Tail Light Position - Page 2

There again, you might want to check with the local laws. (Darn those lawmakers!)

I know in some areas of the US, the blue dots are illegal, since they change the color of the tail light so much..

That said; You can find them at various auto parts stores like CarQuest, Parts American and so on. The ones I've seen, require drilling a hole in the lense to insert the "jewel."

Not to divert the thread but the louvers are an old (not current) item that was made by AutoPlas. I picked thm up on eBay last year.

Jimsky,

I'm actually looking into adding the LED lights, similar to yours, to the wing on the tail of my car. (It's a LENK from OGTS)

I'm still working on the wire routing and how to best fit the light into the fiberglass wing.

Here's two cents....
The photo of mine new 1969 GT, shows the yellows to the outside. For what that's worth.

Die Cast GT? Who makes that? Right now, that may be as close as I can get to becoming a GT owner AGAIN.

Oh, and the "third break light" system. Great idea!

yes, blue dots are illegal and i know it. they dont normally give you a hard time about them unless you're being dumb and put them in a riceburner or grandmas taurus.

Opelg GT Source has a wide selection of Model GTs. From the plastic type you glue together to the match box size to one that is almost a foot long with operating headlights, doors, hood and steering.

If anyone is interested, I bought a case(6) of the AMT re-release of the 1/24 GT. If someone needs one, I'll sell a couple.
