I have been trying to find some old style round 1950`s/1960`s front sidelights for a caravan of ours,something of quality with a bit of chrome.
Most classic car sidelights protrude into the body by 2 or 3 inches,which is of no use to me,I need something which is fixed onto the exterior panelwork.
I have looked at available Lucas,Britax etc lights but nothing suitable,I have scoured Ebay and still no luck.
Any suggestions on this.

hi gresham
were in the same boat early royale's were fitted with white dome shaped front running lights.
one of our members found a pair of clear lens lights at a steam fair auto jumble not the same but as close as we have got so far it's just a matter of luck and good rumaging

You can get these on ebay cheap. The rubber boots are new production. The rings are usually second hand as are the glas lenses. There are 2 types of lens. This one, 488, and a more domed one (which I like better) Come in Red, Amber and White. Like this

I found some new period looking sidelights a few weeks ago on good old EBAY.
They are similar to Morris Minor rear lights but are flush fitting not like the Morris one`s that stick into the bodywork by about three inches.
You do not want to lay in bed at night and feel the rubber housing pressing through your pillow.
