My son was driving our 53 the other day with me following him. We were giving it a workout trying to see if we have stopped our tranny leak. The sun was shinning brightly, and I couldn't see our blue dot tail lights at all. I think we were waiting to be rear ended. I ordered a set of led tail lights from Safeway. What a difference it makes. Now you can see the brake lights and turn signals on a sunny day. I guess there goes originality for safety.
