Is amber cowl light glass available for 28/29
I have the amber glass in my 30 and 31's. Is it available anywhere for my 29's ? I used the glass paint but I am not impressed. Thanks Wayne

I've never seen the amber glass for 28-29. I use amber bulbs, which give the desired color light when on, but they do sort of funny reflections off the reflector when not on--at certain viewing angles, part of the glass looks amber.

Why not use amber bulbs?

Cowl lights look pretty good on 28/29 Fordors but terrible on tudors, roadsters and coupes in my estimation.

Did you paint the lens or the bulb? I painted the bulb in an aftermarket tach I installed on a non-A and it matched the OEM instrument lights perfectly - maybe it works better on smaller surfaces? |

You can go to crafts stores and buy the amber glass paint for doing stain glass. You could at one time buy small bottles in auto parts stores that did the same thing.

Krylon has a Stained Glass Amber Paint in a spray can.

I used the brush on stained glass amber / pumpkin and it looks good. Only problem is the light does not shine through !

Some store should have amber celephane that you can place on the inside of the glass lens.
