    Today, I found a set of Pinto tail lights on ebay in Godley Texas.

    I talked to the guy and drove over to Godley and picked them up.

    He had them shined up so in order to keep them that way i sprayed them with clear Krylon Glaze.

    Last week i saw a yellow 4 door with dual sets of lights and it looked good, so after i paint my 75 the dual lights will be installed.

    Thank y'all

    THIS IS A SUPER FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dual lights?
    Like two on each side? Sounds neat.
    Be sure to post pictures.

    Dual Tail lights

    I got the idea from this forum.

    Last week there was a pict of yellow 4 door with dual lights.

    I am not sure but it may have been Stefan.

    did it look like this?? because these are bobcat taillights not dual maverick lights they are Bobcat lights. BUT if you are real good at fabricating I bet you could cut two sets of Maverick tailights and splice them together to make a set, I just don't think anyone here has tried that route yet

    I talked to someone who was doing it, and all would light up in all lenses. Don't remember who it was...

    With "None currently" as your Vehicle description, you don't sound like much of a Pinto guy;)

    Look at the picture that DaMadman posted of the Bobcat tail lights. If you really meant using duel sets of Maverick/Pinto tail lights, there wouldn't be enough room for that extra back up light per side. It would get into the gas cap, or be super close. :yup:

    I have seen that pic. It is literally using two tail lights per side. In all honesty, I don't really like it that much. But what ever you want to do.

    I saw that picture too. There is a car with two sets of lights on each side. It makes it look similar to Bobcat lights, but with an extra back up light on each side. I thought it looked pretty good.
