'69 teardrop sidelights interchange

[jhayden]

Fedtro was a Japanese producer of auto accessories in the 1960s, and hired Mickey Mantle to endorse their products (bonus points if you recall which company sold numerous products endorsed by Ted Williams). These turn signal flashers predate and are a near ringer for the ’69 teardrop sidelights, with the same dimensions, and will cover the factory cutout in the ’69 fenders. The individual components (lens, gasket, base) are not interchangeable, only the assemblies. They require only two screws to mount and a single hole for the hot wire (a fender washer mounted inside the fender will secure the front mount if you already have the factory cutout).

Too bright as is to use as running lights, but some forum members have converted their EW sidelights to work with their turn signals – these require no mods to serve that function.

When you find them, expect to pay about fifty bucks for a nos pair with shiny chrome, new gasket and new electrics.

Ferrari 250 275 / Lancia Stratos teardrop side marker lamps are direct size and mounting hole replacements.

Good info Jon, of course finding them might be difficult.
Sears and Roebuck, how many bonus points do I get, and more importantly where can I redeem them.

You nailed it, Mike! Redeem at your local Sears store.
