| | | side marker lights on 1980 G10 chevy van | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 | Greetings, Are the rear - red - side markers supposed to flash with the indicators?, on mine the front amber side markers do... but not the rear.. they work fine as side markers but not as indicators. Also I`d like to replace all four side marker lenses, where can I get these? All I can see on ebay is 1985 and later. thanks. | | | Re: side marker lights on 1980 G10 chevy van | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 | I've never seen rear side markers that flashed. Not saying there weren't any, just saying I've never seen them. | | | Re: side marker lights on 1980 G10 chevy van | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 | Thanks guys, that really helps.. mine are the same as the early one with the bulb to one side, I kinda like the other ones - I`ll check them out and get an order in today. | | | Re: side marker lights on 1980 G10 chevy van | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | Greetings, Are the rear - red - side markers supposed to flash with the indicators?, on mine the front amber side markers do... but not the rear.. they work fine as side markers but not as indicators. The front side markers on our '95 flash as well. If you'll notice, the front side markers flash alternately with the front indicators. They are easy to wire that way and it's a common modification. The rear side markers can be wired the same way and they will flash the same way however, because the rear indicator and the brake share the same element in the rear bulb the rear side marker would also turn off when the brake lights come on. That's the reason you never see the rear side markers wired to flash.

(`70`s) when rear amber indicators on imported cars to the Uk were mandatory, I used to take a wire from the front indicator to the rear and mount a bulb in the reverse lens housing. worked well. | | | Re: side marker lights on 1980 G10 chevy van | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | You are right Matman, you could wire the side markers together and attach the front to the indicator. That'd work. | | | Re: side marker lights on 1980 G10 chevy van | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 | cheers catfish I ordered the new front and rear sidemarkers from chevypitstop today, hope they are are good with customer service and fast overseas shipping as phileocom and AM Autoparts were last week. | | |
