Can we look forward to ones with the stock lenses on them?
- I'd like to lose 8-10 lbs. but the gaps from where the FG housing mounts to the body have always bothered me....

Ray:
Is there a way to get these as front turn signal lenses for a short hood (74-89) car?.... meaning.....something very small that would allow that space to be mostly "open" to allow air to come in? I'll try to post an earlier inquiry of mine to illustrate, when I find it... EDIT, here it is--> Brake/oil cooling ducts via turn signal lites ...either to replace the side marker light ( with enough "frontal" illumination) , or simply to replace the front TS light with something smaller. Wil

Yes, actually there is. I will look up the photos and post later. I'm in the garage now trying to stuff the engine back into my car.

Ray...simply bumping this so it doesn't get too stale....
When you get out from under the car and have a few moments.....we'd like to see what you have available. Not a big hurry..... Wil

I made this one for our race car. I used an Audi side marker light. I drilled a 1/2" hole above the light and mounted an led light for the turn signal.

Gumba:
That looks nice.....does it provide adequate visibility to on-coming traffic? I ask because this seems to be a race car application to satisfy ( maybe) rules......would like to know how this really works on the street. Wil

Will,
It works fine for the street. The led is the turn signal and reads well. The car is licensed for the street and I occasionally drive it on the street. I use a cooler in each fender. The front of the coolers are enclosed to capture all the air from the turn signal openings. At the track the temp is in the 190-210 range.

My low-buck version of R taillights.
The brake light (red area) is a low-cost LED-array bulb with about 12 LEDs. The others are still stock incandescents. More efficient (and brighter) bulbs are available with 48 and even 60 LEDs in a cluster for the 1157 socket.   Incandescent bulb on left; LED bulb on right Sherwood |

Sherwood - does that use the metal housings?
BTW - at least one race catalog offers LED "rain lights" for 12 VDC.

This approach is similar to Gumba's, but for a stock mid-year bumper. The stock front lens is retained, but the side lens is removed for oil cooler air flow. Both lenses could be removed using this concept with lamps mounted on brackets behind the expanded metal grills.
  From the frontal views you can see the path of the cooling air. The next photo is more from a side view to show the visibility of the lamp.  Since the lamp is recessed behind the grills and basically hanging in space, any configuration of LED lamp assembly could be used. edited to correct spelling

Why does PP list their parts for applications 74-89? Or was that just a factor of "where" it was listed in the catalog? These were originally used, obviously, on pre 74's so why are they sold as a post 73 part?

Not sure whether much air would find its way inside the bumper. I understand the "air scoop" that PParts sells is more at higher speeds. I wonder if anyone makes a mini-NACA duct for this application? :-)
