WTB: WWII Military Front blackout marker lights
need two for the front fenders of a WW2 1/2 ton dodge truck...No need to be working, or perfect. I just need something to put on my wc-12 front fender for now. eventually will rewire to use as turn signal lamps.

I used a set similar to these on my command car. My lenses were different. The guide brand has the same bucket and profile as the military units. they look factory and work well. keep checking ebay. the stock bullet unit openings do not provide a big enough window to supply enough turn signal lighting.

- My garage: Restored Old Henry, and have had this WC51 on the road around 3 years now... Currently finishing a brace of Ben Hur trailers, and starting a 67 Galaxie fastback. Concurrent with the WC I restored a 74 TR6... Oh the joys.
Re: WTB: WWII Military Front blackout marker lights
I'm simply drilling a pair of holes into the back of the blackout marker lens, and putting a pair of Radio Shack very bright yellow LEDs(PN# 276-0351) in, wired in series(with a 1N914 diode between) and a 7805 5v. voltage regulator (PN# 276-1770), wired to the turn signal feed wire. ALl original equipment will look & operate as original: when I want turn signals, the extra wires added(and one into the housing) will make the amber LEDs turn it into a turn signal. VERY effective, and almost undetectable when displayed...

I will probably use magic marker to darken down the exposed part- It does not affect the light intensity, but will hide the clear of the bulb...
