Harold Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I recently came across this in a box I haven't opened in years. I'm thinking it's an emergency brake warning light. The pigtail is about 7" long and there's a male bullet connector on the end. I can't find any markings on it and googled with no luck. Any idea what it fits?

D Yaros Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Looks as though it could be an -aftermarket- emergency brake light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARY F Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Has to have some parts missing for an emergency brake light. But that is what it look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 How big is it and what is the spring for? Is it a push switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordrodsteven Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) My guess would be (with that bullet end) something Ford mid fifties? possibly up into the early sixties. The original wiring on my '55 Thunderbird has those type connectors. Edited December 27, 2017 by fordrodsteven (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Spinneyhill, The spring holds the red lens and bezel into the chrome bracket. The wire is the power lead for the light bulb. There should be some kind of 'push in and turn' arrangement to access the bulb but so far I haven't gotten it open. Fordrodsteven, Now that you mention it, the connector does look 'Ford-ish'. Good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 It looks like the same light housing on this e-brake https://www.ebay.com/itm/1956-Pontiac-emergency-brake-housing-with-glass-gem-warning-light/263403148489?hash=item3d540d14c9:g:2oEAAOSwVL1V-03x&vxp=mtr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Xander, Thanks for the link. You got me going in the right direction. I started rummaging through 1955-57 GM listings on eBay and found the one below: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-Pontiac-Hand-Brake-Signal-Lamp-/232519956124?hash=item362344f69c%3Ag%3AkCIAAOSwYIVZ3j0C&nma=true&si=VGr%2BazBF0x%2FBHAAdmgbxu%2BmZ9h0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Looks like we have a winner!

8E45E Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Possibly a 1950 Studebaker. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
