Lotus Elan rear lights question

Bit like this..

Yet another variation on these lights, this time three units in each -



Homemade perhaps?

Just spotted a picture posted by Rupert in the Wheeler Dealers thread which shows clear rear indicator lenses (not sure whose car it is sorry) -



Are these openly available or a one-off? I am guessing that it's just the lamp that was replaced rather than the complete cluster?

it's Ruperts car

Just the orange plastic cover replaced that's all.
Not possible with A610 lights as they are sealed up.
The perspex cover on the GTA lights can be carefully removed to get to the the orange one, cut it off and fit the clear one.

Thanks Rupert. I have now found the covers listed as Elan units -

It is possible with the sealed lights. A lot of care is needed though!

As John says it is possible on the A610 lights but you need to remove the silicone sealant carefully. Look at the shockingly bad build quailty inside

While it seems several groups are considering remaking rear light covers (all good work, hope it comes off) it appears that Cizeta have also needed to consider an alternative solution for their V16T thingy....





It's the only pic I've found, but it looks like a pair of round lamp units behind some kind of 'patterned' cover unit??
