Default Colone lights

I have a hard time justifying $50 for wecohe colone lights. Has anyone scratch built one or found cheaper version. Thought I saw a post few months ago but thread search didn't bring up anything.

That's the rear light, correct? Yeah ... you're paying for the PE, but at $39.00 it's not too bad. I thought I'd seen one at Welsch Dragon for around $20.00 for a HL. Looked like white metal and the bulb included.

It's called a "column light" usually blue on a german tank.....Put on the left rear so the tank behind could see them while in a Column....LOL

The spacing of the light bars in the light assembly were designed to allow the following driver to stay the proper distance. If he could see the 4 vertical bars, he was too close. If all he could see was blue light, he was OK.

I was using the german american enuciation (LOL). I saw it spelled like that because I double checked last week, now I don't remember where it was. Thought it was wecohe.

Oh, it was. Get them to take the VAT off for you, it might be a little cheaper.
