(Home) Running lights

My Town Ace is fitted with running lights / marker lights like many other Town Aces but my lights were disconected when the vehicle was shipped from Japan and the bulb holders were removed. I would like to reconect my lights (I have been told that they are legal by a Police Man) but I am unable to find any one who can provide me with bulb holders. They are smaller than the other bulb holders on my Town Ace. Does any one know where I could get some holders. Thanks.

IIRC all bulbs to the front are of the "standard" bayonet type apart from the headlights which are 55W halogens. Therefore you should be able to get something to fit from your local breaker. It's then a relatively straightforward job to re-wire them to the preferred combination. With mine, I have the standard sidelights that stay on (they used to flash with the indicators!?)and have wired the side indicator lights in with the forward facing lights behind the amber strip ie. wrap around indicators. The fogs I replaced with halogen on bayonet fittings.

On the townie, the outer amber lamps take a standard 21w bayonet, the inner ones are 5w push in. Breakers are best bet- toyota use the same holders as most other japs.
