Hallo I have a question, I have I mounted the original Van or Traveller rear lights on my Marcos (up side down).
The lights don’t give enough of light so I thought to fit the LED tail light bulb conversion kit, but I do not know for sure if it fits.

One of the safety issues with classic Minis is the dim tail lights - lighting technology has come a long ways since the cars were introduced. Here is a simple way to brighten your tail lights and improve safety. Our LED tail light bulb conversion kit dramatically improves visibility from the rear, day and night. LED 'bulbs' are ultra-long lasting and durable - you may never need to replace your tail lights again! Sold per pair.
Fits the Mk I saloon, 3-screw style tail lights/lamps only. Negative ground cars only.





Kind regards G-J

When you see all the Audi's and BMW's etc are now fitting LED lights as standard, and mine passed the MOT with them on. I think it should be ok. ( but hey.... PC PLOD might have other ideas !

have you got a link from the ebay shop you bought them from zacherius? i have searched but i am a little untrusted to the other ebay shops that sell similiar types.

and G-J those lights are brilliant, do you have a website link for them?

I bought mine ffrom VIRTUAL VILLAGE ( Ebay Shop ) based in China but were delivered in a week which is about the same as most stuff from ebay !
I've just asked the missus however as I paid £2.99 for mine, but they are now all looking about £12.99. She told me I paid £2.99 and about £6.00 postage !!!! ooops.
However, the price may have gone up, but i'd buy them again. My tail/stop light was dim and "orange", this bulb is no bigger than standard bulbs, but gives a perfect RED glow. I have clear rear lights so these were perfect.

( If thats right, are they 382's or 380's ?? )

I think the grey area is with LEDs not being aligned properly?

[yeti21586]

Going back to the original question the LED conversion boards wont fit your van lights, they are made to fit the MK1 saloon rear lights.
