Lights

 A quick stock check first...


The front has a headlight hole, they're going to be for reusing the MX5 headlights once I find a full mounting kit. The one I got from Amazon was missing a key part so had to be removed.

Also on the front are two 70mm holes each side. One is for indicators, the other I'll use for sidelights initially although the headlight does contain side as well as normal and main beam lights.

At the rear there is a 45mm hole and a pair of 70mm holes. The 45mm is the indicator, a pair of the 70mm holes is stop/brake light, then there 'should' be one fog and one reverse light. 

Car builder solutions do a set of six. Two stop/brake, two indicator and two clear, all at 70mm, and all for £42.

So that covers the four on the front, and the brakes on the back. I still need to find the smaller rear indicators (as well as side repeaters), and then reverse and fog. 

They also do a reverse light, although it is sold as a pair for £14.40;

Although I'm tempted to mount these in the two holes then have a fog light as a separate unit that can be e-marked. 

If I can't find a fog or small indicator then I'll go for the ones above to get the majority of the lighting sorted, then find somewhere else to get the others.
