Hi All

Trying to come up with a tag lite for the back of my roadster which is difficult. Any ideas ir pictures would be really appreciated.

Thanks

 

search for hollywood light ....jeffrey

 

Someone makes tag bolts that have lights in them. Check the ads in the magizines.

 

There was very recently a very long thread with at least a 100 posts on this subject, or close, where to mount and what you used.

 

I had some LED bolts that I got off of Ebay. They were pretty cool and really easy to install. The guy has black and chrome available, or he did a couple months ago.

Here they are:

called lightning bolts

 

I'm using ex-military convoy lights.They're about 1 inch diameter.They consist of a rubber body which pushes into a hole in the sheet metal,a gl*** lens which in turn pushes into the rubber housing,then a metal hood is fitted over the ***embly and secured with 2 screws.The hood covers half the lens.Look pretty good on a traditional car.Shouldn't be too hard to find.I'll get pics tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the help any pictures?

 

Just search, lotsa threads on here.

I found 16 threads using "license plate lights" in the search. Gotta type it in with the quotes. I would link the threads here but it will no work because of cookies.

I honestly think those bolts are...for lack of a better term...gay.
and very street rodesque.

I use one from a AC Cobra $39.95 plus the freight. They have two light bulbs inside and are real bright. They also came originally on some MGs and other British cars. They are sort of the " 39 Ford tail lights " of Britain ... as far as being used and real popular.

Check out KOOL Rides @ www.koolrides.biz or www.koolrides.com. They have what you need I think. Good people to deal with.

Lobeck has a nice small license plate light. Had one on my coupe for several years. I think it cost around $30. Way smaller than the Hollywood. Sorry no picture.

 

I bought one a couple of years ago from a guy who sells VW parts in Milwaukee. I think he might be a HAMBer. Calls himself the "Bug Baron" I think. It was a repro knock-off of the old VW bus lights. Light, tag bracket, etc for under 20 bucks. All chrome, too................

 

Pic of convoy lamp as promised.I have a better pic of the ***embled lamp but can't up load it for some reason.If you PM me your e-mail I'll try sending it to you.

 

Ha Ha .Couldn't agree more!

 

Thats what I have...

my hollywood tag light.

 

I was reponding to a request for pics of said bolts I dont care for them myself.

 

SOCAL has a nice ss tube lic light, I used one on my roadster. Lobeck also has a neat little lic lite too.

 

"I honestly think those bolts are...for lack of a better term...gay." Gee--I've got them and I like them. Form and function. I march to my own beat, you should try it sometime.

 

lightning bolts look just like bolts.not something stole off a honda 90 stepthru or a cigar tube........most people wouldnt even know they were there if ya didnt tell or show them ......JMO
