    IMG_5460.JPG Does anyone know what these lights came off of? The lenses are a light purple. Maybe they were originally clear and turned purple with age.

    Look like 48 Mercury parking lights. Some clear glass tints purple with age.

    old glass has magnesium in it, long time exposure to the sun turns them purple.
