Are there any demand for these? I found 2 today at a junkyard today. I bought one to put on my 69 stepside but might go back for the other and post it on ebay. I think I recall a discussion about these a few years ago but wondered if they are still worth anything.

Thanks

I have a factory installed light on my '91 Burb 4x4. Went 'junk yard diving and found several in the $5 - $10 range. Installed one on my '71 4x4, one on my '71 Chevelle SS, and on my '85 Impala work car. Bought another one to put on my son's '86 Monte Carlo LS. I like them even tho have not had the opportunity to really USE them.

I've got one, and its proved to be extremely useful. They are super bright, and extend long enough to see most anything you need to see in the engine compartment or under the truck

I guess I better re-word that... Early 90's.

I agree, thought it was cool so I'll add one to my stepside, maybe rescue the other and put on ebay.

I'd be interested if you got the extra one, let me know. Anyone got a pic? sounds like a cool gadget.
