who is the one with the taillight kit?

[johnd]

Thanks,

JOHN, eckler's or mid-america sells the complete kit. you'll lose your back-up lights. see pic of bossvette's car he has extra lights for back-up

LIGHTS

Those lights are the bubble len's.
If you light that look, go for it.
If not, rig yours to work. All you need is the two outer cavity's,
and two new flat len's

What if...

I were to do the swap and lose me rear taillights and I fabed in some rear backup light holes and installed some backup lights from something else that would work and would be original...

John
the kit comes with instructions, basically you wire the inners in parrellel to the outers and eliminate the backups, I used a small "fog" light for my back-ups but you may want to check local laws if you live in one of the more "civilized":duh states:L

sounds goood , I am thinking that I am gonna get a back up light outta a cadillac or somthing and sink it into the bumper. Make it a custom look I have never seen anyone with that before could be cool.

BOSSVETTE: Hey if those lenses are in good shape I will write you a check tonight just let me know where and how much.

I would have swore that there was a member on this site that sold just the wiring and a diagram I know I have seen it I just don't wanna spend 75 bucks just to get wiring I would like to keep the stock looking lenses...
