[QUOTE="overthehill, post: 1044, member: 251"] all of the above with the addition of a reflector cut from an old jap light (or a torch would do) I used the pattern vincent lamp, removed the partition and cut a hole in the base to take the rubber grommet that holds the twin filament bulbholder from a Lucas lamp; fitted with a 8w/23w bulb. the only trouble i had was that the prismatic lense i had was flat so it doesnot fit snugly inside the convex 'stop' cutout and also doesnt leave much clearance for the bulb. - it requires some silicone to keep it inplace in the 'stop' cutout. I will lookout for a more suitable lense for markII but in the meantime is a considerable improvement. using a twin filament bulb also gives a wider selection of led bulbs if you want to improve things further although the bulb height is critical.
