    Who sells just the headlight conversion guts?

     



    Light is a 34 Commercial. I've seen the halogen conversions (mine has that) but I'm looking for the ones that put a turn signal in the light. Yea- I can buy the headlights already w/ the turn signals in them but that's nearly $350.00!

    Anyone know of a vender who sells the pigtail, reflector set up w/ the 2 bulbs?

    Thanks!
    What's it called? Part number? The link only gives me a search page for Parr.
    How do these install? I'm assuming they are inside the bucket- mount to the pedistal fasteners & require drilling the existing reflector inside the bucket?

    Not to pirate the answer, but saw those in a recent Street Rodder ad - Parr "Turn Signal Light", PN PRR8150, $39.95.

    Steve when you click on the above link and it comes up to a search page, just type in "turn signals" into the top box and click on "go". That wil take you to a turnsignal page and then scroll down until you see the above units.

    I believe I saw something similar in the new catalog from Speedway too.

    Ok- found them.

    TURN SIGNAL LIGHT Hidden Hidden turn signal lights mount behind the headlight lens on any car that has removeable lens headlights. (will not work with sealed beam bulbs). Socket assemblies have metal shield over bulbs to direct light out the front of the headlight. Socket assemblies mount to the headlight reflectors. Kits feature dual element amber bulbs for use as running lights and turn signals.
    Ok- my reflector is for a halogen bulb & covers the entire front opening of the housing. I'm guessing with my set-up- I'd have to drill a hole in the bottom of the reflector?
    The one I saw in the Bob Drake 34 headlight has 2 sockets in the full size reflector. One for the headlight & another one low for the turn signals.
    Some one have a pic of these installed? With lense off of course.

    CW Moss sells a kit to add the turn signals to your existing halogen headlights. Part #B-13026-TS12. $20.00 This is from a 1999 catalog and it says you have to drill your existing reflector. The one I bought from them about two years ago for the same price just clipped on to the halagon bulb. I think I had to poke a hole in the rubber boot that fit on the back of the halogen bulb to pass the wires through. www.cwmoss.com

    I looked at the reflector replacement conversion kit kit from CW Moss for about $95.00 & then saw their universal bulb sockets w/ amber bulbs for $20.00 & require drilling my reflector (I already have the halogen conversion).
    I then saw the same exact replacement sockets for around 5 bux at Pep Boys & bought them. They are still sitting on a shelf for the to-do list.
    I'm getting ready to do some major wiring upgrades starting next week so it will get done soon.

    If you are buying the headlight complete, you can order them with or without turn signals.
    I already had the 34 commercials & they already have the halogen conversion & new reflector. I'm just trying to add turn signals w/o replacing what I already have.
