Where to buy Lucas tail light?
What is the best way of going about buying and installing a Lucas tail light with an LED bulb?
Why are the ones at Newbonneville so expensive? Is there anywhere else? I've done a search on these lights but there's basically too much confusing information here about it.

I went with the MaundSpeed Lucas lamp/adapter.It bolts on in place of the stock lamp,no drilling required and uses the factory rubber mounts. It's not the cheapest lamp around but you get what you pay for.Also,it isn't LED,but that is a simple fix.

Thanks, but do you have a link for where I can get it? Also, how's the brightness compared to stock? Do you feel you've given anything up on safety?

I see these are just taillights, what about turn signals? Also I would like something plug-and-play. Electricity is one area I do not want to get involved in.

I mounted Lucas style turn signals to the tail light.
I'm not too good with electricity, just took some time to find out which wires do what.
NewBonneville has a plug & play but I don't think it's LED.

Sorry about the NewBonneville suggestion, short attention span!

No problem. You did have to cut wires and solder though, right?

Bella Corse has an LED option for their Lucas style lights. http://www.bellacorse.com/bcc003.htm
Not expensive, but still requires drilling new holes. That's not hard to do, though.
There are also LED bulbs to replace the incandescent bulbs. http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...-bulb/170/767/
