    I am looking for ideas on adding parking lights to my headlights buckets. I'm running headlight/turnsignal combos but was thinking I may want some lateral visibility. Attached is a pic of my bucket (white) as well as a pick I found with kind of what I'm looking for (black) but I don't know where to find something like that. Or, in your "humble" opinions, do I really need to mess with this? Thanks!

    Those on the black car are likely Guide 682 lamps, either original or reproductions. Available in the classifieds used or from various vendors in repros.

    Not sure the size of the parking/running light bulb will be bright enough to make much difference when viewed from the side. May or may not help a great deal, but sure can't hurt either.

    Just found them on Speedway! Thanks! Since I just bought my headlights, I probably won't change until they burn out. Thanks!

    Do you have any big car shows close? Most shows like Good guys will have a vendor selling some. Might save some money since you are not in a hurry.

    I wouldn't change yours at all, they are very nice.
    try to find some separate small lights you can add somewhere for parking lights.

    It's winter and you're bored. Leave it alone. I got bored Saturday and installed a set of roller rockers.:D

    I don't know much about it but, I swear I've seen a supplier for the
    turn signal/ parking light portion you could possibly add to your existing bucket.
