Thread: Flush mount tail lights and third brake lights

Tweet

I saw an awesome 37 Pontiac coupe at good guys in Des Moines a couple years ago and it had flush fitted brake lights and third brake light. These things were flush with the paint and no seams can't remember where the guy said he got them at. Does anyone know where you can get them or a kit to do it?

Watson's is one place - Rectangular Flush Mount LED Taillights
Lambert's is another - Lambert Enterprises LED Taillights

Thanks for those links Roger. When I googled it, those 2 didn't come up.

Not sure why Ryan, worked fine for me!

Hey Ryan,
I used HAGAN STREET RODS. Nice products and knowledgeable people.

Or did you mean like these? There are 5 lights "hidden" in the back of this ride...

Something like that. The ones I saw were smooth with the body, and cleared over. You couldn't tell they were there until they illuminated. But once you saw them you knew they were there. I'd like to do something like this for a third brake light. Eventually.

These are like that. I waited for the sun to come around so I could snap that pic and you can pick out 2 of the lights. Other wise you won't see anything. I really thought it was a trick setup, hadn't seen anything like it before or since.

Wow! Those lights are hidden so well you can't see them at all in your post!

Sorry Ryan -No I don't, I did talk with the owner and he wasn't offering much info on how he did it.

Ya know, I've been building cars and such ever since I can remember and something I've noticed in the last 10, or so, years. A LOT of people are writing checks instead of building them. I've talked to THAT GUY at a lot of shows.

ME: Hey guy, that's a nice mod, how'd ya do it.
OWNER (check writer) A lot of hard work. (turns and walks away)

ME AT A SHOW:
SPECTATOR: Hey guy, I like those hidden hinges, how'd you do it?
ME: Launch into a half hour, rambling, diatribe on pros and cons of doing it.

Frustrating.

Not to hijack Ryan's thread, but it's the same around here, Terp. Nothing against check writers, other than the ones who hire it all done and then claim they "...built it myself!!" That's why I like threads on here where guys are showing what they're doing, and how they're doing it. Nothing better than figuring out how to do something you've never tackled before, and actually pulling it off and gettin' it done!

Those are some slick lights. I'm assuming they were just flush mounted and cleared over. Like to know how it was actually done.
