Can anyone help me? I just bought a 1962 mini (850), and below the rear taill lights there are two( one each side) small lights (clear), with lucas england on the glass. They are a small version of the front ones. Apparantely this car came from england. Has anyone seen these before, and what do they do?
Thanks, steve.

Wow, thats sounds really weird!!! Never ever seen anything like that B4. Has some1 fitted them at some stage over the cars life for reverse lights or fog lights, or do they look original. Gee that must look a bit strange havin lights there!!!

They look totally original, same glass as the front indicators, just a smaller version. They dont look out of place at all. Inscribed with the lucas of england on glass.

NEVER have i heard of that
maybe you should take them out to see if its a nice cut hole
or a messy one... messy means usually a homejob

first you take the chrome ring off, it pushes the rubber ring off around it
and then the rubber thing, then the glass

or take a look behind/underneath the panel
make sure you put the chrome ring back on properly, SQUEEZING the rubber thing around it. thats the only thing that holds the glass in place
tug it just in case

pictures?
