Escort mk4 tinted rear light

[davidh2905]

I'm looking for a new smoked N/S rear light, can only find O/S ones on Fleabay

[SS2.]

Breakeryard ?

Or get a can of tinting spray and DIY ?

I just bought a pair of NOS Escort lights and tinted them myself... Look good even if I do say so myself LOL

They do come up on eBay every so often

[GadgeS3C]

Not cheap and for a pair but does this help?

I Tried these guys a while back - whilst they are displayed as available. I was told they are no longer available and haven,t been for sometime. I think the only way is to wait on EBAY, as they do come up once in a while. I never really thought the homemade tints ever looked as good as the factory items IMO.

I got mine from Essex racing last March - £30 a pair. Customizedcarworld were also showing them in stock but when I ordered they told me they didn't have any and didn't have a delivery date from the supplier for new stock. Looks like Essex racing were also running out of stock and ramped up the price.

Have you tried any escort forums - i'm fairly sure i sourced my spare set on an RS forum.

[GadgeS3C]

Oh well - I knew I'd seen a supplier. Sods law as when I found them I thought as they were still available I wouldn't bother ordering a spare set...

I do not see it mentioned, so:
Since our rear lights are upside down, N/S rear light on an S is O/S on an Escort.

news to me !

I think Griffith or Chimaera are "swapped" but S Series are as Ford intended I believe ?

i won a set of these on ebay the other week - seller is now refusing to send them as he claims "sorry but i broke one of them" - more like he isnt happy with the price the auction ended at

speaking of broken lights

doesnt look oem style, but is advertising both sides (seperately)

[techbotics]

Nomad racing In Deeby used to stock them.

Bounty Hunter - the units in your link, look a bit iffy anyway. Doesn't look like the genuine article IMO - the blacked out bits look a bit weird, as if they have had a touch of DIY.

This looks a bit more like the real thing, but as you say, only drivers side (might be worth asking if he has other sides)

At this price, hard to go wrong.

[davidh2905]

I bought one of these! They only have O/S ones though

[Deeman]

David - have you tried asking him where he's sourcing them, and whether he can do the passenger sides too?

[davidh2905]

Tried that, they are old stock and he can't source any more

[Deeman]

Looks like a case of wait it out on EBAY my friend. Takes time, but they do come up
