can anyone post a picture of the front signal light with the lens off. I would like to see what the end of the fibre has on it. Thanks

Grant, As I told you when we talked, my car is stored at an off site garage but I have sent a message to a member who isn't on the boards very often but he did add the fiber optic system to his 70 a few years ago and am waiting for his response.

Grant, I did hear back this evening.  CK told me his are for sure clear and he confirmed what I had told you, the clear fiber optic picks up the amber color from the bulb and brings the color to the clear eye in the lens mounted on the fender.  I suspect you may be able to remove the amber paint or color that someone put on yours and get it to work and glow in the eye lens on the fender just from the amber light.  Let me know how it works out for you.  If worse comes to worse you may be able to use some fiber optic line and splice it in.

Hi Rob

The amber ends a colored right through, I have seen them advertised as corvette ends. I grabbed some fibre from a wrecker a few days ago and it was a buick with clear ends on the signal lite housing so I will see if I can adapt them to work in mine.

Thanks
