Lookin good, glad you got the wiring figured out. It's driving me crazy to know how you finally wired it up. With my suggestion on the other thread you might have had the head light blinking.
dennis, i got them from a yankee, i told him they were pinto tail lights and they were not worth anything. so he gave them to me... what a looser... ...frank... p.s. dennis, thanks for the tail lights .
cool...I figured he would have to run a dedicated line one way or the other...geez I wonder who he gotem from...hmmmm
Nice mod, looks really good. So let me in on the secret, how'd you wire them up? You need at least one extra light per side with those lenses right?
Frank put something together with a bulb out!!!!!NoNONONONO. ..I will bet if the lenses could be taken apart they are chrome painted inside(xtra reflection), xtra bright bulbs and the lenses were polished with toothpaste and an oral b toothbrush then put on square, plum and level As always there Mr Frank lookin good (even if you didn't invite me to the car show)
kelly, as far as the car show goes, you were taking your "sweetie" to the fair. i know a car show can not compete with that. as for the lights, there are two 2057s for running/brake light. the amber bulb that is in the back up light for turn signal is a 1157 "supermax" xenon gas. ($10 bucks a pair) . i took the two wires and tied them together(soldered) so both elements would flash at the same time "brighter". painted the inside of the light housing with "chrome" paint", more reflective. polished the lens with "closeup toothpaste" for a like new lens look. kelly,have you seen these lights before??? ...frank...
m/m427, i knew someone would ask that question . i ran two new wires from the "out" leg on the "brake light switch"... one wire on each side for the two 1157 bulb sockets in each light.... tied the running lights together on each side of the light and hooked them to the stock running light wire.... took the stock wire from the "turn signal switch" and hooked it to the two wires in the 1157 socket i put in the back up light hole. i don't think i missed anything. it wasn't that bad with all the "good advice" i got from the board. thanks again guys, nanas for all the help:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman ...frank...
I'm not really getting what you're saying. So you needed one extra running light and you needed to also tie that into the brakes too right? And why did you modify anything with the backup light wiring?
Here it is simplified. Frank installed Bobcat tail lights. The inside light on these lights is really only a reflector. Frank made them a working light, so he has 4 lights now instead of two. He wanted the 4 lights to be running and brake only. No turn signals. He took the bobcat back up light, and made that his turn signal. So he had to separate the brake lights from the turn signal lights. The out put of the brake switch normally goes to the blinker switch so the wire was cut and fed directly to the rear. One of the original wires going to the back lights is a blinker and brake line. This wire was cut and the new brake wire was attached. The cut wire is now a blinker line only and was attached to the backup light so it now becomes the blinker.
good job dennis, i don't think i could have said it better. .i have a pic. floating in cyber space somewhere that i took of inside of the trunk. if stefan, can retrive it i will post it...frank... p.s. if someone wants the diagram i will try to draw it up.
