Stoplights mod

1
A mod I've always wanted to do to the abysmal rear stoplights  ... now done.

By way of comparison, offside shows bog standard single bulb stoplight.
Onside is my dual bulb stoplights mod, this more than doubles lumens.

Ken,

Is that just a bulb replacement or is there more to it?

This thread describes how to do it. You use the fog light portion of the taillight. Greg E

Are you going to tell everyone what this involves or do we have to pay for the information?

Thanks for that.  It looks like a useful modification.

Greg,
Thanks for the URL.
The pictures are very graphic.

If my taillight units are exactly the same, it should be a straight forward thing to do.
Looks like the only things you need are:
the brass shim,
a short length of wire,
sheet metal snips and a soldering iron.

I'll probably do both cars.
A very beneficial modification, and no ramifications such as overloading the power supply.

Peter

Yeah that's food for thought.

Gerry,

You can only view inserted pictures and attachments via the ‘Individual Emails’ setting; they cannot be viewed direct from the group website.  It was possible some years ago but Yahoo changed it.

Thanks, Les.
