GROUP BUY new hood ind lights from B/E&A !! Nice !!! Take a look!

[Charger-Bodie]

Mike from B/E&A sent me my new hood indicator light kit the other day, and I thought id share them with all of you (the pics ,not the lights there all mine)
  They are a very very nice reproduction, much nicer than the others that we have had access to. Each part of the assembly is made correctly not milled from a solid chunk or any of that. the lenses are nice and already painted flat black like they should be.

The harness , the sockets , and the terminal plugs are also right on!

pretty nice.  I got mine back in the day from Charger Specialties.  They have the stud & nut set up.  You would think that any company that goes through the hassle & money to repro a part would do it right.....why use Phillips head screws?

[bull]

Good question.

[JimShine]

So long as they used a machine screw, you should be able to make it correct with little effort. The studs unscrew from the stock ones and are a simple machine screw with no head. I had to make two for my set. Just get the right thread (for you guitar guys, it is the same screw as a USA Fender Strat and tele pickup screw), grind the head off and put a nut on it.

[bull]

Sounds easy. Why didn't they do it?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

$200 clams & YOU have to make it right???  Not knocking them at all buuuttt....

[Charger-Bodie]

I guess my feelings on it is that the only thing wrong with these is the only thing right with the charger specialitys units real easy deal.

[JimShine]

I wondered the same thing when I had to deal with repop valence corners, incorrect aspects in new front valences, excess plastic in the big money plastic interior back window trim, huge money for barebones dash harness, incorrect looking plating on gas caps, corny arm rests, the list goes on. I NEVER expect a reproduction part for a Mopar to be perfect. I am jaded to the point I expect to hear a list of issues and for these just to have a problem with a simple mounting stud is not bad.

[resq302]

Maybe I am wrong, but didn't they originally have a rubber boot that went over the light socket where it went into the directional housing?  I know both of my light socket rubber boots are there.  Kind of dried out and starting to fall apart, but they are there.

Holy crap, now that's an butt woopin.  I realize the set sent to 1HOT68 isn't correct, I only had them in my hands long enough to send them out to replace the set he sent me to reproduce from.  Brian and I already had the discussion about the studs and they will be in the production assemblies.

The production pieces will be here at my shop in the next 30 minutes or so, if they come in with cheesy screws they will be changed.  NO drama allowed.

I'm on it!

Michael, I expected nothing less.  to you & your company!

[six-tee-nine]

Not cheap but i like the way they look....

Will be putting them on my list of things to get........should better make a list of things i DON'T need that's maybe less work....

[resq302]

Michael, is there a chance that your company will be making the rubber boot that the wire goes through and goes over the socket and housing?  Not that our cars will see any kind of rain or bad weather, but I think that is why Mopar had them installed, to prevent any rusting of the socket and housing.

Rubber boot? Did we miss something?  I want to know, I want answers now!  Just kidding, if there is a boot on the wire I would need one.  The set 1HOT68 gave me didn't have the boot.

Mike,

PM me and I will see if I can get my whole wire, boot, and socket off as a unit and send it to you.

$200 clams is about right for what i have seen from other places!!! those look real nice!!!
a set is on my wish list!!!!!!!!! 

[bill440rt]

Michael, those look really nice!

Guys, the ones Charger Specialties are selling are $220, BE/A's already look nicer & are less expensive. I'm in for a set in the distant future, that's for sure. Unless, of course, a group buy becomes available. 

I'm not so sure about the rubber boot thing, I've never seen the boots before. Is there anything showing up for boots in either a FSM or original parts book?? 

[skip68]

I need some too.  Soooo if anyone wants to know what to get me for X-mas......
