Hey--does anyone know where I can get a set of tail light bodies that don't use the socket and pigtails? I tried to make a Mustang Steve set, but I can't get the damn things to blink. Anyway, I seem to remember from our first mustang rebuild years ago that ford replacements had wires with bullet connectors coming right out of the housing. I'm tired of accidentally bumping the pigtail and having it either fall off or move out of the "sweet spot" so I lose turn signals, brake lights or whatever. I show in daily driver, so an original trunk isn't a problem. Not having both brake lights is!

Thanks!

--Paul

I know exactly how you feel. My amp rack gave just enough room for the pigtail to be on, but not come off. I used to use a nut that wedged in between the rack and the pigtail that seemed to find that "sweet spot", but I recently just took the rack out for a while to put new pigtails in... haven't had a problem with em since I got the new ones...

Got em from NPD if I remember right.
