Front marker lights?

[wetfeetmi]

 I can't figure out what lights to use for the front corner marker lights for my clone. Any suggestions? I have been thru every lighting catalog I can find and I am striking out. The opening is approx. 1 1/4 " x 4 1/4 ". Thanks in advance...Rick

I'm in the process of converting the stock Charger side reflector to LED . At some point I'm going to marksting a kit for this . They will look 100 % orig but they will have a simple two wire hook-up .

Good to know....keep us posted.  Thanks, Rick

The Daytona is as big as a cruise ship , I know that in 69 is was not DOT mandated , but with a car as long as a football Field we need something .

I know on my friends old daytona he had 70 ish Vega light.Is there anyway you cut a hole in white backside of original lens.Then add a piece of tubing and bulb socket.Or LED

[daytonalo]

That is exactly the reason I used the original reflector that came with the car and converted it to illuminate via LED . I think all of us would rather use the correct looking and proper fitting reflector that orig came with car rather than use a Vega or Lincoln or Caddy side marker

How about '70 roadrunner markers?  They're about the same size and have body color bezels?

How about 69 Charger side markers? 

[daytonalo]

All the above , I'm working on a kit to convert them to LED , I have a few things to work out . Why not use a Vega light ?

[daytonalo]

I had a 70 Coronet R/T and they had a side marker lights . Wouldn't the 70 Roadrunner have the same lights ??

superbird yes  70 roadrunner is different

[daytonalo]

I was under impression that DOT mandated all cars have side marker lights in 70

I'm likely misunderstanding the question Larry, but Coronet and Superbird use the same marker lights, the Road Runner ones are different and yes the DOT did mandate them.

[daytonalo]

OK , this is getting nuts . On the 70 Road Runner are they marker lights or just reflectors ??

[learical1]

Superbirds, 70 Coronets and 70 Roadrunners have lights.  Since the 'bird uses coronet fenders, their front lamps are the same as a coronet, but the rear lamps are the same as a roadrunner/belvedere

[daytonalo]

OK , lets get something clear , the 69 Charger DOES NOT have side marker lights , and I will convert any side reflector to LED , which means they will light up . Any questions

 I think I am a little confused too!  '69 Chargers had reflectors, but Daytonas had lights?  '69 Charger reflectors fit the openings for Daytonas?

[nascarxx29]

  Rick all 69 chargers had reflectors.Daytonas included.It made the daytona most vulernable In traffic situations in my opinion..The ones that did light as I recall was for 68-70 and later.The daytona only had reflectors at the lower fender valance as 69 charger fenders did .Though a daytonas used a 70 charger fenders the openings are not cut out and used. And have reflectors on the side of the valance.They do however have 69 valiant park turn signal lights in the front grille opening.That remained lighted on while in full headlight switch position. The 68 lights didnt remain on.I know from experience when someone I know with a green daytona had a 68 charger wiring harness.And I rewired the car using the supplied harness

Daytonas only have plastic reflectors in the valance panel.    Different than the ones in the standard Charger fender.

Same ones cupcake

I used the stock 69 side reflectors in the front. I opened up a hole in the back, installed a socket and bulb from a later "A" body, and tied them into the front park lights. I still used the '70 Charger rear markers that lit up, now all 4 corners light up when lights are on.
