BED ROLL LIGHTS. (deals, clowns, rips, and beware!)
so, since the '52 came stock with one tail light and no turn signals, i decided to upgrade those as well. i figured maybe a set of those kewel bed roll lights in amber would be just the ticket, so, the internet search is on.
first off, this. i cannot figure, for the life of me, how the hell these things can cost over $100.00 a pair. second, some of these products can get yer butt in jail and the truck impounded. remember, i'm an old, beat up, over the hill cop, and at least 3 times i can remember, i've had cars and trucks towed for illegal lighting that couldn't be removed on the scene, with instructions to the towing company the vehicle not be released until the lights were made to comply with the law.
and of course the over $100.00 ticket to boot.
one of these products will put you into that catagory.
http://www.x2industries.com/truck-l...d-turn-signals-kit-blue-pair-p-4968.htmlso, these folks will sell you a set of lights you CANNOT legally use on the street for the (in my opinion stupid) price of only $158.00 (just how stupid are YOU?), and for that amount of money you get to play the ticket lottery where you get the opportunity to pay about $200.00 more in fines, possibly points on your license (depending on your state and how the officer writes the ticket as most equipment violations have no points, but operating and unsafe vehicle tickets DO have points for your insurance man to look at.... and yeah, those tickets "stick" in court and require the vehicle to be towed, so add 3-4 hundred more bucks to the tally).
now the same company sells these,
http://www.x2industries.com/advance...=0&osCsid=26ose4u7jt56119ms652g7p287 for the amazing low price of only $138.00, but again, just how stupid are you?
remember, i have told you from the start to do your homework and research.
try these:

oh yeah, there's some cheap stuff that just might be to avoid, like the canadian company one of our members had a bad time with.
