Custom tail lights
Looking for some pictures of the custom taillight conversion lens for a 1975.
Eckler has a set but looking for other options. This is just the lens not a digital, or replacement taillight.
One kit is for 68-73 other is 74-82
Any body have a set of these? Install problems ?

I have the Ecklers bubble lights retrofitted with LED's on my '75. (80-82 bumper). Works well for me since the '80-82 lenses are no longer available. Sorry for the poor quality of pics, car was in the dark garage and it was pretty sunny the day that I took the pics. Bulbs are actually very bright. BTW, reverse lights under the bumper.
No lights on:
Brake lights (you can see the pattern):
Install was no problem. I did have to replace the sockets with a different one from NAPA so the LED spider lights would fit. Just took a little perusing the catalog. I also painted the back of the lights silver for a little more reflectivity

Thanks for the pics, nice conversion of the tail light.
I also have an 80-82 duck tail bumper and replaced the backup lights with another turn signal light.
Moved the backup light to about the same position as yours but will be recessing it into the truflex bumper this summer. I have them hooked into the license light for now.
