For a while I was planning to replace my rear lights with something homebrew as I just can not find a nice aftermarket set that I like as much as I did on my previous Westfield.  Having already replaced my fog and reverse lights with those from the LED AutoLamps 82 Series, I thought maybe I should do the same for the indicators and stop/tail lights...?

 

The old units are quite wide, and these round lights are slightly taller than the space available, so out came Fusion360 and with a mockup of the rear arch part, I designed a holder for them that covers the old fixing holes and follows the arches.

After a few iterations and trial fits, the ultimate design was printed using ToughPLA.

4 captive nuts are embedded in the print so they are screwed on and easily replaced if they are damaged, or if I'm bored with the current design ;)

I've had to replace the indicator relay as the current load is now too low for the original relay.
