Convert 1921 Kerosene tail light to electric
I would like to convert my 1921 Kerosene tail light to electric without butchering the burner. Are there any kits available?

I'm not sure what kits there are, but i simply didn't install a burner.
Instead, just ran speaker wire in through the hole where the burner winder pokes out and dropped that into the fuel bowl where the wire made a U-turn, and connected to a bulb socket.

You can't have a kerosene brake light.

The law here says I must have a brake light.

Re: Convert 1921 Kerosene tail light to electric
Most all states have Slow Moving Vehicle laws. Now the definition is 25 MPH or slower so most model Ts could beat that but at night?. SMV laws also apply to horse & buggy vehicles that share the road with motor vehicles. They are truly SMVs. They still have to have two white forward facing lights and two red rearward facing lights but they also have to have the SMV orange reflective triangle and two flashing amber lights to be on at all times just like a farm tractor. Turn signals are optional. Many of the Amish buggies also have brakes fitted but they don't use brake lights and most only have two wheel brakes. Most lighting systems for buggies are LED and they use rechargeable electric drill type batteries with spares in the cab.
Most folks with Model Ts don't drive after dark but some like to live on the edge. I don't even like driving my model A after dark very often. Folks here in SA will run right over you if you don't go 70 mph. |
