LUCAS L542

[peterc]

Mine have no markings at all on the lense so clearly a copy. I think I will leave them that way besides they have some fancy LED's behind them now so are clearly not originals.
I worry about where I park my car as it is without adding more (very expensive) authentic parts.
I do appreciate that is one of the many reasons why Rogers car is worth three/ four times the value of mine. ( Of course the Ali body and genuine 289 engine probably accounts for most of it)

It's all a load of BS anyway, if you ask me

Not sure I understand why lens markings are BS, but anyway these are very nice:



They can be purchased from Rogers' Motors in the US, at a bargain $75 each -

Clearly the Lucas copyright doesn't extend that far. Very nice, helpful people.

Haha! Brilliant - 50 bucks! Have another look at 2pm on the 18th!

These should be correct - described as 'original Lucas' but incredibly cheap (and a lot of them) if that's true!

I can't see any script on them, not Lucas nor L542

I think they're the same as the ones originally fitted to my Kirkham as they have no markings on them. However, the rubber is a MUCH better fit than the current UK supplied lights and possibly worth getting for that alone.

I took a punt on a pair of these, which have just arrived. The photos show no markings as you say, but the lamps definitely have all the correct embossed markings on them. They also have the correct Lucas brass 'push-in' bullets in the connections, as is typical with NOS (i.e. not copper ones like copies seem to have), and by all accounts they have the exact appearance of originals as claimed and at a very good price.

I was all set up for an argument and a refund, but they're great!
