Mr mopar Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I'm looking for These, I know the Lonestar has them, but dose anyone Resin cast them or Photo etch.
vincen47 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I have searched high and low for those specific oval marker lights. My only suggestion is look at Czech Truck Model, they have very nice etched marker lights with colored lenses in red and amber. I've ordered several sets. They are the best modern US style marker light I've found, though they are not the sleek oval design, but more boxy. The lights come in multiple pieces, so you can leave off the outside guard, and they are still low profile w/ a chrome bezel. They also have several very nice interior and exterior photo etched detail sets for US trucks. czechtruckmodel.com
Mike Kucaba Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I'll have to do some research on this,but I believe I've seen a photo-etch door handle that with a dab of amber or red tinted epoxy might work. I think thay were Detail Master.
Mr mopar Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I could go this route ,from A&N plus the glass lense ! Edited September 10, 2014 by Mr mopar
highway Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Doug, depending on the truck you are thinking of putting then on, the Millennium style lights may or may not be your best choice. If it is a newer rig like the Lonestar, then yes, because they are more or less factory equipment, but I think for an older truck the "double bubble" lights Cary posted may be a better choice. Don't get me wrong, the Millenniums look nice on older rigs too, but the double bubbles are also offered now in LED for the modern light brightness but the retro look.
Mr mopar Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 What i need them for is a 2002 Freightliner Coronado .
highway Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Yeah, Doug, the Millennium would be the best choice then. I had a 2002 Classic back in the day that I leased from a joke of a company (otherwise known as worst mistake ever! ) and that was also when the pre LED Millenniums were just hitting the market and it came with the factory installed Millenniums. One other question, are you doing the lights as a factory installed set or driver installed? If it's driver installed, it may open your options for lighting choices, but factory installed kinda limits you to the Millenniums.

Petetrucker07 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 My guess would be blue or red. The white didnt have classic freight shakers to lease

Mr mopar Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 Just got some good news from Jan at Czech truck models ,there doing chicken lights for the Volvo Vn in Photo etch . Will be out sometime 2015 .
highway Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Werner, England or Swift? My guess would be blue or red. The white didnt have classic freight shakers to lease Well, we will just see how closely we pay attention here!!! Of those three, there is one I never worked for and would give up my CDL before I did, one that I did work for and would never go back to again because of the lease, and one that I have worked for twice, the last being in 2012. Obviously if you guess the one I worked for in 2012, they would not be the one I had the lease at.

highway Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 It's gotta be England and their 'fleece' program. DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! I did have a two tone blue Classic as well the first time I worked with Werner, but it was the red one I made the truck payment on. Three months of my driving career I really would wish I hadn't done, some of the stupid things we do when we were young!

Many guys have been burned by England. Look at it this way though, lesson learned and now you have a better job.
vincen47 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Just got some good news from Jan at Czech truck models ,there doing chicken lights for the Volvo Vn in Photo etch . Will be out sometime 2015 . More lights, good news! but I wonder what style they will be? The oval, Millennium style?
Mr mopar Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 More lights, good news! but I wonder what style they will be? The oval, Millennium style? Jan said they will be the Millennium style.
vincen47 Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Excellent. Jan makes some great stuff and they ship fast too. I hope they continue to expand the North American product line.
Petetrucker07 Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 This ? is lights related. Does anybody make the bullet style roof lights, im mainly looking for the lenses.
vincen47 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 what is Czech located at?? czechtruckmodel.com
