Rear Tail lights

[GBOLT]

Hey All,

 

Was hoping I could get some photos of your various tail lights. I am trying to decide which setup to use and could really use your help. Look forward to as many options as I can get from you all. Getting close to wiring my Stalker and really need to make this decision.

 

Thanks.

I just installed the standard UK stop/tail assembles on my car. External mount with a rubber wedge to conform to the curve of the rear fender. I installed them both with four stainless steel bolts and washers and lock nuts on the inside of the fender. Only problem is that these assemblies do not have the backup light. That is a separate box.

 

(These replaced the pitiful Toyota through mount assembles which were spaced out/ through the fenders with a carved piece of crappy wood!)

Here's an example of the standard UK assemblies .... The center red is a reflector.

Here is what I used for the tail lights for my car.

49 Ford pickup tail light from Speedway Motors.

Here are mine. Standard Stuart Taylor Motorsports, what ever they might be.

 

And for the record I am not the one in the driver seat

Looks like the same ones I have on my car: Land Rover style 3" lights.

I think the stock Caterham (and oft copied)rectangular box rear lights look like something you can pick up in a "build your own trailer" parts store.Ugliest parts on the car in my opinion.

yeah well .. it is the only one with a built-in reflector.

Mojo has flush mount LED tailights. Kevins has a bolt on billet set of LED. Kevins are much easier to install. The flush mounts have to be done while painting.

WestTexasS2K, those look lights are very nice.

 

With the height of your shop, you need a lift.

 

I found a great deal on Craigslist, (for a lift). It is a 2 post lift and is great all jobs, best money I ever spent.

Yeah I have that on the list right behind the plasma cutter. I am going to be putting in a second floor in half of the shop pretty soon. I have alot of stuff that I dont use all the time but dont want to get rid of. Spare engines, wheels and tires, odd ball parts etc. My shop is getting a little full.
