i use lucas 7 inch sealed ones. these fit fine. Not the brightest, but not a problem when you've got spots anyway.

will be converting to twin 90mm hellas in the near future though ala smart car roadster......

It had a full set of Cibies on when I got it, unfortunately they were all scrap. Where are you getting the Hellas from David?

Thats the problem with those Cibies. they're steel backed.....so consequently rust out from behind. Mine did the same and I was very disappointed about their longevity. hence why i'd rather have sealed Lucas ones with less beam but cost little to buy.

The 90mm hellas are available form SVC. Some people dont like to go there because they say they are dear, however I found them to be polite and prices seem ok to me.
Heres a link to the lights.

Alans bought some of these too I think.\

Check out the rears:

In particular if you make a mould off the cavalier lights its possible to make up a very fancy rear light cluster using these:
