After much procrastinating I finally went ahead and ordered and integrated tail light from eBay.
It's made by a company called Tuner x and because they are based near Vancouver, I thought to myself, at least it's not going to be some cheap Chinese nonsense.
However, I've a feeling there's one guy in a little office in Canada which means it looks like it comes from there but no, it does come from China.
There are a number of folk selling integrated tail lights on eBay starting from about thirty something quid and because this unit was £62 plus postage, I hoped the looks made up for the bigger price tag.
Anyway, I fitted it and I'm happy to report I'm pleased with it. It looks the part, feels like good quality and having checked with my local MOT station, it is also legal.
Fitting was easy; the stop/tail light part plugs straight into the original plug but the indicators needed a little working out.
It's weird because there is only one wire for each light but you can stuff it in the connector after unplugging the original indicator. Easy!
I like the fact that though it keeps the shape of the original, the lights look a little different as you can see here and on the eBay listing.
Sorry that one of the pics is twisted, this computer witchcraft is a bit beyond me sometimes but it gives you an idea what it looks like (with an R&G tail tidy)
Here's the link in case you're interested
