Hi,

I have a 1993 Compass Echo and on this model the front marker lights are mounted in a recess that runs around the caravan.  This means the lights cannot be more than 1.5 inches wide in order to fit into the recess.  I am having problems sourcing new lights.  Has anyone had a similar problem which they have managed to resolve?

Yes I have tried ebay but cannot find anything narrow enough.  I have left a message with an ebay dealer but so far no reply.

Try Leisureshopdirect.com, take a photo if possible and email them, even if they do not stock the item you are after but can obtain it they will, they are very helpful and have ordered non stock items for me in the past.

Many many thanks - I have now sourced the lamps.  The most suitable were Britax 881 & 882.
