Re: Tailight ideas?

What's the outside diameter of those taillight lenses? What year vehicle are they out of... wanted to do the same thing with a set of amber ones for my signal lights!

Cheers,
Ted.

Re: Tailight ideas?

I was looking on ebay at motorcycle stoplights and found several good items.

Re: Tailight ideas?

be careful about ordering the 37 ford lights online. Im going to use them as well. One of the lights has a clear lens ontop of the housing. That light was used as a license plate light and is only one housing. Im ordering seperate ones with no clear lens. just an FYI.
