Would like to know if there is a maker of round packaged LED's for the rolled hole on the bed ends? | | |

I also ran across "Visibolts" which are a way to put a (tiny) LED into your bumper bolts. Interesting. There's also a stovebolt thread about them. I've never used either of these. I've seen a fair number of the bed roll lights at shows, and they look pretty nice. | | |

(This is how the turn signals work in my '59.) | | |

#93983 12/29/2005 4:17 PM | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 | I made a strip of metal to fit inside the origional lamp housing. I removed the origional guts and placed three electropods (blinker-tail-brake) and used gorilla glue to hold the three small electropods on the strip of metal. wired up (shortened) the wires so their fuses were inside the lamp housing and just have the three 16 gauge wires going down the tail to the bed.
it's clean and works.
have fun
