Hello everyone,
So I have a question about the re wiring of my 1951 cozy cruiser. I recently pulled it into town to get an estimate on rewiring the brake/tail lights because it currently doesn't have any that work. I was -- very rudely -- told that the whole project was impossible and not worth my time or efforts. They told me that even if I were to rewire the existing lights to a workable condition it would still be a failure because the lights would only show braking and turn signals (not a constant light that would be visible at night). They tried to sell me very large new-age RV lights and told me to toss the originals. I was very disheartened by this advice, but not discouraged. I have been doing some research but need some more information, is this in fact true that the tail lights will not be visible at night unless braking or turning if the original tail lights (they are small with one bulb) are used? If this is the case is there a way to fix the problem? Also is it true that the original lights (once rewired) will be too dim? Please give me any advice on what to do and/or what not to do! Thank you in advance!!!
