I broke down and got the billet RS tail light kit from Classic.

The lights waiting in the trunk.




Installed.

 

looks nice.. i'm looking into getting the led tail lights for my 67

 

Already got it. But for the 3rd brake light.
U should get it. it looks great.

 

There's no place for a third eye tail light on a 69. The body work is long finished, I'm not going to cut into the fiberglass to update it.

I've been looking at the LEDs, they'd look a lot better than the localized light from the bulbs. I put in "super bright" LED bulb replacements, and the provide a nice spot of light similar to the original bulbs, but a sheet of light would look better.

I painted the inside of the tail light enclosures with shiny silver paint to help, but the effrect is nothing like a modern car.
