    So I wanted some taillights that are bullit shaped. Lots out there, most are small and hard to see. So while at the swap meet I spy some cheap dummy spotlights........hmmm.

    Yes, I know they orange marker lights in them. So the marker lights are the standard trailor lights.

    So I ground off the marker lens on the bench grinder leaving an abused lens and a white light socket.

    Grind the lens to fit the diameter of the dummy spots.

    Wire the trailor light as you should and presto !!! Bullit lights that are big enough to see, bright enough to be noticed, still cool, and not to much cash.
