The L549 would work and look MUCH better than VW tail lights. But the L549 is not the original TD tail light.

There are two styles of lights used on original TDs.

Early TD’s have a more rectangular/squared off lens.

Later TDs and TFs used a simple round tail light

This is a line drawing from Moss Motors, but I think you can see the difference to the L549 lens and base. The early TD is in the box labeled “54”, the later TD and TF is in the box labeled “61”:

Here is a rear shot of an earlier TD. You can see the “squared” tail light:

And here is a 1953 round tail light TD:

Sorry to be so anal about this. But a lot of what we do here is educate each other. If you are trying to achieve an authentic look and are going to spend money doing it, I just want you to make informed decisions.

Bravo, Paul.

I do believe that MGA style light looks a little better on most replicas than the original deal, because the replicas usually have the VW plinth molded in to the fender. The MGA item is, I think, a little bigger and seems to blend better than the early TD style. The round ones–forget it, unless you’re grinding and re-filling the molded plinth part on your fenders.

All bets off for those with BCWs (early style TD tail lights, standard equipment) or Allisons (which come with the late round tail lights).

 A little late but,, Morris Minor, MGA ,Triumph and others used a lucus # L549 plastic light lens that will screw to the ‘LUCKY’ light base that seem to be used on most kits other than VW  they were an exact fit on my car  And you can find them made of Glass !  Dan

 Paul, Look in the photo gallery at RedMGTD,RichBelfay,RobBaker’s cars .They all have the ”Lucky” taillights.I think they are usually found on CMC front engine cars but I have seen them on VWbased cars as well.

Got it. thanks. I had never heard them referred to as “Lucky” talilights

More Lucas optimism, for sure!

Ok  here are the tail lights that beenthere has for sale . make offer?
