14A9148

14A9148 with the pointed ends and black switch was fitted to Mk1 Mini to Oct 1964 and Elf/Hornet MK2 1965. Lamp body length is 13.6cm(5.35″) by 3.40cm(1.34″) body width and listed as an alternative to the 13H192 which had blunt ends instead.

13H4398 is the most popular version replacing 14A9148 fitted from Oct 1964 with courtesy light switches, plus all Mk2/3 to 1974 when the 13H8919 (EAM1650) was introduced and superseded it. Length 13.9cm(5.47″) body width 3.70cm(1.46″).Uses 17H9971 lamp cover.

13H192 Wingard version with cover

The 13H192 Wingard version with black sliding switch was listed as the alternative to 14A9148 which was eventually superseded by 13H4398 so we have no intentions of making 13H192 version with the black sliding switch. Many seem to have been fitted to post 1964 cars but might have been replacements

13H192 version made by Bellu originally of Milan, Italy. The same looking as Wingard UK less its cover.

EAM1650 oblong shape from October 1974 superseded 13H8919

The lamp was originally 13H8919 with a 37H5923 clear lens and replaced 13H192 and 13H4398 although a completely different shape. EAM1650 had the 24G3389 lens as shown above. 4.25″long and 1.75″ wide. Fitted from October 1974 until October 1984. This oblong lamp has the same screw hole locations as all of the early lamps which allows fitment of your choice and interchangeable. The lens 24G3389 however is only for this lamp although with modification it has been fitted to early lamps.
