Now that they're distracted... I have a similar question for those of
you familiar with the early BN7s & BT7s. As you know there are the small
reflectors above the tail/brake lites. Has any one converted the reflectors
to actual working tail lights? I'm thinking it would be more effective use
of the space as opposed to retaining the reflectors.

I converted the reflectors on my BN1 to serve as turn signals, leaving the
original three-function light to serve as brake and running light. The
conversion could just as easily be done on six-cylinder cars. Jim's
observation about
retaining a reflector is very sound and I will add one or put retroflective
tape on the bumper.
BTW this subject was dealt with exhaustively on the British Car Forum about a
month ago with part numbers for both incandescent and LED bulbs and holders
given.
