Big Rig cab lights

[Ralf]

I just saw some of these at a car show flea market. They are 12 to 14 inches long, chrome and have pointed amber or red bullet lenses. The cylinder tapers flat on one side for mounting. They will really give the Buck Rogers rocket look. Look at a large truck stop

Man it's scary how this group thinks alike! Yesterday I was just pondering using these lights, just as you described, for the rear 3 marker lights on top of my tear. The problem is that I cannot find red lenses for them. They are Grote 45993 also made by Truck-Lite and are 15" long and 3-1/2" wide! Perfect for my trailer, but generally quite large:

They make a transparent paint that you could use to paint the amber lenses red.

You guys may want to check out the Tail Light King at www.taillightking.com He may have red lenses for that light. Or you may want to adapt the 59 caddy lens. it has a 3 inch base.

I just have to go to my local hobby shop for Testor's Red paint. And, I've found these lights for $20.09 each! My local truck place wants $60 each.

won't be the most economical source but try a Love's store (truckstop chain) or a Rip Griffin's.
