Have any of you modified your side marker lights to accept bulbs? Is it even possible?
If they were side markers wouldn't they already have bulbs?Have any of you modified your side marker lights to accept bulbs? Is it even possible?
Thanks for your inputIf they were side markers wouldn't they already have bulbs?
That's the answer I was looking for. Thank you.It's actually harder than it sounds; the '69 cars (w/reflectors only) have no actual hole behind the side reflectors to allow for a bulb socket and wire, and the '70-'71 sidemarker light + reflectors aren't the same size/shape as the '69 items.
There are other ways around this, depending on what the OP wants/will accept in terms of finished appearance, amount of work to do the job, etc.
The law requirement was lights and/or reflectors for '68-'69, then lights and reflectors from '70 on. The lights and reflectors do different jobs in terms of keeping you out of different kinds of crashes; light + reflector = best odds of not getting hit.
