RE:

The source I have used previously appears to not carry them now - JC Whitney 01ZX4780B.
Anybody have a source for these?

TIA

Go to E-Bay they are cheap. I installed the ones with 3 wires, flasher and marker yellow in front and red in back.

Thanks flash2002,
I had not seen that brand before. The mounting post in the middle did not seem familiar.

Finally found the one that the article in Shop talk was referencing; that I used previously; that I apparently forgot... uglystupid2

Show Chrome "Amber LED Marker Light", # 16-107A.  About $40; several places carry them; but Amazon gives you quick and free shipping with Prime membership. Made in Taiwan.

That said, I may try your source for a comparison; it looks identical, except your version is 3 wire (preferred) and the Show Chrome is 2 wire.

But... how the hell do they sell these (a pair) for $6.11, with free shipping from frickin China??? Shocked
Heck, I have a hard time getting out of Starbucks for less than that...

If you ground a two-wire to signal ground, they'll flash with signals (run - turn), I think.

One wire is ground one park and one flasher or brake. I paid mine  $2.95 and free shipping and they work great. The back ones I drill a hole for the stud and wire and the front I cut off the stud and stuck with two way tape.

The bag is slightly curved. The ebay markers are flat. Will the markers fit flush?

Yes, because where the lights go it's flat unless you have jobber bags.

I used the ones from JP cycles.  With the old reflector completely removed they do not fit the recess perfectly
(BUT VERY CLOSE)
What I did was break off the colored protion of the reflector leaving only the black base of the reflector then stuck the light onto that part.  This way the adhesive gets good contact and it will not come off.

People think because they pay more there better, think about it , they all come from the same place ( China )  The ones I got work great look good and were cheaper than most dealers.
