The only problem is that Morgan seems to use a size that is not all that comon. 73mm and 95mm diameter replacement LED lamps are readily available but Morgan uses lamps that are about 82 mm or 3 1/4 inches diameter. The plinth is 84 mm or 3 5/16 inches diameter. Nobody seems to make replacement LED replacements in this size. I have considered gutting the existing units and putting 73 mm lamps inside them.


I'm also considering this as a future project. Some of the modern LED sidelight, brakelight and indicator units are well put together a look to be fully sealed against the weather. Just a case of figuring out how to mount them to the car and retain the style.

If the existing plinths are 84mm in diameter and you can get lights that are 95mm, one simple solution would be to get some sleeves to go over the existing plinths to match up with the larger size lights, the easy way to do this would be to use a 3D printer. That way you could print sleeves with the necessary 5.5mm wall thickness so they could be fixed over the existing plinths, retaining the original body fixings.


I love the way you say "the EASY way to do this would be to use a 3D printer"

Just rolls of the tongue doesn't it !!!!
