[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 9195, member: 456"] An alternative to the above which is perfect apart from the lack of side visibility inherent to the standard Vincent rear light is as follows. Gut the inside of a standard rear light and go to a breakers, or if all else fails buy new, the reflector for a modern small moped. This will have a reflector about 3" diameter with a bulb holder in the centre designed to take a twin filament bulb. You will probably have to trim the outside of the reflector to fit inside the original housing and you might have to make arrangements for the rear of the light to poke through the number plate. Mine did not need to have an extra hole. Fit a modern 5/21 watt bulb and then refit the original red plastic etc. I am assuming in all this that you have 12 volt lights. It is much more visible than the LED systems which replace the original bulbs and it looks almost standard for those who care about such things. [/QUOTE]
