Elite Veteran Posts: 1153 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. I am looking for those super rare fake tail lights from the end of roof rack for my 57 Fireflite Wagon Edited by ToMopar 2020-02-07 6:50 AM (2020_01_31_202821-2.jpg) (2020_01_31_202825-2.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 2020_01_31_202821-2.jpg (113KB - 192 downloads) 2020_01_31_202825-2.jpg (107KB - 189 downloads) | ||

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: Under the X in Texas | Are they actually wired in to light up? Or just decorative? Work with the brakes? | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13042 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 | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1153 Location: D-70199 Heslach | @ Wayne. 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" Edited by ToMopar 2020-02-10 10:33 AM | ||
