bowtie lights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

shavedchevy · 11-22-2003, 02:57 PM

I just recently finished the back of my 86 chev buy welding the endgate shut, shaving the tail lamps, shaving the tailgate, and moulded in a roll pan with these bowtie lights built into it from chassis tech. But what they didn't tell me when I ordered them was that they didn't support all the operations that the factory tail lamps did. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to fix them, they only have one power and one ground wire. I only want to use these as my tail lights. Maybe I could drill a hole in the back for a small light just to support the running lights? Thanx

you could drill some holes and mount some round LED lights to use as blinkers and taillights... and the bowtie lights as brake lights.. or the bowtie lights as taillights and the LEDs as blinker and brake....

You could get that Line Of Fire led strip that mounts in the space under the tailgate. Saw it on one truck at night,very cool.

i thought of that two, but that was before I filled that piece in with a filler strip, for the smooth look.

You could mount it on the front of the bed under the window.
