Description
Our Caterham 7 LED Rear Light Cluster (MKII) replaces the original rear light cluster as supplied by Caterham Cars with an uprated LED version of the same style cluster.
Our Caterham 7 LED Rear Light Cluster consists of 72 ultra bright, wide angle LED’s. 36 on each side for stop/tail and indicator functions. The LED panel is a high quality bespoke design for any car using this rear light cluster.
All wires and connectors are supplied and fitted so this is a ‘straight swap’ with your current light cluster. No drilling holes or other modifications to your car are needed. You can retain the classic Caterham 7 look, with an E marked lens but with high performance OSRAM LED lights inside.
LED Safety
LED brake lights are proven to reduce the reaction time of a driver in a following vehicle and considerably reduce their stopping distance.
A difference in reaction time of just 0.2 seconds at 75 mph translates into 21 feet extra braking distance for the cars behind. This can literally be the difference between life and death.
This is a 5 minute upgrade and is easily one of the best safety modifications for your Caterham 7.
Please note the following:
- You will need to upgrade your flasher relay to an LED type (see our LED relay below).
- The LED’s are coloured red/amber and will work perfectly with both the standard and clear lens.
- This upgrade can be used with any type of rear block i.e. carbon fibre, metal etc. Simply replace the rubber block supplied with your block.

- Long Lasting – LED’s last between 10,000 – 50,000 hours!

Wow you can actually see my Caterham brake lights during the day now! I still don’t understand why you can spend £45k on a car & for Caterham to think that’s ok to fit 1970’s lights, these JAL units are great, the bulbs fill the whole unit & the clarity is great, fitting was really easy with the complete unit. I’m running mine with clear lenses & they are really good, these should be standard issue on all new Caterham’s & an upgrade essential for all owners, if you’ve ever followed a Caterham with standard lights you’ll understand why you need these!

These lights are brilliant, so much brighter than the original set and make me feel a lot safer on the road. Fitting them to my ’98 k-series roadsport was a bit more difficult than anticipated as the connection didn’t align with that fitted to my particular 7. A bit of soldering later and all working perfectly though!

Considerably brighter than original lights, I now feel a lot safer that people can actually see my car from behind. Brilliant!
As you can see in my video the JAL lights on left flash brighter and are visible for longer which is great.
Also, they have lasted for two years with no problems and retain the original look of the car. With A race car you often have to sit for a while using the brake pedal, as the hand brake is tapped over, and the old bulbs would melt the red reflectors. As the LEDs in JAL lights are cold I now don’t get this problem.

Standard Caterham seven rear lights did not fill me with confidence, that I would be seen when braking in day light or at night. On seeing the J. A.

I would like to mention the customer service that comes with the J.A.L. product is excellent.

Impressive product quality and very straightforward to fit as it plugs into the existing econoseal connectors. I thought that maybe the self-tappers would be too short (the LED plate and washers take up a bit of extra space) but it all tightened up ok. Huge difference in illumination (see photos for tail and stop lights). An excellent upgrade.

Thanks Doug, These units are obviously made to a very high standard and fit very easily. The relay corrects the otherwise over fast flasher. I did find that with the added thickness of the washers and the printed circuit board some screws (upper) were too short to secure the light unit to the wing. Great product, thank you.

As I drive my Seven a lot throughout the winter and in all weathers through the summer I felt I needed to upgrade my lights and will be replacing the rest of the rear lights soon ( well probably this wednesday actually as I already ordered the fog and number plate led replacements!) Thank you for the quick delivery as well!

These are like strapping photo cannons on the back of the 7! Next to the asthmatic fireflies in the stock lamps these beasts are bright and punchy even in daylight. After fitting these got loads of positive comments from other 7 owners and most importantly I feel other road users respond better to my signalling.

I originally bought the rear set up as they are so much better than standard and I would do anything to let people know I am there…visually great. I would like to see the impending high level light to go with the set up. I have also added the front main indicators based on the original quality and brightness of the rear. Big thumbs up .

Having just bought my first caterham I was directed to JAL for a light upgrade as a first upgrade. I wasn’t disappointed! The JAL lights were so easy to fit even for a ham fisted buffoon like me! The difference between the standard lights and the JALs is night and day (pardon the pun). Bright, clear and look the part. I can not recommend these as your first (or any) upgrade. Well worth every penny.

I decided to change my rear lights after I followed a friend of mine that has the same R300 : I could just not see when he was braking and decided for safety reasons to make the invest. What can I say? Friendly service, rapidly delivered from the UK to France, well packed. The lights were easy to put, even if I asked my mechanic to do it during the winter maintenance. I just did not anticipate je would have to change the flasher relay to make it work properly. I am fully satisfied with the result: I can see a major change in the lights when brakes are activated. I will add pictures to show with no lights on, rear lights and brakes lights to show that despite the very sunny day, we can see a difference. Thanks JAL !

If you are a 7 owner then this is probably the most important safety upgrade you will ever undertake and also one of the easiest. It took me 30 mins and I don’t consider myself in anyway accomplished at this sort of things.
Initially you might think these are expensive but when you consider the added safety provided by these lights they are a great investment.
Michael Walsh –
Rating for LED lights? Give them a 5+
I recently purchased a pair of rear light clusters for my 7. All I can say is that the result is "Brilliant" in every sense of the word. I almost feel sorry for anyone driving behind me, but at least "I didn’t see you" is unlikely to be heard.
If only dealing with other companies were as pleasant.
PS You seem to be the only LED supplier that has realized that the average customer can’t use a soldering iron, hasn’t got a crimp tool, can’t understand the wiring diagram (which doesn’t correspond to the model of car that he owns) and would rather spend his free time driving the car anyway.
Keep up the good work.
Eric Downer –
Very easy and straight forward to fit. These units provide a major improvement to the rear light performance, are very well engineered and look brilliant – (couldn’t resist the pun).
Mark Watkinson –
What a difference these lights make. So, so pleased with them. And I feel so much safer when out in the car. Thanks for developing these, I no longer hold my breath wondering if the numpty behind had seen my brake lights. Amazing product.
Neal Evans –
Quality product which is a direct replacement for the original units. Built using the same base and lenses but the traditional bulbs have been replaced by a high quality LED board meaning fitting is straightforward and instructions are supplied if needed. There is a strong likelihood you will need a new flasher relay for the indicators to flash at the correct speed but this can be ordered with the units. 15 minutes should be the average fitting time and you shall benefit from being seen by the motorists behind you!
Low Flying –
The difference really is chalk and cheese, the LED lights are just so much brighter…when you touch the brake pedal the difference is immediate and highly visible.
Yahoo Motoring –
After coming down and installing the new versions, the difference was immediately noticeable – especially now the nights are starting to draw in.

Everything exactly as advertised – easy to fit, lovely and bright – small experiment with relays (handled promptly and professionally by Doug – next day solution!) to sort the indicator speed, very pleased with this "safety upgrade".

A massive improvement over the standard units and very straightforward to change over. Just Add Lightness were good to deal with – very communicative and my order was delivered very quickly.
James Lark –
I ordered this product as I felt the existing lights just weren’t bright enough. I managed to fit them just before a rain drenched weekend in France and was I glad I fitted them as It gave me greater confidence that I would be seen. Very quick response to the pedal and fantastic brightness. Fitting was easy but I had to use bolts for the top mounting holes as the existing screws were not long enough to get a good fix. However, swapped the top screws with the bottom ones and some M5 bolts in the top and all sorted. Overall, took no longer than 45 minutes to do both sides including the relay change. Really pleased with the product and will be looking to upgrade other bits in due course. Thoroughly recommended.
Steve Nelson (verified owner) –
Great service-received the package 6 days after I ordered it from the UK to the US. Taillights are bright and easy to install! Just to repeat what a couple other reviews said-it is easier if you remove the rear wheels so you can reach around inside while installing the lights. Then you can get your hand next to the fuel tank and push the connector and the grommet out. Also make sure you have a relay flasher that is made for LEDs so you are clicking at the right speed. It is a joy to know I won’t have to replace bulbs again and drivers behind WILL see me.

The self tapping bolts provided to secure the unit to the wing could do with being just a little bit longer. I have had to fit my units without the washers on the front face to make sure I have a good hold in the wing.

Excellent light produced from the replacement cluster. Plug and play, although the spacing block required several attempts to get it to sit flush with the rear wing. Maybe it was me

Fantastic lights! Other cars can now see my brake lights clearly during the day
John Cannon (verified owner) –
I had tried LED replacement lamps and was initially pleased with the improvements but I found after a while the lamps were sagging in the lamp holder and were missing the reflector probably due to the Caterham’s firm ride and the weight/length of the LED lamp. This is what led me to change to JAL LED’s, I was very impressed with the quality you can see they are made very well, You get a block of light rather than just the middle of the lens . I feel a lot happier now maximising the availability of lens and retaining the Seven look. I also changed the Fog and the Reversing light hopefully with less load the battery will last longer !
Nick Wakefield –
Easy to fit and a marked improvement on the originals
John Cockburn –
The LED rear light cluster is a must for every Cateham owner, they are very bright, a direct replacement and easy to fit. My only concern is the original fixing screws seem too short so I have replaced them with stainless nuts/bolts making sure not to over tighten them. Great product
Paul Lyrick –
I have to date replaced my Severn’s rear light clusters, front indicators and fog lamp with the LED solutions from Just Add Lightness. I am absolutely delighted not just with the vast improvement in luminosity but the fabulous customer service I have received along the way. I would highly recommend these lights as well as engaging with this company for a great service to boot!
Jeremy Brown –
Nicely designed and built LED panels. Installation is easy although be aware that you need longer length screws and as I had fitted stainless ones, some of mine were too short and needed replacing.
Once fitted, they do look good and work well with a more even and crisper light.
Rob Oldland –
Hi Doug,
I hope you don’t tire of hearing praise for your products and service? Because here’s another!
I have fitted my LED rear lights and new relay, worth every penny. My last Caterham was written off (as featured recently in LowFlying) when a car hit me from behind in light mist conditions. I just wonder if this product would have saved my last car?!
Anyway, I look forward to continuing the LED upgrades during the year.
Thanks again and best wishes for 2018.
Rob.
Len Elkington –
Good quality units and relatively easy to fit; to fit the n/s one I had to remove the boot floor (no big deal) as Caterham hadn’t left any slack in the wiring loam for me to remove the plug via the wheel arch. The o/s one needed a little bit of manipulation to get all the screws in as the curvature didn’t quite match that of the wheel arch. Again no big deal.
Tim Carter –
I had a few "issues" but support (Doug) was wonderful at dealing with, what turned out to be, my incompetence! I fitted light clusters to the rear and new flasher lights to the front of my 7 and now feel more confident about my visibility. Of course, only time will tell! Given my experience, I would recommend you order with the confidence on good customer support. Tim
Thomas Meacham –
Package arrived in Alaska USA safely. I have not yet installed the lights.
John Wilson –
A top quality product. One of the two units required only minor trimming of a small excess of rubber from the moulding process. The holes matched up perfectly with the existing holes in the rear wings. Some owners may find access to the wiring connector easier after removing the rear wheel. The lights are much brighter than the original outdated filament type and will add greatly to visibility of the car from behind. This is bound to be a very popular replacement for Caterham 7 owners. Well done Doug.
Paul Bennett –
Significant enhancement to rear illumination which is an essential on a Caterham 7. Delay in manufacture of components meant a slightly prolonged delivery schedule but worth the wait as this appears to be a quality product.
Only issue was with getting to the connector behind the wheel arch on the offside which proved a little tricky but that’s nothing to do with the product and more about the ‘joy’ of owning a Caterham.
Stephen Long –
Really excited about these lights. They look fabulous and will give me a feeling of security when travelling at night and in poor light conditions. Also brings the car up to date.
David Greening –
The lights were of excellent quality and were very easy to fit.Significantly brighter than the original units.
Richard Frost –
Just got round to fitting these. Great result. Did one side at a time to check the difference, stunning.
Alastair Westle –
The quality of the rear light clusters is very good indeed. The only criticism it that the side light brightness is a little too bright meaning not much difference when brakes applied.
I don’t feel that the price reflects good value for money at all. The justification for my opinion is that the product includes the rubber mounts and lenses that every car owner already has. In this day and age we should be recycling not creating unnecessary waste.
Garry Talbot –
A superb safety feature, easy to fit and a night and day change to the light output.
JONATHAN DENNIS –
What an incredible transformation !!! The new LED lights are so much brighter and clearer. No longer will I have to look back in my mirrors and worry of the car behind has seen me stopping or not !!
