Re: Taillight lenses blue crystal???
It was an old "fad" I believe is it molded into the lens. It is blue glass.

They are illegal in some states, so you might check before you install them.

Re: Taillight lenses blue crystal???
I have them on my '71. You can run them but you need the stock ones to pass inspection.

My favorite is if you read the package it says "For Off-Road Use Only"

Re: Taillight lenses blue crystal???
the glass ones will make the brake lights and turn signals glow in a purple-ish hue. Plastic ones not so much. The smaller the lamp assembly, the more purple the light shows through.
They are illegal in most states, and I will bet a kick in the daddy parts they are illegal in Cali. |

Re: Taillight lenses blue crystal???
They used to be called "bulls eye" taillights. And where real popular with the 49 and 50 Fords. So, Yep, they've been around for a long time.
