Re: blue dot tail lights
I was under the impression ( from what those dastardly old hotorodders told me) is that those were first popularized by the cars that no one could "come up on" from behind and drivers who did not WANT to be seen well- after passing! In my lifetime they have been adopted by cruisers so it took a while for me to understand the true (possibly hitherto unspoken) purpose on hot rods. They're like kinda the polar opposite of fuzzy dice in my mind when checking the "style" or "vintage" of a build- cruising vs. Street racing....

Re: blue dot tail lights
Google tells me that blue dot tail lights were stock on the 1932 Cadillac. Rumbleseat mentioned that in one of his road trip stories. ..B.

Re: blue dot tail lights
Blue dots will get you a ticket in Virginia. From what I understand blue lights are only okay on cop cars.

Re: blue dot tail lights
I found a set of "Green" Dots for my 50 Coupe years ago. I found out that you need to find bulbs with the same orientation ( filaments/ tangs)so you get the best light from them. Have been using them in Wisconsin for 30 years and never have been stopped (although they are illegal).
