Default 2x problems hope people will know

firstly number 1 problem, im trying to get hold of a set of morrette rear lights for a bugeye DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SET FOR SALE OR KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THEM FROM.
Number 2, recently whenever i give my bugeye full throttle it feels like the boost cutting out and coming back on at low speed its ok but high speed i end up getting whiplash lol iv bought a snapon diagnostic machine and it keeps on coming up with the same error (boost control solenoid valve - malfunction) im thinking that it MAY be overboosting has antbody else had this problem .

Why? What's wrong with the original ones?

Yep, hit the nail on the head, most likely it's overboosting and hitting the fuel cut. Usually down to the boost solenoid not working properly. It may be completely knackered in which case you'll need a new one. However they can get fouled up with dirt and this can be cured by giving it a good clean out with brake/carb cleaner.
