Re: 51 Chev on a S10 frame, named Dale

Well, I completed another little project, the front parking lights. First I planned to switch them over to 1157 (dual filament) bulbs, I purchased the sockets, and realized they are too big for the housings. So, I decided on using 3, 194 bulbs.

I cut off the back of the housing, drilled 3 holes in a piece of sheet metal, filed in the cutouts for the 194 sockets, formed the metal and welding it to the back of the housings, installed the amber bulbs, and attached the new glass lenses.

The plan is to have the middle one on for the 'running/parking' lights, and the outside 2 will flash for the signals.

Don't know if these pics show the difference in brightness, but I think it will be fine.
