Aftermarket Parking / indicator Light Option for 83 Berlinetta

Hi all from New Zealand, I've had this car for about 20 years and after a few burst of activity; repaint with louvred hood and rear lip spoiler, and a reconditioned 350 sbc, headers with 3" exhaust, 18" rims, megashifter .... I am now doing another burst, putting some 64cc alloy heads on it, 1.6 rollers, rpm air-gap intake and avs2 carb with a low profile plenum dual air intake. Going to be bugger all clearance but from my mock up should just sneak in, or not lol.

Anyway, amongst all of the other things needing doing, the factory park lights are a bit tired and one side has some stone damage. Can't seem to find any good originals and was wondering if anyone has come across any suitable aftermarket park / turn signal lamps that will fit nicely in there?

Cheers.

Do you have the yellow or the clear turn signals? I can look around in local junkyards but those don’t seem to come around too often.

Hi there. thanks for the offer! I have the clear ones with the plastic piece going across. even if I can get one good one would be great.

Been looking for a dual function 3 x 5 led option , but only thing I have found is one intended for trucks ....

Re: Aftermarket Parking / indicator Light Option for 83 Berlinetta

We are working on something for 1982-84 Camaros that will have a fog light and turn signal indicator as one assembly. The fog light we're using isn't scheduled to be available until late August/early September so still a couple of months away from being ready to sell. We just got a 1983 Z28 and noticed there isn't much available other than used for those. We will be sure to post an announcement here when they are further along. Attached is a pic of fog lights we made for 1985-92 Camaros.

That looks great, will be keen to see what you come up with. Would definitely like something a little bit more modern like you have done here. Add me to the queue ;-)

Finally got the lights in stock from manufacturer, working on how to mount them. They are quiet a bit smaller than the bumper opening so working on possibly making a lens so that isn't visible.

The lights I was planning on using are not going to work, looking for an alternative currently.

Re: Aftermarket Parking / indicator Light Option for 83 Berlinetta

You can always retro fit the truck LED boards to your stock lamps. I did something similar with my 84z28 and later to my 89 RS front markers. Both of those differ from each other and from yours as well.
