Upgrading 1965 Barracuda brake lights

OneMile:

I m building a new headlight harness right now. Including relays & circuit breakers to take that load off of the 47 year old switch & bulkhead connector. I will post pics when I am done.

Bill:
I am not worried about the chinese doing that job. It is too low volume for them, and they would have cut every corner they could. I have about 3 hours in the circuit board layout in the housing, and another couple in the driver board & circuits in the trunk. The LED's in quantity are less than 75 cents each - but by the time you build it all, burn & drill double sided boards, etc. it was a little bit more than the cost of cutting up a couple of trailer lights.

Goldfish:
I initially made the mold for those lenses to replace my trashed back up lenses (the "good" one is in the pics). I machined a mold from aluminum bar stock, and actually molded the parts from cycloaliphatic epoxy. The clear parts came out good, the idea to tint it red came later. I had noticed when I pulled into the driveway at night the original reflective ring in those lenses was worthless compared to the 1980 F100 parked next to it. I will have to take a pic of the garish back up lenses...
