fv1609 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Are you sure that it is actually 518? As I have 518 listed as a Lamp, Stop Tail & would have expected it to have red lens. My reference is RAF MT Electrical Equipment Section 16E 1954. Unlike a VAOS the RAF lists the applications & the only one is Land Rover.

NickAbbott Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I have those, in red, fitted to my land rover - I had to replace one as it had faded quite considerably, and the MoT man didn't like it, as it was more orange than red. The one you have there, it hasn't faded really badly has it - doesn't really look like it, but I've only ever seen them in red as well!
