Locost Lights?

So im sitting in traffic on the A27 at lewes and i saw a lorry coming the other way which looked a bit like this: (sorry i dont know how to make the link smaller)

and i thought, has anyone put lights like that on a locost.
They look like a good idea to me because they incorporate indicator, headlight, sidelight and main beam all in one unit
Also does anyone know where i can get some if i decide to use them?

They are also bloody huge.

If you look in my archive I have used 5.75" halogen lights with a sidelight built in. Then seperate indicators on the nose. Fairly bog std, but you will see that even that size light looks large on a seven.

Some have used similar sorts of lights from a JCB. Personally I think they look bloody stupid.

I went for the same as flak monkey, 5 3/4 inch lights with indicators on the nose cone.
