Default Midyear Tail Lights

How many tail lights can you install in a midyear?
Well at least 8, maybe a few more.
The setup in the picture would look great as sequential turn signals especially with LED tail lights
Car for sale on Ebay, sold today.

That's almost as redneck as leaving your Christmas lights up all year. LOL!

First time I've seen 4 on a side, 3 was a "fashion statement" back in the '60's

It sort of reminded me of a spider, but UFO works too!

It's OK but two or three per side is more classic Chevrolet.

Look at the Grand Sports. The have a ton of tail lights. Bruce if they all had your LED Tail Lights in them the Grand Sport Cars would light up the sky. I love the set I got from you that are on my 67 OL YELER There is NO reason that anyone with your LED Mid Year Tail Light should ever get rear-ended because someone did not see there brake lights.

Originally the Grand Sports had four tail lights like a stock '63. Perhaps to relieve high speed air pressure build-up, four additional holes were later drilled inboard, but those didn't have lights in them.
