ive got my original tail lights but was a little bored of the look all my other friends have really cool tail lights on there cars and yet i thought the plymouth tail lights are a little bit plain to look at so i started looking around at what would fit the car without doing any major work and came across some 40's model harley tail lights at the local parts store so i pick up two of them and fliped them up side down and what do you know a perfict fit to the contour of the car wired the 12 volt lights up to my 6 volt car and used the mounting brackets that came with lights and used some red tape for the plate light linse and man does it look cool no one ever figures out what they are off of or if they are original lights for the car but people really seem to like them i wish i had a picture to share with you but i dont

Hmmm....... I think we need a picture for this one. Personally I like the stock tail lights. Nice chrome riding on the top. The only thing about them that drives us crazy is the reflectors on them. Right Johnny_S? I wondered if these were the first tail fins on a car. Evidently the 1948 Cadillac was the first car with tail fins. Maybe the 49 Plymouth is the first to have tail fins with style? :P

Reflectors ..... yep ... a real pain. Are you talking about the "mini-fin" style taillights or the "in-the-fender" style taillights. I agree that the "in-the-fender" style draw a huge "ho-hum" from me but I like the P18 taillights a lot.
