'NAS' Lighting
Bush Tucker Man:
Thanks Mike, I'll put them on the list & try to get them sorted (certainly before the clocks go back)
Litch:
Fitted a full set of 12-NAS lights to my 90 about 6-years ago, four at the front and eight at the rear.
You already know this but yes the bodywork needs to be drilled/cut, it took me all of 5-seconds thought before I attacked my lovely shiney new panels but I am glad I did it.
I use a WH carrier and it doesn't cover the lights at all, I suppose it might have an effect on the reversing & fog lights from some angles if you only have one of each but being paired-up I don't have that problem.
VWP are quite pricey for the lights, they are a good source for the connectors but shop around and you can get the lights cheaper.
Over the years my front side-lights have started to yellow (where the vehicle is parked they face the sun all afternoon) so replacement is on the cards. Also they can fill with condensation but I found a (very) small hole drilled at the bottom of each unit will stop this completely.

Thanks 'Litch'
I'm looking around for suppliers
I meant to ask at 'WandaHomes' when we called this afternoon as, I think(?), Elddis use the same tail lights on certain vans now
Arriva also have the same lights for front indicators & side-lights on certain vehicles.
And guess where father-in-law works for? :wink:
I'll get him to find out trade-prices
Litch:
When I bought my lights I got them from LR as they weren't in widespread use then, they gave me 10% discount and I think they worked out at around £10.50 each (6-years ago). Now you see the same lights on vans, buses, coaches, motorhomes, trailers etc.
Try your local commercial vehicle motor-factors. I have recently seen them for about £8.50 each inc plinth & bulb-holder but I can't remember where it was. If I remeber I will let you know as I am after some more anyway. :lol:
Bush Tucker Man:
I went into a decent Commercial Vehicle electrical suppliers in Wakefield earlier today with the intention of finding out the price from them.
Unfortunately there was a new guy in the shop & he couldn't help me with out a manufacturer (& possibly part number)
So, who makes them?, please :D
