Quick update - I was in the process of setting up email notification on eBay for the front marker lights. Great feature, you set up your search, then turn on email alerts. eBay checks every day and emails you if your search gets a match.

Anyway, I was testing my search, and I got a hit for a complete, used marker assembly. The pictures show it to be in good shape, and I got another hit for a marker housing. My lenses are in terrific shape, so I will be able to piece together two complete front marker lights from the remnants of my markers, plus the bits I found on eBay. Free shipping, too.

If you ever are looking for a difficult to find part, I recommend the eBay auto notification feature. I have used it before with good results. On my Triumph TR8 I was looking for some NLA parts, and after my search ran for several weeks an email showed up and there were my missing parts.

The trick is getting the right search. In the case of my JH, the search was:

front +(marker, turn) +(TVR, Aston Martin, Jensen Healey) -(bulb, bulbs, marina, side)

The minus sign means exclude listings with any of these keywords, the plus sign means that a listing must have at least one of the keywords.

Give it a try next time you need some bit or bob. Be sure to toggle the "worldwide" feature, so if they turn up in the UK, you will still see them.
