Are the rear side marker lights suppost to blink with the turn signals and hazard lights on a '72?

jhow66 · 05-17-2005, 12:44 PM

no

bouncytruck · 05-17-2005, 12:56 PM

Thanks. I was worried that I might have screwed up my wiring when I removed the trailer break setup.

Mine do.............

blazerparts · 05-17-2005, 01:18 PM

uhhhhhh, wait........not the rears, just the fronts

*Medicanman71* · 05-17-2005, 01:42 PM

I have sho-me LED lights in my grill, they're sick, -just like the cops- heh heh. I put them on this AM when i was doing trash (live on a 50mph road) and when i made this post i remembered that i left them on, good thing they take like no power at all to run. Anyways, what are the side marker lights you can use to replace ours , the ones that make them flush with the truck, those are off the block, thur off a car or our gen. correct?

sounds like it may be a bad ground backfeeding through the turnsignals . just my two cents

bouncytruck · 05-17-2005, 02:02 PM

So, is it stock that the rear side markers don't flash, or should they flash? They come on with the lights, just don't flash with the turn signals or hazards.

Medicanman71 - I believe the side marker lights you are looking for are off the vans.

*Medicanman71* · 05-17-2005, 02:47 PM

it just came to me, will the 77-81 trans am ones work, has anyone tried?

The rear ones are strickly running lights. If your turn signals are working you might have a ground problem and not a connection problem it is back feeding through the the running lights

teamharvey · 05-18-2005, 12:36 AM

Fronts should blink with the turn signals, rears are just running lights.

Yes, that's exactly what I put on mine. It takes a little modification but I like the way they sit flush.

Lets see some picks of the trans am installed

Longhorn Man · 05-18-2005, 10:43 PM

On the side markers, not all of them in the front blink. I did a poll on this and there is no rhyme nor reason as to what does and what does not blink.
The rear markers should not blink.

Putter · 05-19-2005, 09:56 AM

Medicanman,
The flush ones you are talking about are from a Chevy van. I got mine off of an 80's-90's van. They are almost flush with the body. I had to sell mine when I went to a marker-light filler for my rear tank. I couldn't get grip on it to open the thing.

mocwon · 05-22-2005, 06:46 PM

medicineman/kelsfine69,

Here's what the Firechicken side marker light looks like installed. I haven't painted the metal bezels yet, they will be the color of the truck.....

Longhorn Man · 05-22-2005, 08:15 PM

mocwon... do you have any pics of that in day light, or real good lighting? Is it a burgandy-ish, ir straight up red.

I think that may be the color I have always pictured in my head...and if it is...it's friggen sweet!

No, it's closer to the first picture, a pearl bronze almost identical to a 2005 Corvette color. My camera makes it looks reddish inside.

bummer. Thanks though.
