hey all.

I am searching for 2 sets of first gen side markers. i built a set that use the turn signals and side lights. but want to build a second set more cleaner than the first set. looked over junk yard, only 1st gen is the one i took a set from

if you have a set of lights or a set of busted lenses but back holders are ok, pm me with your price and i will get back to you. you may have more trucks & broncos in your junk yard and better hunting ground than me. or you have an old parts truck that you can get these from?

and i was asked to do a write up on this. if i get 2 sets and can redo this again i will give a good write up of how its done.

thanks
 
got any pics of what you've done already?

as for ebay, yes i seen those. pretty dear in price. but will think about that... my junk yard they are 24 a pair... so i just need to wait it out when trucks show up with the side markers intact.

cheers

It is amazing the price difference at a JY between a piece of plastic that lights up and a piece of plastic that doesn't.

Might as well get new if available for about the same price. :annoyed:
 
Just out of curiosity would it be possible to change the light socket and just use a double filament bulb to do the turn signals?

you could try, but the size of holder and the size of the bulbs will be the major problems that will be found.

the ones on ebay are each, not a pair double the price...

thought about a new set then used to cut the holder out of old one... afraid to screw up a new set and be out the cost to re buy.

I have a set from an '88 B2, maybe we can work out a trade. My R2 lower amber light is cracked and would like a nice OEM unit.

hi, what is a R2 amber? if it is the front turn signals yes i have those... replaced the amber with aftermarket white.. i am game to trade if this is what you need.
 
Yes, the passenger side (R2), they are different from each other marked by the designation in the lower right corner of the lens. I can get it shipped on Monday.

I'll check and see how much international shipping is.

I have to check my unused parts box, but I'm pretty sure I have some off my 84 BII if you don't acquire any. Let me know if you need them and I'll look.
 
Fairly certain I have a set myself. Likewise if you get stuck let me know I'll rummage about see what I come up with
 
hey all.

I was able to pick up a set close by from a guy parting out a B2 and still had the lights. sent out a trade for a set. so far this is great. have 2 sets soon and will start again. willl make a "how to"...

will keep updated as this goes.

cheers
