Hey gang,
As most know I've been buying up all manner of wire and electrical bits so that when I start to wire the T, I have everything I could imagine right at my fingertips so I can weigh various layout and cabling options as I go and try to pick the best ones.
Also, I've been trying to make sure I have all the "extras & upgrades" on hand so that I can wire everything just the way I want it from the get-go, and not have to go back later and try to add wiring for upgrades or "after thoughts".
Going thru all the bits that came with my kit, I see that the headlight buckets are really basic, with ordinary 6014 bulbs, not even halogen, and there's no parking or turn signals included.
The tail / rear turn signals are equally as basic. . . . though upgrading there wouldn't add anything new to the wiring.
I haven't even thought yet about a tag light or third/anti-collision brake light, but having the wiring in place in advance, is easy enough.
Anyway . . . .
I'm going to need parking lights and turn signals in front, and finding something with a dual filament with an amber lens went nowhere, so what seemed like a good work-around was these basic single filament lights from Speedway for the turn signals, and going to these H4 headlights with amber single filament bulbs in the lower portion as a good headlight upgrade and to use as parking lights, since they'll fit right into my buckets that came with the kit..
I usually ask questions here before hitting the "checkout" button, but didn't this time. I usually view Speedway as being decent stuff, at least as far as getting what you pay for.
Should I be OK, or did I make an overly impulsive checkout decision . . . .
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
