Tail light assembly part
08/30/17 at 08:16:26

I have a damaged one of these light I want to hook up.

https://www.classicbritishspares.com/products/mt110-rear-lucas-copy-tail-ligh...

Inside is a spring, and a plastic connector with two copper/brass pins that the light connects to.

I was wondering if the internal assembly, the spring/plastic and copper piece is sold anywhere. It looks pretty universal but I have no idea what those parts would be called.

Or buy a cheap light and steal the parts out of that. Other than that, go to an auto supply, they might have an assembly you can use.

Didn't know what that assembly was called. I see there are plenty of LED bulbs but I don't know if they are a straight conversion. 12V bulbs would need a resistor as well correct?

They say "plug and play" but I don't think that's correct. Doesn't the LED bulb need a resistor?

Flasher is the only place a resister would be required to get the flash rate correct. Unless of course you were making your own led light out of components. But I don't think you're doing that.

if you're using a 1156 or 1157, it's made for 12v. plug and play.

if you got a hand full of leds with bare leads, they are made for 1.5v and you'll need to chain a number of them together and maybe a resister or you'll get a very bright light for a few seconds.
