Can anybody on here talk through the process of installing the the run turn brake custom dynamics lights with my auto electrician. Ian warned me it’s not that straightforward & the auto electrician is scratching his head.

That bus is wired with a 6 wire indicator stalk, you will need to change it to a 3 wire stalk and run a separate brake wire to the back then you can start the conversion to your fancy lights

Which type of taillights? In my 59-61 dollar lights I just siliconed them in to the housing.
Chasing any Neiman steering lock parts, will consider anything.

Ian (Wiz) made custom housings for my 55-57 tail lights.
I’ve seen others hot glue them into position.
I won’t see my bus for a couple of weeks

I just drilled a small hole in the 'U' bracket and fed the wire through until the LEDs were against the bracket. Used a little 3M double sided foam tape to hold it in place. Worked well, no silicone required. I can send you a pic later next week if you want
