Location: D-70199 Heslach | Last week I was in sweden an I've seen first time in my life another fwdlook wagon with an optional roof rack.

Location: Parts Unknown | I have a rack with one "light" present. Not interested in separating it from
the rack. But if you want the whole thing ....

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | When I was young, we had these extra lights on our bicycles, mounted on the handlebars. Back then they came cheap, in different colors with chromed housings. I was thinking that lenses from those ones could be a substitute.
Right now, naturally, I can't even find one picture of them, at the time I had so many that it was really hard work to get them to light up with the dynamo |

this "lamps" are fully useless (according to my knowledge and the non existing wire holes in my roof), because no functions behind. Just decoration. Thats the reason I call them "fake lights"
@Sven,- I remember those "good times"

Location: D-70199 Heslach | In fact, I have already thought about casting such plastic 57-58 DeSoto Rear triple tail lights, but I have too little experience

The plastic casting experiment fail
But the end spear fake plastics looks really good in the warm sun
