i have the lights, just not the wiring harness yet, im getting close tho, found a 98 in a salvage yard with the lights still on it, the owner is gonna check for & get what i need from that vehicle somewhere in the arizona desert, he said wires often rot over the years so i may have to have it resored some in order to use it if possible

There is a responce to a thread I posted from fall 2019. Parting 71 98. Another member explains to me that the harness for those lights starts at turn signal switch. And I was joking with you, you bought the lights from me on Ebay.
I sold a bunch of parts from that car, needed space for the next one, sold it to a demo derby guy.
I just gave him what was left of a 75 d88 coupe for a 455 Buick.
I will text him and see if he still has the 71 98, and if he will remove the harness & sell it to you.

Pm sent. He has the car still .

Happy new year.
Did you get what you need?
If not, I found a 72 with the optional turn signal lamps.
I may buy it Saturday. Lmk.

Unfortunately, I did not get the car. It was in a real bad neighborhood, I was stepping on crack viles.
it was in far worse condition than the pictures let on,, Rat feces in the interior, no keys,, and an engine fire, bad body work and a shitty paint job.. I was there and i got him down to within reason on price. The main problem was I could not get my trailer into the back yard, and due to the condition, I wasn't going to put forth the effort to jack it up, and undo the shift linkage, put air in the tires, and push it out into the street. There where only 2 of us, and he was an older guy. All of this coupled together, I wasn't heartbroken about keeping my money in my pocket, if the neighborhood wasnt so scary, I'd go back for it, but that ain't happening. I'm sorry .

i feel ya on that one jim, good looking out tho,i appreciate u checking with me too, if i ever get those lights up and going i'll let ya know & post a pic of my new look olds

bigdooly

Did you contact the guy I sold the 71 I took the lights from?
He said he'd help you out. I thought I pm'd you his # a few weeks back.

bigdooly

Kyle may go pick up that 98 that I passed on. It most definitely has the optional lights.

71MidwestDelta88

the harness i have is complete except one of these sockets, maybe this photo helps, hopefully kyle grabs that 98 & hopefully he has a hazmat suit too

bigdooly

Both of them where on the car when it left my driveway. I was going to remove them, but I just wanted it out of my way, it was here for over a year.
I'm sure Kyle will take care of you, if not, lmk I will remind him. He seems very interested in getting the car, and I already negotiated the price down for him, so, we shall see.

i dont think i know which user here kyle is, if hes a member can u have him contact me, if not id be more than happy to pass along contact info for him to call, text or email me, thx

bigdooly

Kyle is not on the site. Kyle is the Kid I sold the 98 to. The 98 you got the lights from. Didn't I messages you his #?
I thought you got the harness from him.
Anyway I haven't heard from him. He will probably text me if he ends up getting 98 #2, the one I passed on.
I assumed you where in contact with him.

71MidwestDelta88

sorry bout that, im so old id forgotten the details of dealing with him, i'll just send him a text message & ask, thx

bigdooly

No problem. Good luck.
