I could never understand why GM made two reflector buckets in the 2nd Gen S-series turnsignal lights and then just leaves one empty. And of course when you get the clear turnsignal lights it looks even more noticable. So I decided to fix this small shortcoming.
First I got a couple pigtails for $1 each at a recent swap meet.
I took the TS assemblies, layed out some Dykem fluid, made a center mark and eventuall drilled a pilot hole.
Next using a step bit, enlarged the hole to 5/8".
Using a couple small flat files and notched the hole for the two tabs on the bulb socket.
The TS bucket material is too thick for the sockets to turn and lock so the back of the bucket needs thinned and flattened all at the same time.
It's pretty much file, test fit, file some more, test fit, etc until...
One done, now to do the other side.
Both done...
Installed...
I just need to wire them and buy some amber bulbs to compliment my amber TS bulbs.
Later, Doug
