TAILLIGHT HELP?
« on: March 18, 2010 - 07:20:41 PM »
Do you guys buy new tail light assemblies or get the old ones redone? I have a complete set and the only thing wrong with them is the chrome bars have a few chips in them,and the lens look dull i can fix the lens..also i notice a few cars having led tail lights..i love them but no luck finding them for a 71 cuda.. :popcorn:

Put leds in my 72+ lights, luckily they are round, so trailer lights worked. I'd imagine finding something premade would work for your 71s. Mine cost $50 for both lights, installed.

I refurbished my own 71 Cuda taillights. I purchased all new lenses, and bezels from PGClassic.com. I'm happy with how they turned out:

Thanks, used to have the site. Took it down about 2 months ago. yahoo's hosting was just too pricey for something I never really updated or anything.  :wave:

I just bought something from DMT, great guy to work with.

I'd send him a PM on ebay, tell him you're a member here and Moparts, it was good for a 10% discount for me.
