UPDATE:

I have the Clear lenses and blue dots installed, have to wait for dark and take a few pics, looks good in daytime so far...have to see what the cops say about these????

picked it all up at Bob Drake reproductions as they are 30 min from me. was all in stock and $28.00 for all. and got a new catalog...free

I might have to paint the backs a different color as the zinc?/rust is partially visible in the direct sunlight any ideas on color? white,black,silver??

I'd go for silver or that "looks like chrome" paint to give better reflectivity..reflectivness..shiny, so the lites will be brighter.

Glack,

I hope these lights are redder than they appear in the pictures...else you may have some cops asking you about them. Years ago when I was living in Florida I used to get stopped on a regular basis running stock model A taillights with the yellow and red lenses on a 31 Plymouth coupe. I was never issued a ticket after I explained that the yellow lense was a stock item, but I was stopped none the less...strangely enough they didn't care about blue dots, but they sure didn't like having any yellow showing with taillights on...
