Crystalight front lights

Hi, I've posted this question in my build thread... but seems I'm not getting to electric connaisseurs

Question: The ariel Atom has a set of front lights (parking light/daytimerunninglight) mounted separate (on a stalk with indicators)... see the picture,
These look as if they are crystallight...
But I can only find crystalight reversing lights...would that beam be too diffuse/bright to pass as front lights ?
Or are they a different make?

As far as i can tell the 2 lights at the front are indicator and side light. The headlights are set back near to the scuttle.

I think newer models have projector lights along the front.

If by front light you mean side light then there is no dfifusing or beam pattern requirements, providing they perform as would be expected then reverse ones will be fine for sides.

They may be too bright. Reverse lights tend to have 21w bulbs but side lights are usually 5w. You could swap bulbs though.
