Does anyone know exactly what the rear lights should look like on a 1959 Moggy (Feb) The car does not have Trafficator/Semaphores but has factory fitted blanks to the pillars. I thought that they had red lenses with sidelight,brake light and indicator all in one and the indicator flashed red! The fronts are single white lens with a twin filament bulb.
Any ideas, photos or links?
:D

Is yours an export car or one assembled in another country as UK based cars still had semaphores fitted until late 1961, after that there was a special relay added to make the brake lights flash.
