Quick and Easy rear amber lamp conversion for RWC

[Lucky Phil]

Hey guys on my RAT-AM for engineers I had to have Amber rear indicators......
Well I wasn't real enthused about cutting up my rear lamp lens's and fitting some Amber sections....
With that being the case I set about finding a suitable lamp to fin internally behind the factory red lens....
And this is what I came up with PART NUMBER BL-204AM which can be purchased on ebay or alike ----> http://www.ledautolight.com.au/?product=bl-204am

I simply fitted the "amber inserts" using silicon to hold in place let them set over night and wired to suit....

In Australia after certain years of manufacture, to get the vehicle registered it needs tto meet ADRs - "Australian design rules" one of those being Amber front and rear indicator lamps....

Are you able to cut it small in length?

The Amber insert you mean Ed? If so no, but I think they had shorter lamps available....

That looks great Phil. I have the same issue with my '79, so here is my fix.



I followed my niece who was driving my black Firebird the other night on one of our local night cruise evens and I could see the flashers going off like a mile away.

They stand out like dogs balls on a cat........ Super bright...... Are they fitted internally or externally

[falcon4]

Yes, just stuck to the outside.  I'm waiting on those smoked rear covers to come on the market and then they will be protected from the elements.  Only cost like 9 bucks out of china.  Works great and has been on the car for over 18 months.

The wonders of ebay and free shipping and milliseconds to search! I didn't even have anything like that in mind when I went cutting into my NOS lenses 10 years ago. In theory you wouldn't have to redo the stock wiring, only add some. I wonder if a smaller version could be used on the side markers too.

does anyone know what the minimum size is for amber indicators?

It depends how many worms are in the can you wish to open. Many cars on the road in factory condition don't even meet those requirements.
