Nice look.

I might put a third light in my 62, like Black Magic at 76 why not.

I lived in southern California during the late sixties and early seventies and had to have the third lights. I installed them on my 1965 Corvette, that I still own, in 1970. Have loved the addition ever since.

George,
You inspired me to go ahead and add the extra tail lights on my 62. I was gifted an adjustable Led flasher to use with the sequencer, below is the result.

Thanks,
Marty

I installed them on my 1966 Charger. They look especially cool on the car as the entire rear panel is red.

There are universal kits available on Ebay as I recall.

I didn't purchase them, I fabricated them. Using mold release, I made male plugs from the existing inner buckets, then made new buckets from those molds. I made sure I included flanges that allowed me to glass the new buckets to the inside of the rear valence. Before glassing them in place, I used a hole saw for the new openings being careful to orient the angle of the saw to the angle of the new buckets, not perpendicular to the surface of the valence. The new bezels cover the edges of the holes.
