Have a look on the German eBay www.ebay.de
That's a good place to buy 206 lights.

#6: Re: smoked rear lights Author: doughboy5, Location: devon(weekends) nr cambridge(in the week)Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2011 3:19 am ---- oh right cool it was just some on ebay said bulb holders not included so wasnt sure.
#7: Re: smoked rear lights Author: doughboy5, Location: devon(weekends) nr cambridge(in the week)Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2011 3:22 am ---- and also would 206 cc lights fit or not are they a different shape?
#8: Re: smoked rear lights Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Sat Apr 16, 2011 3:54 am ---- think they do fit but have a piece cut shorter than the regular 206 ones which is to stop water from getting in so would not recommend putting them on
