[Healeys] lenses

[Michael MacLean]

Ira,
     I have no idea, but you can leave an inquiry on the web site.  The
LED bulbs are supposed to be direct replacements for 1157 and 1156 bulbs. I
also asked them how to mount the flasher since it is just an epoxy cylinder
containing the electronics with no visible mounting tab on it.  Jim Thompson
of Litezupp replied with this: 

Mike,
We are currently potting 
the flashers
in a rubber mold using a heat conductive epoxy.  If you 
have an old flasher,
I can probably use the can, fill it with epoxy, 
then I will be moisture
resistant and look close to the original 
flasher.

     So, Ira, if you send
him an old Lucas flasher unit, he will make it look like a Lucas unit, but
with modern solid state electronics inside.  You can retain the original
look.  Now, does anyone have an old Lucas flasher unit that does not work
anymore?  I want to put one in my BN2 along with Litezupp LED bulbs!
