VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Wiring Harness, Right-Side Taillight Arm&Turn sign

It's time to get serious about a new wiring harness for my 1931 Special Sedan. In the interest of safety I would like to install a right-side tail light arm and turn signals. How doable is this? Would the cowl lights serve as front turn signals or is some sort of temporary, removable system clamped onto the bumpers? All thoughts, suggestions and admonitions are welcome.

Best Regards,

Tom

I used the cowl lights for the front directionals and have small lights in the rear bumper for the rear. The switch is mounted on the shifter and emits a beeping sound when activated. Check post 194992 for photos. Hope this helps.

Hi Karl,

I checked out your photos. Very spiffy. Do I gather that, per your installation, a right-side tail light arm/stalk is not necessary? If so the cost of the right-side arm could be applied to the turn signal configuration you came up with. Does that bumper-mounted rear turn signal function as a brake light as well?

Best regards,

Tom

I tried using a right hand brake light but it got in the way of the rumble seat step (so we put it on my son's 4 door).
You can use the original tail light plus a right tail light as directionals if you prefer.
The small rear lights I've used can be wired to function as brake and tail lights although I did't wire for that option.
