70 charger R/T stripe help.

I think the pocket is recessed a little deeper as well.  The 70 is a lighted marker as opposed to the plain reflector in the 69.

So on both the 68 and 70 they actually work and we're stuck with a dumb reflector?  That's it, I'm turning mine into turn signals!

They make kits so you can do just that.  I favor reflectors though.  Less wiring and one less bulb to burn out.  Led's are available for these as well.

Cool, I'll have to look that up.  With all the cars I've owned, a burnt bulb is really the last thing on my mind.  That rarely happens.  Don't like led's, they may be much colder than the conventional bulb but that's also how they look.  Hated them from the start.

I like the reflectors on the 69, they look sleek to me.

I don't want to change the look of it really.  I think if I drill a nice small hose through the back and have an small bulb it would look pretty stock unless you got real close to it.

It would be real nice to have those things work as turn signals as people to the side of me at a 4 way stop apparently can't see the parking lamps blink on a bright sunny day.

I doubt that they can see the bullet hole lights on the side of a 68 either

[Ghoste]

If they cant see the turn signals on a bright sunny day I cant imagine adding a small bulb in the reflectors would make the difference.  They arent seeing because they just dont care enough to pay attention is all.

[Dino]

Yeah that's true, people don't pay attention.  However, in this case it may be valid.  The parking lamps really are way too dim, especially at idle although some relays should solve that problem.  Still, the lenses are pretty much flush with the housing so it really is hard to see from the side.

Stroker, the turn signals on my 68 worked fine.  True, it wasn't as bright as on a modern car, but you could spot it easily.

The 70 marker lights are longer and taller so they wont fit at all with out cutting in the flange off of a 70 1/4 panel. So I'm leaving the 69 markers on. I know I will catch slack over it but its been sitting for over 13 years with these 1/4's on.
Car was a daily driver till 1994-95 when the the 3rd trany went out. Car had over 300,000 miles on it before it was tore down for a restoration in 1998. So at this point everything is an improvement.

Here is a pic. before I put the clear coat on. I have more pics but they are to big and I dont know how to resize them.
