Red Reflector in Clear Lens! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Andy4639 · 05-11-2002, 05:58 PM

Ok, I know alot of you don't like the clear lens, but I added red to mine. What do you think. I glued a trailer lens inside of the brake housing under the clear lens.

It fit perfect with no cutting, I was scared I would have to cut it and then I would have messed it up.

I think it looks killer,,mind if I copy idea?

That's why I posted it. I figured there would be some more people interested in do it. I used goop glue, that stuff will hold anything, you can buy it at w/mart and lowes.I think the parts store may have it also. I used the little red square lens out of the replacement packs you buy at w/mart. The pack has the round,amber, and this one in it.

REPLY 1 ABOUT BULBS.
Not worried about the bulbs, I'll just pry it off when I need to. I put the led bulbs in so it want get that hot and they are suppose to last a long time.

Reply 2 ABOUT Sticker
When I put the TPI in my truck I wanted a emblem to signify a 5.0 motor. I ordered the ones from Chevy and that's what they sent.
5.0 liter HO . I didn't like it for the side by the Custome Deluxe emblem, so I ordered the 5.0 (mustang) I know, it's a ford emblem, but what can I say it looks alot better than the one Chevy sent me. It matches up pretty good with the C/D emblem as well, same size, and it's chrome stick on.

I think it looks great

I may have to borrow that idea as well

But I do have one question....
Are they bright enough in daylight???
Most of the LED bulbs I have seen that fit under a lens are kinda on the dim side.
