These fit, with minor filing to the inside lip - nothing visible has to be modified, and it's minor... and they're cheap as shit.
cheap aftermarket taillights
See toward the bottom of the page here for them installed on my pristine A108: taillights
Haha!

Oh yeah looks good. I think Harbor Freight has them too. I have also seen an LED version of those too, also at Harbor Freight.

I have seen the sealed plastic units like a semi trailer might have used also. That also requires a small amount of trimming to open the hole up for the grommet.

When I needed lens, I just used trailer light lens from Carquest. I can't speak for the housings, but the lens fit what I had so I don't see why you can't/couldn't use them.

I have the big truck buckets and lenses in it now but not happy with the look. I will also have to trim the bucket O.D. to make room for paint in the recess as it is a tight fit now. I was kinda hoping I could swap in a lense with a bullet protrusion of some kind that would be kinda 60's retro. Think Ford Galaxy tail lights on a smaller scale. If I find anything at Hershey, I will post it up.

good day at Hershey yesterday!!! 1954 ford tail light lenses and possibly buckets look like they will work. They are way cooler that the stock or big truck ones. Pix coming when I mock them up.

I went to Hershey again Tues. and got back this morning. I sold a bunch of stuff. I started going to Hershey in 1972 and have had spaces there many years.
this old van was in the same field (Chocolate) that I was in this week.

cool window van. Missed it on my hike through the chocolate field. Only saw one A100 pickup in the ground I covered. Talked to the old timer that had the truck and he must have had 10 offers on it during the 10 minutes I spent talking to him. He said he gets about a hundred a day at Hershey. Guess I wont have any trouble selling mine should the need arise.....
