Tail Lights
Originally on these trucks, you had ONE stop/tail light, and it was located on the driver’s side. On Cornelius, as I have seen on many others, people have added a stop/tail light on the passenger side. Then, turn signals, originally manual in nature, were added in the front and in the rear. The end result is an unsightly twin set of lights in the rear of the truck and more to maintain.
I decided I wanted to replace this twin set of lights with a single set of decent-looking stop / turn/ tail lights and began a search. Again, I could not find anything that represented an original set of lights, so I decided to find a set of lights that looked original for the application.
I will admit to a preference for stainless steel – I like it’s durability, low maintenance and appearance. It may not always be the “correct” choice, but while I am trying to stay as original as possible, I will also apply my own touches here and there, and this is one of them. With that in mind, I found a set of tail lights that are perfect for Cornelius.
Sold by Rodtiques, this set of tail lights is all stainless, with a beautiful style, glass lenses, and they can be purchased with a license plate bracket. You can also get them in 6 or 12 volt versions. I purchased a 6-volt version.
Wiring was super easy as they provide instructions, and the end result, you’ll have to agree, is gorgeous. They work very well and I am very happy with them.
