Hi guys

Ive had my noble just over 3 months now and it came with some horrible afterburner rear lights so im wondering if anyone would fancy a swap with some standard rear lights but they must include the bulb holders and drive down to me if possible as I know the afterburner lights are worth alot more than the standard rear lights.

PM if your intrested.

They are not standard afterburners - they are pretty much a one-off. I remember looking at that car online, had different side indicators etc aswell, they suggested it had cost a lot.

If you want standards, then just hunt for a set on ebay Mk1 mondeo saloon.

It makes your car unique tho !

I like the fact that it's unique but it ruins the car IMO and I'm desperate to get rid of them.

I've got a set of standard lights but I can't get hold of any bulb holders any where.

Shame I just gutted a second pair of original lenses and I'm afraid I'm going to cut up the bulb holders too.

I can't blame you, they really aren't great. cant you just replace the lamps with Perei or Hella LED units, that would probably do the trick.

Thought this was going to be a "look what a mess I've made!!!" thread. Sorry but they do look awful, and understand you wanting rid. I've had a quick look and they are not about. It seems these parts are in short supply, best of luck in your search, best chance is someone on here having a spare set!!

Name your price and I will have the bulb holders off you?

Im not keen on the afterburner lights myself but can usually see the appeal of having something different... but those are awful.

Im in Essex (near colchester) and I have had absolutely no intention of letting my spare set of lights go, however in this case I will make an exception as your car needs saving lol

If your on the Facebook page drop me a note and we can sort collection if your local?

If yours is the car I think it is. I went to see it when the then current owner was selling it. (He sold it to Mole Valley, eventually)? Anyway, he had the original lights, to put it back to standard if required. Might be worth a shout to Mole Valley to see if they could chase them up?

Yeah that's the car. He gave me a spare set of lights but no bulb holders.
