    Bugeye wing side panels - lights or reflectors?

    I have a set of screw holes on both my left and right front wing side panels. I have seen pictures of both, but what should I put there? Reflectors or side running lights?

      If your truck originally had side lights each fender would have 3 screw holes and a big hole for the bulb holder to stick through.

      Sounds like it came with reflectors only.

        You guys are right...probably not lights. I will start sourcing some reflectors..unless anybody here has some for sale.

            Not sure how helpful this will be in your quest, but here is a picture of the reflectors on my 69 bugeye:

                They look like the same reflectors (albeit in red) that came on the back tub corners of 1970+ trucks (like mine - see avatar above). They should be relatively easy to source.

                PM me if you can't find them- I may have extras.
