Standard looking lights but with led’s - exist ?

I’m looking for a set of lights, front and back that look like the original item but have led internals.

I’m not a fan of the ‘Christmas bauble’ look that aftermarket lights seem to have but equally fed up of unreliable bulb holders - is there a standard looking light on the market ?

I have truck lites, while not OEM they certainly don't look like a modern car. I got them for the legality and necessity of driving at night in the country a lot.

Ahh, you’re talking about headlights, I meant side lights / tail lights / indicators

I have JW Speaker front position lights with built in DRL and matching front indicators. Not OEM but not Christmas bauble either. Available through Mobile Centre.

I have fitted LED bulbs into the original Lucas 488 sidelights on my series one if thats the kind of thing you mean. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Thank you for the suggestions.

Don’t want the SVX lights thank you.

I’d thought about LED bulbs in original holders, probably the route I’ll have to go but I think there’s a gap in the market for a totally standard looking light with leds inside that aren’t reliant on the crap bulb holder.

Not much choice in standard 73mm, Wipac or Bearmach.

Agree. Though for me they should also mimic the slow on/off of an incandescent light. Which requires a controller to create a PWM signal. Which sometimes flickers
