Re: Forget if they’re rare - how cool are these

You can still buy "blue dots", Speedway sells them for $5 a pair, just drill out your lens and install, pretty simple. But, yeah, some cops don't like them. I used to run them in my '34 Ford pickup. Had one cop who would stop me for any reason he could think of, and I had to resort to putting black electrical tape over them at times. I think he was jealous that an early 20's kid had such a truck in the 90's. I had glass lenses which allowed me to run halogen fog light bulbs as brake lights so they were super bright, and as long as the bulb is centered in the middle of the blue dot, the brakes would look purple, the further away you were from them the better they looked!

What about the white bow tie at the bottom. I haven’t seen those either.

The bowtie almost looks like it's painted from the inside. Notice they are both a little different than each other (size). what does the inside look like?
