A new twist on Rear Convoy lamps

Post by Herr Fritz »

I can't help it...when it comes to lighting I get carried away.

Real Glass taken from a camera flash tube and two micro green LED's.

A super fine diamond dremel cutoff wheel did the job very nicely! Now to just build the caps and I'm done.
I wonder if the wiring on those convoy lamps were behind the cap or was there short lead like on the front lamps?

Hope you like it!

THANKS! :D

Its going on a early Tiger. I plan on going over the tube with a fine
grade of sandpaper so it looks worn and to aid in defusing the light.
