Alternative to the rare spotlights.
Ive been on mission this past week to locate some spotlights for my series 2. Usual routes want mortgage payments for them. So as I was at the NEC this past weekend, I scoured the autojumble for a set.
Im pleased to report I found these for a bargain 15 english pounds. They are a Unipart part, and are the same dimensions as the original spec. They are also shallow enough to clear the bonnet. I know they arent original, but are good enough if you must have spotlights on your motor.

As request a few more pics, dont have them mounted on the car as yet, as the front bumper is still off, but will have them on soon i hope.
As you can see, they arent that far from the Ford ones.

Ive no idea mate. I picked these up at the NEC Classic Show in Birmingham in November. Id imagine looking around British classic websites/forums might find you a set. With Unipart being a British Leyland company, they might have been optional extras on some of their cars. Im still a member of some of them forums, Ill see what I can uncover.

Carello is really the only way to go.... My RS came with them still fitted on the car, but they where rotten. I got myself a pair of used Halogen spots( more period than the ones the OP has posted)
I'm pretty sure the RS1600i had Hella spots and lower fogs?
And for that reason the best option for the closest match, without paying over £100 for the Carellos or Ford accessory spots would be the Hella comet 500 spots.
They are a lot cheaper than the ones people pay good money for, All you need to do is buy the ford decals from DMB when you remove the Hella decals.
