Clear side markers

Recommended Posts

I ordered a set of the clear side markers with housings from thailand_vintage77 on ebay, they just arrived (took forever!) but I am very pleased with what I recieved for the price.  They included lenses, trim, housings, bulbs, all wire connectors, exactally what is pictured below.

 

Sure the lenses are the ones that have the rough type finish inside not like the smooth ones that sell for well over $100 from REDDAT on ebay but for the price $22 I don't think you can beat them. We'll see.

Can you post a picture of the bulb holder front and back? I would like to see if they would be simple enough to switch to a stop, turn and tail bulb, like an 1157 type.

 

 

You can turn the side markers into signal easy enough, and you don't need an 1157.

 

All you need to do is move the ground wire from ground to the turn signal wire. 

 

I had my fronts wired this way for a few years when I had an MSA type 2 air dam with some front signals in the lower vents.

 

This will allow the side markers to flash in sync with the front/rear signals when the parking lights are off, and will be out of sync when the parking lights are on. Many '70's, '80's and '90's GM's (I'm sure others as well) were wired this way for the front turn signals.

 

When I went back to a 240Z valence, I just plugged the original front marker/turn signals in, and haven't got around to re-wiring it again, so my side markers are just side markers currently.
