Resurrection of the old Reverse Light Thread
Question for you @Dana67Dart,
I am wondering if you think it would be possible to cut away the outer bezel of a Mustang Reverse Lamp Housing to be left with just what I would need to replace my missing 69 reverse light Sockets? These sockets are as hard to find as hens teeth. Mustang 67-68 reverse housings seem to be plentiful and relatively inexpensive. I'd just hack up some used ones.
BTW I already have Nice New 69 Reverse Light Chrome Bezels, so just need to get lights mounted into them.
69 Reverse Light Sockets. Basically unobtanium...
Was thinking of cutting the "Lamp" section out of Mustang Housings to replace the 69 sockets pictured above.
What do you think? Am I crazy.
One more for the gang to consider.
I was also looking at 64-66 Mustang front parking lights as candidates to cannibalize... I have no frame of reference for size though...
These are the Mustang Parking lights... Bulbs are 1157 Park/Turn but a work around for that and the wiring would be simple.
The sockets look like they might be stamped sheet metal and riveted in, not part of the pot metal castings...
If that's the case and the size works, they could be better to work with. "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
If anyone here has a 64-66 Mustang and could provide a measurement on the park light lens mounting screws center to center, I could figure it from there.
This is very interesting to me.
