Me again…Here’s my 67’ Dodge Coronet R/T. Although you can’t see it in the pics due to my camera’s intense flash, this model has working headlights! I was feeling ambitious one day so I took a trip down to my local surplus store. I bought two small white LED’s, some wire, a small switch, a battery terminal and a battery. To tell you the truth, I can’t remember what kind of battery I used. anyhoo, I drilled out the headlight buckets and mounted the LED’s with some two part epoxy. I borrowed a soldering iron from work and attatched the wires, running them along the inside pannels to the trunk. The switch was mounted back there as well, it is barley visable in the chasis, its between the rear frame rail and the inner quarter pannel…stealthy! The battery mount was than mounted and everthing was soldered. It turned out so great, it surprised the heck out of alot of people at the model show in London Ontario…didn’t win anything with it though. It’s actually quite brite, you could use the thing as a flash light in a pinch.
I didn’t use as many aftermarket parts on this one, just the tail pipes, bare metal foil for the chrome and rad hose using wire and heat shrink with aftermarket attatchments. I fabbed up a dip-stick using fine guage wire and also added an antenna. If anyone has any questions on how to attempt this headlight jazz, don’t hesitate to ask. Stay tuned!
