81' Corvette Guy

Guys..talking with a guy that has a set of bubbles that came of a 69'. Are all the rear tail lights same size up to 82? I know mounting points have changed, will be moding recently purchased 81' housings to do this install. Let me know and thanks in advance for the info...Joe! :seeya

:iagree:
I have been toying with replacing the inner reflector/back up lights with some outer brake/taillights but I think the bubbles are horrid

Ditto...previous owner had put them on mine. They were promptly removed- still have them if anyone wants them.

Now I gotta figure out how to rewire the taillights/backups....

If all four of your tailights are red and work together (4 break lights & 2 turn signals each). I may have your solution.

To each his own....I like them. I have a rear bumper off of an 81, so I needed the entire kit, rather than just the lenses. Eckler's sells the kit for around $80. I picked up a couple sets off of eBay for $40. I also added a sequential turn signal kit, so when I put on the turn signal, the inside light lights first, then the outside light....just like the Cougars/T-birds from the 60's.

:cool:

What is horrid is paying $200 for 4 peices of plastic (originals). :shocked:

I have em and like em.

I remember seeing of them on a dark blue car here on the forum, and they looked fantastic. I dunno if they'd go well on all C3s.

I have a set of the bubble lamps kit from Ecklers for 80 bucks installed in my '79. I love them. I think they look way nicer than the old style and they are brighter and easier to see, making it safer for them idiots behind you!

I like the bubble look and it only cost me $32.00

Gotta be honest... I do not like the BUBBLE look. BUT they look AWESOME on "DMONSVETTE". I guess that's where they look good, on the '74 on up Vettes. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

If the bubble look is not to your liking you can go four brake/tail with stock units.

I have 'em on mine. Like the way they look and the extra visibility they give people behind me.

I don't give a chit what anyone else thinks about them either. :p:

LOTAHP

That's what I did.. I changed the reverse light assemblies and now I have 4 taillights and 2 turnsignals when activated. Using the GM lenses.

I think it is because demons vette is red. Seems to belnd in well.

:thumbs:

I have them on my 81` and the look great and it's yellow. I did a writeup awhile back on installing the Eckler's kit.
