurance or rego issues. Any one know anything about this. Of course the lights he could source me were over double the price of the ebay ones.

As long as you retain the original lights in the bumper your legal lighting requirements are covered, additional tail lights are accessory lights in the same way as spot lights.
Even if you were to fit ADR approved upper tail lights (and remove the bumper mounted lights) they would still not be legal unless you permanently removed/relocated your spare wheel.
