you can try the FK Automotive web sight, They sell LED rear lights as do Amazon, there's is the same, in fact are the FK lights. Only the tail and brake lights are LED. Indicator is normal bulb, although you can fit LED bulbs but most require load resistors. Fog and reverse are normal bulb as well. I think around the £180 mark.

The trouble with LED rear lights is when you used to have a cheap fix when the bulb went, when my rear light warning came up it cost me £90 as I had to replace the complete rear light

If any one can advise what type bulbs I would need

Thanks in advance lee

Dooh, didn't think of that Horizon, best I don't sell my old lights. Of course if I keep them my LEDs will work for ever. It's called "sods law"

Top ones are reverse, second lot are indicator. Although they say "error free" they weren't in mine, had to fit load resistors. Do like them though. However to tell the full story, If your ign is on, engine running or not they will flicker. I have DRLs and run with side and angle eyes on all the time so flickering isn't an issue. If you don't run like that then it may be something to think about before you buy and fit.
