Truck Bed Lighting

[Ah Pook]

I'm looking for a 12 volt, two filament roll bed light insert. No LED please. I've seen two types on trucks (flat reflector and beehive). All I'm finding is single filament driving lights.

Call Lighthouse in Commerce city tell em what you want if they don't have it it hasn't been made.303-227-0001

[Ah Pook]

Is this place going to be a vacuum on my wallet? :p

Thanks! I'll give 'em a call.

[Mtn.man]

No they are wholesale to us so if they give you a no go call with the product and we can get it for you.

[Ah Pook]

No love. [Shy]

Streamline was a no-go also.

[blackford76]

The only dual element I've seen in that size is LED. What are you using them for?

[Ah Pook]

'50s Willys truck bed.

Most of what I've found are driving/parking lights. I just can't warm up to LEDs on the old stuff... and the $100+ price tag.

[Mtn.man]

So if Streamline didn't have something, maybe Ebay.

Have you tried brothers performance? They have ok prices and a decent ship time also try late model restoration the wiil both come up in google, sorry the nook wont let me cope links.

[blackford76]

OK, got it, you want tail and signals for an old truck that look like they belong.
Try trailer lights, boat trailers specifically, I have seen round ones with 2 screws holding the lens on, and almost square ones with push on lenses.

I have pieces of 428s dangling from the bottom of the bed. Looking to get the lights up and out of the way.

These might work, if all else fails.

Give 'em a try.

Just not into that new fangled technology. [Coffee] Looking to keep it as original looking as possible.

yeah because buying light bulbs and getting pulled over for having a light out is SOOO much better.

Come on Man, live life on the edge. [Coffee]

Did some Google Fu last night. Still no luck. Haven't tried Svegals yet.

Make something we do with the rats. we always look for weird lights and such and then make the work. Old busses with the funky clearence lights etc...

[Ah Pook]

Oh, I'm all over funky. :D Right now there are a couple of beehive marker lights on each side. One for a driving light and the other for brake/turn. The problem is they don't stick out far enough.

These might just be the best solution. Mount them on the side of the bed just under the rails. Good visibility and out of harms way.

I just really like the idea of tucking them in the bed roll.

[Mtn.man]

Some old lights from an early HD/motorcycles would look cool, they make repro's of all those.

Hmm, I always liked the spartos (limp dicks). Ebay has quite a few of 'em.
