Does anybody know what company makes Morgan electrical parts? I would really like to buy another 12 volt power outlet (cigarette lighter plug), to put on the driver side, also a white light to replace the rear fog light.

Cigar lighter sockets are freely available from most auto-electrical outlets. Problem is although they have become an industry standard their design is poor with single point contact for centre positive connection. The DIN/Hella type (with matching plug) are superior in design as well as compact by comparison.

High power white LED reversing lights, 55mm with heat sink and three mounting lugs, almost identical to the OE red LED fog light, should be available from kit car accessory outlets. They will be a straight swap. Check out reversing light thread here and see below.

I would measure the hole carefully - I have bought 2 different ones off eBay and neither of them would fit through the hole

They need to be 55mm OD which seems to be a standard.

Well a little more work involved but easy enough. For the extra power socket a fresh set of wires from fuse 18.

For the rear light as it's hard wired to its adjacent plug/socket, you would need to splice to existing power cables using say bullet connectors after cutting off the unrequired lamp cables. Better still pick up redundant cables on other side of plug/socket which will provide you with live switched power feed via gearbox reverse switch (see linked thread). Light itself a simple bolt in replacement smile

maybe I will just mount a strip light underneath and tie it into the fog circuit.

You could do that assuming the fog light itself was disconnected. Why not connect your strip to reversing light circuit though, which ironically would be less work, whilst retaining fog light smile
