Hood turn signal kit???

[Lennard]

The seller has a different pic up from the Auction that you bought from. It has even less of the hardware shown in it.

He took the short main wiring harness out of the picture.

when i  spoke of a gasket,  when you seperate the lens from the housing, there is a thin rubber gasket that fits between the two, I don't really see how it serves a purpose other than not letting moisture into the lens itself, mine was broken when i disassembled it, a thin coat of silicon sealant would work just as good.

Did you receive the Kit?  Is the cast housing's included like they were in Lenards kit?            

[Lennard]

Here you can buy the housings and under LIGHTS/LENSES you can find the gaskets.

    I'm just wondering if I'd be getting the complete kit for 70 bucks plus shipping like you did. That sounds like a steal.

Be aware that it is not a complete set, this is what you will get:

     O.K.  I was going by your post #13. The pic you posted had the housing in it.

That's what I've been looking at as well. I'm temped to just roll the dice and buy one up and see what arrives.

And also this piece of text:

Well, today the kit came in and to my surprise it's a complete set including the turn signal housings. Not bad for $69... this complete set cost $229.95 on eBay. They must have made a mistake in my advantage for once.

And now they even took the short main wiring harness out of the picture/auction.
They were probably such a hot selling item on eBay that they now try to squeeze more profit out of it.

My package arrived today,   I just opened it and received exactly what was advertised, the wires, (all 3 including the main harness wire) the two lenses-both yellow instead of orange like the older originals (not enough to justify trying to recolor them though) the housing retainers, bolts and nuts.  No housings were included in my kit though (darn) There was also two gaskets for the lenses included. 

I'll just have to clean up my original housings to use with these parts, I don't anticipate replacing the bolts as they are pretty well stuck in the housings as they are now.  It gives me something to work on the rest of this week,  today i put the new battery tray in place and installed most of the rear window moulding clips before the 3/32 drill bit broke.

A followup,  the lenses and gaskets fit the old housings just fine.  The new bulb plugs however do NOT fit into the old housings, this was even after i sanded the inside of each housing to ensure a good contact with the bulb housing.  I took the old wiring and the bulb housings snugly fit into the old housing but slid easily in and out completely to the lip, the new ones do not go in further than the initial edge.  The bulbs are also a different size, the old bulbs were longer whereas the newer ones are short and round.  Getting the new ones to fit the old housings will require some grinding, or I may elect to use the old bulb wires with the new plug to the main harness, those plugs did fit just fine with a little pushing to get past a new connection. I'd prefer to use the new wiring for obvious reasons, plus there is a cover on the new but the old ones no longer have a cover if they ever had one.

Just something to keep in mind if you order them.

Does the other kit have the same issues I wonder?

[Lord Warlock]

I did remove the old studs on one housing and install the new ones, primarily because the nuts were missing on one housing, and the replacement nuts did not screw down on the old studs.  The nuts, while they appear to be the same size as the originals, they are not perfect matches as the originals had the star type lock washers attached to the nut and the new ones don't.  Not that i really care that much but someone might.  I could take a pic of the originals if needed.  Still don't know how i'll proceed at this point, don't want to grind out the housings and find out i should have just gotten new ones for an extra 80.00.  Never can tell exactly how much material to take off either just to get the bulbs to go in. 

Has the other buyer tried fitting the bulb wires into the housings he got?  do they fit?  I'd be interested to find out if other buyers run into the same issue.  I'm the type that will usually make it work rather than send a part back or bitch about a minor detail.  And i do have options available to me.  Now that the battery tray is installed i can hook up the battery then test out the blinkers with both wires and see if one works and the other doesn't before i decide to damage my original housings.

Keep us posted. At this point, I'm thinking that I'll just spend the extra coin and go w/the tried and true kit from Charger Specialties (at a much higher cost, the first one that I bought from them years ago was a LOT more affordable than they are now, should have bought 2).

[Charger-Bodie]

I took the chance and mine showed up today with everything,but the little clips that hold the pigtail harness to the hood.  

IMO these are FAR nicer than the ones from Charger Specialitys.

[C928BRAN]

i got exactly what the picture shows, no housings, or pigtail.

[Ghoste]

And you both ordered from the same place?

[C928BRAN]

come out of canada     pg classics

[Charger-Bodie]

come out of canada     pg classics

Mine too. Must just be the luck of the draw. I was all set to end up with what was shown. I just got a bonus.

[mauve66]

i always heard that pg was the canadian, seconds-not firsts, side of BE&A, maybe thats why they don't quite fit right or come with the same parts all the time??

They aren't seconds. They aren't the licenced by mopar, so no part stampings with pentastar. Mike at b,e&a sells the authentic resto parts licences my Chrysler.

[mauve66]

oh, ok, corrected.  wonder why they are shipping different sets??

[Charger-Bodie]

That is a mystery. Not sure what to say about that one.

[Ghoste]

Also, they aren't affiliated with BE/A in any whatsoever, are they?

PG Classic and BE/A are partners and sell the same stuff.
