Does anyone know where I can get some of these rear lights from, I don't want LED as there more expensive, semi trailers have them with normal globes, but I can't find anyone who stocks them or what brand they are?!
Any help would be great!!

any place that sells truck accesories will have them in globe form and LED.

Yes - they are a sealed unit. My Kimberley Kamper has them fitted. Haven't had to replace one yet, so I don't know $$$$.

The only downside to this style of light that isnt LED is that when a globe blows you have to replace the whole unit because it is sealed.

I run the rectangle sealed lights in my nissan and havent had to replace them yet and its been well over a year. They cost me around $25 each from a truck place.

Crap - I didn't realise that, so if you get the LED's and when they die can you replace them?? Narva wanted about $40 each light for the globe versions. Mmmm....what to do? Maybe just some cheap K-Mart versions that stick out!

The LEDs basicly dont blow (for a VERY long time anyway)
The only time you will need to replace an LED one is if you smash them.

When I rang up Narva, they quoted the retail price of about $35 each for the sealed globe ones and to get them from Repco (Rip Every Poor C#@t Off)
I drove past a truck place which I hadn't seen before down Wollongong way and I got them for $25 each..... Nice!!!

Was going to say queensland diesel spares up here has them for $25. The LEDs that narva offers are super expensive...i got quoted $165 per light for round narvas so about $650 dollars for 2 indicators and 2 stop/tail. Reverse lights in LED are usually at least double that price too but i think they may have a guarantee on them to never blow a bulb? i still couldnt ever justify the price tho.
