    Default Ref lights

    The info that Thompson gave is correct.
    On the front 4" amber at the bottom and clear on top.
    The rear had the deep 2.5" red lamp at top and 4" amber on the bottom.
    I have not seen too many Series III's with the original format.
    We have been unable to secure a reliable source on the side repeater lamps, either front or rear. Many folks have used the MG/Triumph lamps, though these have a curved rubber base as opposed to the flat base of the Landrover version.

    The curved rubbers (ala MGB) can be made flat with a stationary belt sander. You get to do your fingernails at the same time.
    I can't remember if it was XKs Unlimited, Moss Motors or Minia-Mania, but one of them had flat ones awhile ago, so I bought 4. Before you ask, they're gone, on the last 2A I restored.

    I bought the correct rubber pieces from Moss for $13.
    I believe they have the red lens but not the amber.
    I forget which vehicle they were listed under, I remember it took some digging on their site to find them.
    Picked up a couple of the trim rings off eBay for $10 shipped.

    All I need is the black rubber. The Midget (rear) and Spitfire used similar marker lights, but the MGB used pointy markers like Midget front. Anyway, I found the rubber bits for a Spitfire (at $20 per!!!). I needed them recently for a Midget I restored and couldn't find them. I'll check Moss again.

    I stand corrected. I knew it was one of those little cars.
