Old School
Anyone using or heard of anyone using the purple dot in their tail lights like they did back in the 50's and 60's on their '73-'79's? I thought about using them on my '74 but did'nt know what they would look like.

I have them in my taillights on my '78....they look good. If you look closely at your tallight there is a raised rectangle in the middle of the lens and I put them there.....I put a little silicone around them too when I installed it to keep water out.

You know Ben, I'm not sure if they're legal here in Colo., but lots of folks do run them. I haven't seen them at the regular parts stores lately, but I think a lot of the Harley shops still have them. And I think (not sure) that they're still in JC Whit. Think I'm gonna' have to do some searchin' now!

this is what they were talking about - Search Results
I could have sworn they had just the dots themselves, but I'm not sure now. You can do a little more searching here. Speedway Motors - Street Rod Parts, Race Parts, Ford Flathead Parts, Sprint and Midget Racing Parts, Pedal Car Parts
If speedway doesn't have them then another hot rod supplier should.

Seems like this would not be road legal like ground affect lights people install now days. Can you buy after market DOT lenses with it pre installed?

Probably not. You really only see them on 50's and earlier cars and I'm sure those are grandfathered into the law or something.
