Classic with LED Technology:   Lucas 542 Cobra Replica Lamp

Available since autumn 2012: Replica of the classic Lucas-542 tail light, retrofit with modern LED technology. Originally designed for motorsport use, meanwhile our customers have employed this shapely lamp in many Cobra and Super-7 road cars.

New 2019:   Head Light Flasher Module SU251 now User Programmable

It's a classic in our programme: Head light flasher/ TipFlash module.

Amongst others, the headlight flasher is used at endurance races for automatic head light / high beam flashing while lapping a car ahead. A quick fingertip on the flash button makes the headlight blinking for several times. New: The blink count can be programmed by the user without additional tools even when completely installed in the car. The module is short-circuit proof and can be used with all common headlight units (bulb / halogen / LED).
