In the 1984 Repco catalogue BriLaw is listed as selling: Chrome Trim Rings, (dress rims) Mirrors and Window Tint Film. You can bet that they were just distributors of imported stuff.
Stick to manufacturers names like Hella, Bosch, etc.

Put it this way. I fitted a Brilaw high level brake lamp to my first Mini. It melted within a few months in the Sydney sun. :(
