Had a brain fart at Pep Boys and bought a couple led strips. I want to increas my visibility. Car is driven mostly daytime.
After playing with a few options I decided to put them in the horn grills. Luckily they squeeze in perfectly between the vanes and can be clipped every 3rd light. Powered with an inline fuse and to the ignition side of the fuse box so they go on with the key. bot the 12" and trimmed 3 lights. They are a lot brighter in person. Camera battery was running down but managed a few pics. I'm changing the bulbs in my H4s to match. Night pics soon I hope. |

I like the idea, but why not install some fog lamps and run with them on?
I checked out your build thread. Looks like you put the fuchs and center consol in your '70, but kept the seats in the early configuration. I did the same with mine and I consider the fuchs and center consol a tasteful upgrade. Nice job. I also put the corvette brake light on my engine lid to help folks see that I am stopping... |

Some came with a deposit box, like Eric said. What 7T and I put in is the later model center console. I needed a place for my volt, oil and oil temp gauges. I think it's a "tasteful" upgrade. I guess I could have put the gauges in the ash tray area or in pillar pods; I did not like either of those ideas. The '70 4cyl also did not come with Fuchs. Perhaps the 3rd brake light would be better higher up. I thought of trimming the vette light to make it fit upside-down under the roll bar, but I put it on the engine lid as it was easier and seemed good enough. Since I've installed it I would like to think people are not getting so close to the car at stops. It is bright and better than nothing. |
