There is someone on Ebay trying to sell a NOS set of later tailights. They are asking way too much for them but that is up to the bidders. The lens are available and you can get you housings rechromed. Do you need the early model or late model?

tail lights
todd,
they are new and there are no new ones being made. i sold a set in 2004 for 300.00 each and they were inside screws. the problem with the ones tim has on e bay is that they are outside screws which means they are series 5 units. i'll soon be putting a set of nos early lights on e bay. $$$$$$$$

Depending on series you have a few options.
If you need SI-3 tail lights, the upper indicator lenses are available repro from the sunbeam suppliers but they dont have the "LUCAS" markings on them. The housings were available from KIP motors, but i heard the quality was variable and some members who bought them found the housing quite bowed.
If you want the SIV-V setup, again the upper indicator lenses are available repro from the sunbeam suppliers, but the housings and lower lenses you will need to find S/H or NOS. However the later models share their setup with many other rootes cars, hillman minx, singers, humbers so you can still find them NOS if you look around, ebay Uk turns them up now and then.
The set Tim has for sale on ebay are the very late style SV alpine and late MKIA/MKII Tiger with the outside screws. To pay that you would want to be retsoring a very concourse factory correct alpine or tiger, as they are the only ones that used the outside screw lenses and they are not as nice looking as the internal screw lenses IMHO.
As for price.. well if you ask on the board i'm sure a member will come up with a very presentable set for a more palatable price.

Hey Norman, I have some early ones but they are not in great shape. I just got a set back from being re-chromed. If you need a set that have some dings in them but nothing I am proud of. If I had a set as nice as those Series 5 ones on Ebay they would be going on my car that I am restoring.

Well here is a guideline for NOS tail light prices:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220812194420&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
This was a pair of NOS tail lights, rubbers, housings, lenses and even the bulb holders. I was a little surprised as i think this was very cheap.. but there you go.. and they have all the parts including the holders which are often not with them.

Early Tail Light Assemblies
Norman:
I have several early Sunbeam (Series I-III) chrome tail light housings in pretty nice shape and some lower used lenses in pretty good condition as well. These would be fine for a daily driver. I also have a NOS upper lense that I would sell. If you or any of the other members are interested in seeing some pictures please email me at tylerite3124 at gmail dot com.
