Ok everyone. What bright ideas do you have for the rear of your cars. I have a black 41 P12 and I know i need more lights in the back so other can see me. Please post pictures of your back end. Thanks. carmen

I have posted my set up a couple of times.  I added a pair of motorcycle signal lamps on stalks to brackets I made to fit the bumper bolts.  Swaped in 6V lights and wired them to my signal switch.  In the marker lamp housings I changed out the lamp mount to holders I got from Juliano's Rod shop.  These feature a 6V 35 Watt hologen running light and a 55 watt stop lamp.  I believe the were listed as being for a late 30's chevrolet application but they work within the P15 lens.  So what I have is seperate Amber turnsignals/ 2 running lights and three stop lights.  Seems to get peoples attention.  I also pulled a seperate fused powerling from the battery side of the solenoid, directly to the brake lamp switch.  This takes the load off the headlamp switch/ fuse and allows the stops to be nice and bright even when head lamps are running.

When I added turn signals to my car, I got a set with dual filament bulbs. The rear act as brake/tail lights as well as turn signals. Front ones are on when headlights are lit besides being turn signals.

I made this in one of my machining classes, the instructor was very nervous about running the machines at a typical industry speed. He only allowed them to run at 20% of the correct speed and feed rates. It took 6 hours to program and 14 hours to cut it out.
