speedway motors tail/brake lights

[scotty t]

have you guys seen these reproduction p15 lights from speedway motors? i just got mine for the business coupe. the quality is real nice. it's a chrome plated casting just the the real ones. but it has a plastic lense and an LED light. my plan is to use the glass lense and (hopefully) a regular bulb. the only issue is they use one casting for the different body styles and use a molded plastic gasket for the various curves. it does look nice though. they also make tail lights.

the sedan brake light is much cheaper than the coupe.

yup technostolgia (sp?) makes those.

I guess they are assuming you already have their running lights installed.  As the discription of adding a third brake light doesn't jibe with the stock set up.

these are very nicely made and you can get the entire set of three rear lights for less than getting the center section rechromed....(to show quality, anyone can chrome a pitted substrate)

My car is 12v already, I didn't think about most of them still being 6v. When I get my hands on my stock brake light I'll see is the glass lense fits and the see what I have to do to fit an incandescent bulb, the LED is a little too space age for my car!!

If you attempt to fit a original glass lens you will most likely destroy the new fixture. I have been running these new fixtures for several years. If you do not want to convert to the LED setup I recommend you save the two hundred bucks and have your original bezel re-chromed.

Well........ I might have to change my plan!!!!

that company makes  a great product,,i had them make me a set up custom  for my  66 barracuda,,they are the britest LEDs  ive seen,,so far,,,usually those premade copies are a sealed unit,,not serviceable,,,nice and brite and as good  looking as the originals,,,

I agree these are super bright and will last a long time.  I need to get a set for my Plymouth.

 

Got a set of led '50 pontiac tail lamps on the Dodge and they are very bright.  Better to be safe than sorry these days with the way

people drive.

well the glass lense fits the new light nicely, the thing i don't like about it is it's too thick. it is at least 1/2" thicker the the original. there is more curve to it and they make up for that with a gasket that is thicker in the middle. i'd like to see how it fits on a sedan.

[Young Ed]

I believe its thicker like that so it will fit both the sedan and coupe.

[scotty t]

i'll bet i fits the sedan better!

I have a set of the Technostalgia tail lights, but not the center brake light.......in six volt..........but have not installed them

yet.

 

They have stopped making the 6V model due to lack of sales volume.  

 

I thought about trying to use original lenses with their frames, etc.....but have decided that won't really work.  So will

simply use the lights as they came.
