Bowtie (all lit up!) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Maybe it was a one off , but I remember seeing a mid 70s truck with a grill bow tie emblem that was lit up with the parking lights.
Does anyone know of any now or ever that are lighted for or trucks?
Or ,was I lit up?????????????

ttt. Seriously, I did see it and would like one, I think it would be a time consuming adventyre to do a one off, I could but don't see the time in my tunnel of life right now . If they are out there I would be in the market. Or do I have an idea here for a business venture. ( HEY I thought of it first No stealing ideas!!!!!

)

Look at Stylin concepts website---I believe.

Yea I think stylin concepts has something like that.

Not quite exactly. Kinda like a back up light or sumthin. They have some solid billet ties though. Still looking.

you could probably make one, using the bowtie on your truck.

just drill a couple holes in the backside of the emblem, be careful to only drill through the backing, and not the blue plastic. insert a couple LED's into the holes you drilled, secure with hot glue, and hook them to a switch.

the blue prism should light up nicely. and this would only cost maybe $10

I know they use to sell them, they were called "Glow Ties" and they looked just like the stock gold emblem, but had a bunch of little holes all over it... not sure if they still have them, but im searching
