Aero S1

Are they as fitted to any other vehicle?

Also I broke reflector.

HELP.

Lee,

Did some digging after we spoke earlier, I believe the Lucas numbers are the following:

Brake - Lucas L795
Indicator - Lucas L794
Reverse - Lucas L794
Fog - Lucas L795

Reflector - god knows I tried everywhere for that, got no where (same with the side repeator and rear Morgan wings badge).. might be worth trying the factory next time you are down there - maybe if we buy enough each they will order some?

I did find when searching for these that often only the lens was available, and when I did get a whole item it wasn't always correct (I got one that looked about 30years old - NOS) and that was different to the one I got from the factory.
If I recall the factory weren't to bad price wise on these, so I would get what you can from them..

Thanks Nick

Thinking about it those numbers should differ as some are the same, must have noted them wrong so will look tomorrow.

794 is clear
795 is red

If you want to use clear indicators and yellow bulbs it's good.

Those are not the original combination but good.

Good excuse to fit LED lights with the option of using clear lens all round. Classic Car LED's have them including Canbus friendly indicators.

So I double checked all the numbers, and it is a bit confusing so let me clarify incase this gets asked again in the future!

Red Stop/Tail - Lucas L795 (x2)
Red Fog - Lucas L795 (x1)
Orange Indicator - Lucas L794 (x2)
Clear Reverse - Lucas L794 (x1)
Reflector - Hella A 5132 / VD-99AB / JRU368IA 0231291R3 (This is all thats printed on it, besides a few symbols such as an A in a box between the A and 5132).

Now the keen eyed might notice some of the numbers are the same.. and that is correct, I have checked the printing on the lights (both the originals and the new set I have) and they all show the same. My only explanation for this is there must be sub numbers that differentiate the L794 between clear and orange.
The L795 is the same lens, but the innards are different for the Stop/Tail, to the Fog. Having compared what is available online (including a few I purchased) to the ones Morgan supplied it would seem that Morgan (or someone on their behalf) has modified them to create what they want, so the metal mounting plate, the bulb holder using a twin-filament bulb etc.

I have attached a few pictures to help show this.

Morgan sourced units:
Stop/Tail:


Fog:


Reverse:


Indicator:



Lucas sourced units from eBay etc:
Red unit:

(Note the different plug, and this appears to be the only red L795 variant outside of Morgan)

Orange unit:



Figured I would attach the Morgan diagram as well, for clarity:





Hope that helps

There are also two versions of the red L795. One red is deeper than the other. But otherwise identical.

Yeah I think all the bases are basically the same and as used on the trads but the deeper lenses are not available that I can see.

Infa t Morgan say they can’t supply the Trad rear lights either which is odd.

Aha good point yes I believe the Trads use the shorter ones, to add even more confusion!
