Maybe (probably) this has been done in the last ten years. But I'd like to improve my rear lights.
Two things: 1. Are reasonably priced rear lenses available? I gave away a NOS set a while back... not my best decision, but not my worst. 2. I'd like to improve the lighting in general. My thoughts are that the 40+ year old reflective paint inside could use brightening. Also, LED technology has gone a long way. Do we have any lessons learned on either? thanks, Rusty |

Hey fellas, thanks for all the feedback.
The LED modules look great, but I may have to budget for them. That reflective tape is a brilliant idea (no pun intended). For seven bucks and some sweat equity, it might be a short-term solution. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
