Default using front signals as rear signals.

Anyone have a cheap alternative to be able to mount these signals to the rear struts?

What can I use to mount them though. I have the side mounts but they don't work with them.

not sure what you plan on doing, but you can remove the rubber sealer and light assembly from the front signals and put them into the rears. I'm assuming your just looking for a dual filament?

I had two front chrome lights and two black fronts with bad wiring. I took the guts from the chrome lights and put them in the black ones. I had them mounted but didn't like how easy they moved. Couldn't get them super tight. If you pushed up or down the light would move up or down.

Well I figured out a solution. I used a bolt that is threaded on both sides one side is short with a washer that's attached and longer on the other side. The nut acts as a spacerand I locktited the side that feeds into the light. Now its all on and working. I now have rear blinkers again. Yay.
