MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

Check out how I modernized the turn signal lights on my 66. Notice they're all clear??? They fit perfect and look alot better than the stock unit. What do you guys think?

so how ya do it ?

Ok, I have never told anyone this before!! I took stock lower fog lights off of a 1999-2002 chevy truck and they fit right in our trucks. You just have to make a bracket (I did mine with scrap sheet metal) to hold them in. They slide in perfectly into the stock slots though!! You have to make the light bulb entrance just a hair bigger with a file.

cool, looks good...can't you buy those aftermarket (in clear) for our trucks?

also, curious about how you did your grille? looks nice

lilaroc13,
You can buy the "clear" lens for our trucks. But these turn signal lights that I have on my truck are "clear diamond" (like the new trucks). About my grill, I cut out the original fencing on the stock grill and bought a billet grill for a 80's chevy truck. I cut the billet grill to fit the stock 66 grill. It has the perfect contour! I also hid some blue fog lights behind the grill.

WoW looks good man what an idea too something you can get at your local yard, man i like it that's what its all about!:metal:

that grille lokks awsome good job

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

Looks neat. You could get a set of chrome-amber bulbs for that, and then it'd be even more clear when you aren't using the signals.

Cool man....good job !!

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

ahh, i gotcha...thanks for the info...both cool ideas

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

Thanks guys.

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

No BS I had the same idea planned for my 61. I had a 2001 Tahoe and even did a test fit. Nice job!

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

Looks nice! Great idea...I'm digging the custom touch to the grille too! How'd you do it?

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

That looks like the hood I was going to buy!!!! LOL

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

Just a few more tweaks, and your truck will be completely modernized.

Jchav62,
Read the thread, I explained how I did it. Also, check out the front bumper, I cut some holes to put in some fog lights. But I am having trouble posting them. How do you attach pics in here? I took pics but it keeps failing to load. The size might be too big. ???

Excellent modifications... Grille is awesome!

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

I took a chance cutting the original grill insert, but I think the billet looks cool!

Re: MODERNIZED Turn Signal Lights
 

Hey, I have a '00 Silverado! Oh no, I have to have my fog lights...it would look bare without them!!:lol::lol:
