'NAS' Lighting

(1/17) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
After browsing through the 'Vehicle Wiring Products' & 'Bearmach' catalogues, I'm becoming more inclined to upgrading the 110's lighting.

It's the larger diameter NAS lights ('93-odd' mm as opposed to '70-odd' mm diameters) that are shown in the image posted by 'mmgemeni' shows in the topic; Extra Rear Lights (and also in this image L4 RDH)


So, to the questions; (you knew there'd be a catch :lol: )
1 With regard to the siting of the rear lights, is there an issue with them sitting flush with the bodywork, due to the 'corner capping'
2. with item #1 in mind, is it neccessary to cut/sand/grind the spacers for a better fit.
3.'mmgemeni's image answers a question, but due to the larger size, is there any conflict with swing-away wheelcariers? (dependant on make)

Thanks

As you've mentioned my name............ :lol:

1..Not that I remember.
I'll look tomorrow if
 [a]I remember.
  If the water has stopped falling from the sky.

You will need to enlarge the hole in the bodywork at the rear to reposition the lights.

I've only done the tail lights.
Nothing else.
LED bulbs are fitted as well.

I have a Mantec spare wheel carrier fitted.

Thanks Mike, it was just that the standard lights fit over the 'capping' & on the pressing that accomodates the tail/brake light

 
Mantec, or Bearmach 'swing-away' on the shopping list as well

I would have thought that with the spacers in place the light body would fit into the standard cut-out on all post (94?) models?

mmgemini:
I had a look this morning.
The plinth fits the capping bit OK.
Now you will need to move the hole that the light goes into.
I used the plinth as a template.

Mine is a 1995 model.
I didn't bother changing the bulb holders.
Just swapped them into the new lens.
