Looking for a tail light like this that will fit original fender

Hey all

Saw this beautiful bike on the American forum. I am getting a new rear fender soon, as there are massive rust holes in my own. Instead of the stock taillight, I am looking for something a little more discreet like this, but if possible will still fit without modding fender/drilling holes.

Does anyone know of anything nice I could go for?

Bryanj:
Looks a bit like a lucas lens on a home made bracket

Or you could do this -  some might call it vandalism but the lamp was cheap enough all LED's

I will post a photo of it on the rear mudguard later.

Here you go Alex, this is the same fitting. I installed on my Triton when I built it in 2000:

I changed the actual light fitting last year when I restored the bike. I swapped out the light fitting (but not the mounting) for a Motone custom LED rear light that looks exactly the same as the Lucas type but is obviously a lot brighter.
