I mailed them about it a few days back (also about their light lenses, not just the light pod) - but these are made in the exact same numbers as the bodies, and none of them (body, light lenses or light pod) are sold seperately. You could buy the whole bodyset though and dump the rest in the TC traderoom or on ebay :)

Then you also have the Lancia 037 which uses a Light pod (hard plastic one, not lexan like the ABC Hobby one), but these parts trees are pretty wanted and may cost as much as an ABC Hobby Bodyset :)

Therefor, I'd make a selection on the two looking at what car you want to mount it to. Square(-ish) front > Tamiya Lancia 037 Light Pod - Round Front > ABC Hobby Lancer EVO III Light Pod.

If you would accept ones that don't have the cover on them, but just lights, you could look if the plastic parts of the Carson Audi Quattro bodyshell are seperately available. This will include the lights, but also windscreen wipers and mirrors - but not shown on this picture.

Then there also are the Lights from the Mini Cooper Monte Carlo.

And lastly, you could make one yourself from some Lights (usually on the rollbar) from a 3-speed, scaler or crawler ;)

Thanks for the info.

Ordered an ABC Mitsubishi body set (they don't come with the LED's anymore), but as mentioned they don't sell them as a seperate part.

I also have the Controlfreax RS200 body set already - the light pod is modled in one piece with the body.

Redzone - if you do repop the ABC pods i would be interested in buying a couple.

thanks Gareth
