    taillight help, what is this?????

     



    I saw these last weekend and the Goodguys show here in Colorado, I know the 59 Cad portion, I am wondering what the cap on the rear of the taillight is? Any help will be appreciated.

    I'd call these guys and ask if they have something the lens fits into.

    Wink

     



    They are 1959 (might be 60's actually from the shape of the lens, or an aftermarket or reproduction lens) caddy tailights. I just happen to have one in the shop this week
    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    The diameter at the base of those lights is 3" so any motorcycle rear tail light that fits a 3" lens, would probably work. I am also guessing those are a Harley item, or some aftermarket tail light for a road bike!
