Can anyone share a photo of what the original tail lights looked like for a 1963 Shasta 16sc? Mine were replaced- and I'd like to find ones like the originals, but don't know what they look like.
Thanks once again !
Kathy

Can someone clarify something for me regarding these lights? The "number 98" version of these has a single 1157 bulb which has filaments for both (1) running light and (1) brake/turn signal. Basically it's all that you need in a tail light. But the "number 99" version has two light sockets. One takes an 1157 bulb (which as mentioned has all that you need in a tail light), and it also has a socket for a "67" bulb. What's the 67 for? Is it an additional running light?
I've bought the "number 98" because I never saw the need for the extra bulb socket, but maybe that wasn't a good choice?

On some model campers the #67 bulb acted as the light for the license plate. Not shown above, the lenses would have been different for the two different lights. The #99 would have a clear section in the side so the "extra" bulb illuminated the plate.

Thanks for the info Ten. Unfortunately it looks like VTS did not faithfully reproduce the “99” lense if it was originally as Ten describes. I have a brand new set of the “98” complete assemblies, and as the ad linked above mentions the lenses are marked “99”. These lenses do not have the clear spot that Ten mentioned, so keep that in mind if you order the “99” set (or lense) hoping to illuminate your license plate because it won’t work very well.

Probably getting a little off the original topic, but here’s supposed to be an original wiring diagram for both versions of the light (not my picture):  Someone will need to interpret it though because my eyes (or brain?) can’t quite make sense of it. |

Did some cars used to have separate wires for the brake and turn signal? That appears to be the situation covered by the last wiring diagram.
And you’re welcome Kaffi! Sorry to have dragged it off topic.

I just posted this in another thread. It's a great (and correct) diagram of the Universal RV 7 way code: <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/53634851@N03/42717525772/in/dateposted-public/" title="7 way diagram"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1728/42717525772_629db0e2c5.jpg" width="500" height="335" alt="7 way diagram"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |
