Bunches of parts just listed on eBay

Not mine, just FYI. But buyer beware - many of the descriptions are incorrect:
- the clear glass lenses ARE NOT the early Patrol style. They might not even be Patrol.
- the front turn sigs and rear tail lights are both 3-wire sockets; US Patrols use 2 wires. Modifications will be necessary.
- the hood emblems are late style, non-US
- the second headlight switch listed actually looks like a wiper switch
- both the wiper and headlight switch are later style; they have the large plastic connectors
- the carb parts look like they are for the later style Hitachi carb, non-US

Have fun buying/bidding!
Beyond any hope for intervention

To all, I bought these front and rear lights listed above, I really should post this somewhere else but I'm feeling particularly lazy today. I like what I got for the price. I know they are not correct but, not much on my rig is, and it's better than trailer lights... ha....


The Clear/Yellow lights are plastic and look the part for the front of our patrols.. The back of the light fits in the hole nicely , but the mounting screw are spaced slightly different on my "new" fenders I have not looked to see if they are spaced differently on my original fenders.. And they are a three wire setup, Ground, Park and turn??.. I assume.. Also be informed if you were to use Aussie lights and convert them I also ran into the hole location issue, but I also had to rewire the AU lights.

The Rears are plastic and the cheapest solution for something that looks original. These are much cheaper than the "hot rod" pontiac lights I've used in the past. Both these lights and the pontiac lights required me to open up the mounting holes in the tub.. so beware. Although these would appear to be a little more water proof than the pontiac lights...
