Clever way to make colored halogen bulbs. Are those mirrors plastic panels?
Yes, the bulb sleeves were something new to me. Those are glass. The mirrors are also actual glass mirror.
I'm not sure that is the case. I have had this one for a while now tooWonder if the bulb filter was a cheaper option than producing a colored lens. Interesting design for sure!
That seems logical. Oh, "logical", not always applicable to warning lights.Wonder if the bulb filter was a cheaper option than producing a colored lens. Interesting design for sure!
They were replaced by a Beacon Ray and I agree, it looks MUCH better than these bars didI hope he puts something period correct on that engine. The bars are cool and look better in your collection than on that truck IMHO.
I'd be interested in buying 2 red and 2 blue of those bulbs from you if they're for sale.Able 2 offered those colored bulbs as an option for the early halogen "hideaways". Instead of corner strobes, you could do hideaways in halogen w/ a flasher. They were basically glass test tubes epoxied to the 795X bulbs. I have a bunch left-over at the shop... I used them in a Jetstream I ran, back in the day, on my own truck. That way there were no filters in the Jet to ID my truck, kind of like an LED bar, nowadays. My own version of a "stealth unit". The reds were pretty dark but the color was true. The ambers were nice and the blues were pretty washed-out, even when they were new but that was the only option.
