Hello Geoff,

I have the same problem, as you know well, with my 403. The rear lights, though extremely elegant and slippery, aerodynamic-wise, are simply too small and angled to offer a good lighting; this makes Aerodynes potentially at risk in traffic during after dusk.

I'll be trying to fit more powerful LED bulbs next week but I have the impression that anything that we will put there would be fairly useless, as it's the size (small) and position of the rear lamps that make them not visible; nearly useless in fact.

What can we do? It's very difficult to find any light that could fir an Aerodyne body without spoiling its lies and sticking out ungainly. Also a small central stop light in the rear window is quite annoying to fit and see. It's a real problem, if one wants to use one of these cars in low lights.

All the best

Stefano
