Hello Guys, I'm after a tail lamp unit for my build - I had been watching one on the Fleabay but that's been sold. Anyone got a lamp laying around that they perhaps don't need?
Cheers

In my search for a tail lamp I have noticed that VN900 lamps are very similar if not the same (perhaps they are the same?) The KAWA part numbers are different but looking very closely at pictures of both a Meanie and a VN900 lamp the plastic moulded base unit shows the exact same manufacturer's number. Does anyone here have both a Meanie and a VN900 that they could compare lamps on for me? I've found a VN900 lamp in good condition for a good price but don't want to buy it if there's a major difference - I can't see any difference in the pictures I've been comparing and I looked as closely as possible. Thanks in advance for help Cheers

It sure seems like I have read that somewhere but not positive.
The tail light lens is the same part number and I would almost bet the housings are the same. The part numbers are different on the housings but any difference, no matter how small, will change the part number. Probably the only difference is the pigtail connector that plugs into the electrical harness is somehow different, therefore changing the part number.
Your call though, it's a roll of the dice.

Thanks Texas, you're right on the part numbers (I checked with a couple of online parts sites) but the actual manufacturer number moulded into the housing is the same on both VN900 and MS lamps (220 40178). I'm not worried by the possible pigtail difference, I can get round wiring difficulties without much trouble. I think I'll give it a go and see if it fits. I'll report back as this might be useful info for others. Cheers
