Tail Light Bulb?
Found this bulb spliced into the housing, and the bracket attached via a self-tapping screw. Seems like it was added during the federalization process?

Looks like they added side marker lights. Not how the factory did that...

That's what I thought. Would new housings have this light integrated?

Thanks. So if I keep these housings but remove this light then I'm technically not US legal?

Technically, no. But, I'd bet very few people would care about that fact.

I've run Euro spec. cars for years, with absolutely no compliance modifications, and no cop has ever batted an eye. Even those that stopped me for some "other" infraction.
But then, I live in Oklahoma, where they don't worry about all the petty bull**** that cops on either coast will bust you for. JR |
