Choose Your Sprite Side/Flasher Lamp

If your Sprite’s front lamps are cracked, faded, corroded or missing, now is the time to sort them while stock is available. These side/flasher lamp assemblies restore the front side light and indicator function on Austin Healey Sprite MK2, MK3 and MK4 models.

Order the side you need, or replace both sides if the front end deserves a balanced finish. It usually does, even if your wallet mutters something rude from the glovebox.

Why Replace the Whole Lamp Assembly?

A tired Sprite lamp often has more than one problem hiding behind the lens. Alongside cracking or fading, decades of weather and use can leave corrosion, poor contacts, weak earth connections and previous repairs of varying optimism.

A complete replacement assembly gives you a clean starting point rather than rebuilding a lamp whose body and electrical components are already showing their age.

  • Replaces cracked, faded or incomplete lamp units
  • Helps restore dependable side light and indicator operation
  • Improves the appearance of the front end without changing the character of the car
  • Suitable for restoration, repair and regular road use

Replaceable Parts for Sprite Side/Flasher Lamps

If the lamp body, contacts or wiring are also showing their age, a complete assembly is usually the more straightforward choice. It gives you a cleaner starting point and avoids rebuilding a tired unit piece by piece.

Please note: bulbs are not included with the complete side/flasher lamp assemblies. If your existing bulbs are still working, they may be reused, but replacement bulbs should be ordered separately if needed.

For owners who prefer to repair what they already have, the parts below are the main replaceable elements used in the right-hand and left-hand side/flasher lamp units. Sensible, cautious, and just a little bit “I might be able to save that”. We know the type. We are the type.

Before You Fit Them

Fitting is usually straightforward, but older wiring can turn a quick job into a head-scratcher if you do not check the basics first.

  • Check wiring condition before connecting the new lamp
  • Clean or renew poor earth connections
  • Confirm bulb type before fitting
  • Do not overtighten the lamp fixings
  • Check alignment on cars with repaired or replacement front wings

Do those checks once and you are less likely to spend the evening blaming the new lamp for an old wiring fault. We have all been there. Some of us have even admitted it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are bulbs included with the complete lamp assemblies?
No. Bulbs are not included with the complete side/flasher lamp assemblies. Existing working bulbs can be reused, or replacement bulbs can be ordered separately if required.
Can these lamps be fitted to cars with repaired or replacement front wings?
Yes, but alignment should be checked carefully where front wings have been repaired, replaced or modified. Minor adjustment may be needed to ensure the lamp sits correctly.
Should I replace both sides at the same time?
You can replace only the damaged side, but fitting both sides can give a cleaner and more even appearance across the front of the car, especially if the existing lamp assemblies are faded or mismatched.
Which side do I need, right-hand or left-hand?
XLTG142 is the right-hand side/flasher lamp. XLTG143 is the left-hand side/flasher lamp. Check the side required before ordering, especially if only one original lamp is being replaced.
Why replace the whole lamp assembly rather than just the lens?
If the original unit is cracked, corroded, incomplete or suffering from poor internal contacts, replacing the full assembly is often more reliable than trying to revive a tired lamp piece by piece.
Will I need to modify the wiring?
No wiring modifications are normally required on standard Sprite MK2-MK4 wiring systems, but it is sensible to check the condition of the loom, earth connections and bulb holder while fitting.
Will these side/flasher lamps fit a Frogeye Sprite?
No. These lamps are for Austin Healey Sprite MK2, MK3 and MK4 models. Frogeye Sprite models use a different lamp design and mounting arrangement.
