I finally got tired of re-seating the taillights on my wifes 63. Very loose.
Had a set of modern replacement sockets from the local discount outlet.
Drilled out the old socket. Then matched the new socket up to a drill
bit. Fastened the fixture to a piece of wood and drilled the metal out to
the right size. Trimmed out the 3 notches. Crimped in the wire connections
(already had a ground wire from a previous attempt to make more
reliable). Wrapped with good electrical tape.
Now I have a really bright turn/tail light and one that is about 1/2 as
bright. Guess I will have to do the other side now. The same size whole
fit a dodge style plug with the 3 notches and a plug in light and a mid
80's GM socket. Used the GM socket (no longer had the package, so I can
not provide a number).
Total time contemplating...hours.
Time to complete, 1/2.
Gas used...none.
