    Lights on my 62 vette

    Hi all.

    Just a quick note. I just installed a new wiring harness from Lectric Limited. Everything seems to work ok. I did notice that when I tried the turn signals, they do quick flash's.Is that normal for a 62 vette? Or are the flashes supposed to be slower like cars of today? If they are supposed to be slower, could it be the flasher itself or what? This is an entire new wiring harness.

    Your help is appreciated.........Thanks...John

    Start with the flasher, remember you are flashing three lamps, mot two as the earlier c-1s, so it atkes a 3-bulb flasher.

      Thanks Bill

      I'll try that first. Is there any special numbered flasher I should use? Or does it not matter?

      Thanks...John

      PS..... I'll even try the original one I have to see if it still works. I forgot I still have it on the old wire harness.

        I'll bet the original will fix your problem, check one thing though, but check one more thing, I think repro lamps come with 2057 bulbs, and the originals were 1057s. If the original flasher works, but still cycles too quickly, try the 1057 bulbs.

          Hi Bill

          I solved the problem.It's working fine now. It was the flasher. Apparently the wiring harness came with a 2 bulb flasher and I needed a 3 bulb flasher. Only because 1961 & 1962 have 2 tail lights and 1 parking light on each side.From 1960 to 1953, they use the 2 bulb flasher. I wish they would of included both flashers.

          Oh well, thanks for your help.......John
