I suspect your vehicle may have originally had a rubber bodied version of these metal lights. I thought I had a photo somewhere, but not found it yet. Don't know how well the rubber would have survived over the years. Sure you could fashion something very similar, but I agree with GT, if not hugely concerned about originality make the lights more visible. I'm gonna use the original (and pitifully small) style. In addition, I am stealing an idea from a fellow MLU chappy and thinking about adding a rotating warning light that can be removed once arrived at whatever event it's travelling to.
