I have a customer that requested that I find out what type of lights were originally on the trunk lid of his former FHP Steeda Mustang and get them for him to fill in the holes and restore how it was when it was still in service, but I can't figure out what they are. I figured out which one was in the middle and got it for him, I just need to find out what the ones on the sides are.


Here is the picture of the rear of the car when it was still in service.

Yeah that does look just like them. Thanks, I've been trying to figure that out for a while now.


The thing in the center below the plates is a light too.. not sure what though

Maybe an FS CUDA?
 
I'm going with you all are correct on the lights L and R of the LP (though like you said the ones on NOVAs website show 5 rows, not 4 like in the pic). Below the LP I'm going with it is a FedSig Cuda horizontal 3 pack.

The 2 side ones may just be an early version of the nova ones....

They look like something cheap from overseas, the Nova SMT Series are only made in Red and Amber and are thinner and completely flat.

The screw holes on the ones on the car stick out a bit too, where as the nova ones don't. They aren't the nova ones pictured, that's for sure. Very similar though... I can't find anything close from anyone else, so it's most likely a knock off.


Now let's debate what the visor light is on the same car....

Believe it or not from the picture that is a whelen strobe visor light. FHP left the visor light hide away strobes and siren in the car. They only pulled out a couple of the lights when they sold it. I see the current owner every now and then. It does look led in the pic but the strobe one is shaped exactly like in the pic. This car was wired very poorly too. The strobes in the taillights are wired into each other so they flash together in a dumb way.

Strobe, really? The pic fooled me in 2.5 sec. I figured it was a Sound Off Gen 2 Visor light or the Whelen Flatlighter LED visor light.

My first thought was someone pulled single heads out of a FS Signal Master. They have 4 rows i believe but they are a little deeper than the Novas. I cant tell in the picture though how deep the lights are.

They don't look quite deep enough to be single traffic arrow style modules.... but I agree that does look similar.... the mounting, shape and row numbers are right...

The rear lights are Federal Signal SMLED single heads, gen 1 leds that usually last about a week before one or more rows of leds burn out.


Anyone who has purchased a bare bones E-one rig in the last 5- 10 years has probably seen them.

SMLEDs are like an inch thick... from the side shot these don't look deep enough to be SML..... but otherwsie I'd agree.

the footprint of that visor light makes it too be to be a strobe, its 100% led
Considering the owner just posted stating it was strobe, and it's his car, with the light still there...I'll trust him on the fact it's strobe... ;)

No, definitely LED. Way too big of a footprint, and the odds of catching a strobe flash with a camera are slim to none. You would be surprised how many people call LEDs strobes.

And then of course they call you stupid when you try to correct them, lol....
 
It def looks like individual LED heads on the light... but, then again, I'm not wearing my glasses.
 
id also say LED.
