Chevy 3100 Bed hole led lights

Hey guys,

Does anybody know the best place to buy the led lights that go in the holes either side of the tailgate. I have seen them on a few trucks but cannot find them for sale.

They are for my 1953 Chevy 3100

Thanks

Re: Chevy 3100 Bed hole led lights

if you want LED, your paying the price...

Link to LED bed hole lights at ClassicParts.com

they are $125!!! but you asked for 'em...


These ones are RED for tail light/turn signal... they also have white to use as backup lights!

Hi,
Unfortunately as I'm In the UK I need amber rear indicators so this is the neatest and easiest solution I can think of.

Thanks for the info guys.

Re: Chevy 3100 Bed hole led lights

I am going to make a set using these. It would pretty easy to make a socket to recess them and use a stainless button head screw to hold them.

The clear ones would make good interior lights or licence plate lights recessed in a roll pan

These are one of the first ones from RB's and not LED but they work fine until you need a new bulb !!!

I saw your post on the Rod 'n' Sods, I used the amber ones in my '50 from

http://www.pros-pick.com/hotlitez.html, as I said they're not cheap but bright and very noticeable.

Here's the pic again. http://www.flickr.com/photos/2601498...57606265799089
