Jack, have you thourght about re-chroming the inside of your housings? Vacume chrome would do the job nicely and should make your Lenses much brighter from the reflected light ( as with all new cars that have Vacume Chrome behind there Lenses ) regards George.

Imperialist Jan;
 
    I have often wondered how the light bulb from the brake which faces the rear red lens in our gunsight tail lights can present that kind of light to make the amber light in our rear views actually work/seeable.....I always thought that the engineer's should have put a tiny bulb in the other side of the brake socket to face towards the amber so that lens did not have to rely on reflected brake lights to be seen.....even after installing new George Laurie Lenses all around and even replacing the bulbs on my '56, I am still hardly able to see that amber lens in the rear on the darkest of night's...

Hi
 
My 1955 sedan has yellow lenses in the tail lights that face forward allowing oncoming drivers to see the turn signals and also the brake lights. They are also visible in the rear view mirror so the driver knows what's working.
