Nice retro look!

FYI, don't drive the car with those lights in New York State. You will get stopped and ticketed.

I'd be kind of surprised if they were legal in NJ.

I don't plan on being that far north Big John. I am dialed in with enough local law enforcement that it won't be a problem.

Not legal in Indiana either.

I like it...although how many states in the union would like it as well?

 

[Sixtynine_Bird]

Nicely done. Looks great

 

[Basketcase]

looks good.

Looks good but I'm curious. What is the idea of doing that? Is it just cosmetic, or is it for some other purpose? I don't know what the law is in CT but I know of a local cop in the next town over from me who has done that on his car!! So I'm guessing that it's legal.

Most of us have seen this added touch using amber bulbs. What's next..halo lamps...or is there something else out there on the horizon?

 

[quikbird]

yes they make halo bulbs that can be used on roadrunners

I'm going with simply cosmetic. Sox and Martin did the blue headlight thing for years. But no idea where they got the idea...

Blue is illegal here in FLA. Same for red. Other colors can be used though.

if it was good enough for Ronnie....

It's a custom car thing from the early sixties. The fad was gone by the time these cars came out. It goes along with those chrome shades that go over the top half of the headlight.

There may be a street racing connection too... You would know what car was coming at you by the color of the headlights. The guys in the sixties here used to wire the parking lights into the headlights (before that was a standard thing on cars) so you would see if it was one of the racers back at the starting line.

I love that look! I did mine with some green tint I found on the web. I had gotten the idea 10 years ago after seeing a motorcycle that had the tint on the headlight. I will get a picture uploaded in a couple days.

My 72 with the amber thanks to djais1801 for the paint.

I wasn't so in love with it once I did it...they were a 2nd set of bulbs, I already swapped them back...I may try amber.
