Taillights

Taillights

For taillights i wanted them tucked under the truck as opposed to on the fenders. I wanted the turn signals not to be so obvious so I'm using Visibolts. I wanted to hide all the wiring too as I never liked seeing wires coming out. It just looks unfinished to me. Went to the drawing board and this is what I cam up with.

I ordered some stainless taillights from Bob Drake and started from there. They are really nice pieces and made a cardboard template and cut out some mounting brackets. Drilled the holes for the wire runs.	I'm going to make up tapered, self contained nuts that the wires will run through and hopefully look decent when done. Stainless tubing will be used as well so some thinking had to be done here.	Here are the Visibolts. they are carriage bolts with LEDS in them and come in several colors. One wire with body being the ground.	Here's the exploded view of all the parts. You can see the cross drilled hols the the tapered nuts for wire run.
One together and you can see the turn signal in the lower left of the assembled one.	Close up shows how it is all wiring is hidden and trapped at the same time. They are ready to go on now.
