Re: Adding ritght side tail light
This is a timely post as I also plan on adding a second tail light to my car. However, my car is RHD, so I've got the original tail lamp on the right side and will be adding one to the left side.
My car is a Phaeton, and I was able to pick up a very nice original left side tail light bracket for the project. My intention is to simply measure and mark where the right side tail light is currently located, and then match that on the other side.
Luckily (and what gave the impetus to do this) is that my new wiring loom came with wires for both tail lights, so there was no need for any major changes to the loom.
The only issue I have is that I have drum tail lights, and unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a right or left side single tail light. So, I plan on simply mounting a second tail light with the license plate holder...I don't think I have any other option. I've thought about cutting off the license plate holder to make it more aesthetic, but haven't wanted to butcher any of my original Duolamp holders. Maybe at some point I'll get a reproduction or one in relic condition and try it out.
