As I’m replacing the front fenders I have the option of going back to stock running lights. Currently has FJ70 ones. Good things are they are available, look kinda custom and may be less easily damaged. Are the stockers even available? This is a restomod not a restoration.

Keep what you got. Your already far from stock.

I don't believe they are. When in stock at Cruiser Corp I have gotten fj40 signals and changed the base to the fj55 base. That is for the older style. Seems like the best deal in town is to keep what you have. They look good, work good, price is right and you got a Chevy bowtie on the hood.

I think they look good. I have a set of those and was sizing them up to install the other day and didn't see a way they were going to fit without touching the fender or sticking up too high. Maybe I have the wrong kind?
Keep what you got looks great

Heat the lower edge carefully with a hairdryer and push down into fender to mold the shape , . factory ones have better plastic . ebay ones distort some . .. ran mine since 98 . still solid

When the truck came to me there was a cutout there for a sidelight, i couldnt find one i liked, so i am in the process of blocking that out (and yes, cleicos and epoxy for the backer plate).

Bob, you have probably forgotten more than I know

 

[bobm]

Thank you Sir! I think

Seems like I am in the miniority but I like the old style ones on 55's. It is something about the pig face and the little lights that I like. That being said, those do look pretty cool!
