Even if they were, how would you wire them?

Probably 16 gauge wire. But that's just my guess

Ya I would like to see a wiring diagram for these. The ad was from Italy. I wonder how many countries these where required in?

I guess I just can't imagine where the wires would come out of the pillar and run. Away from bus at the moment....

Really, I wonder if it is up through the A-pillar along the roof line and down the B-pillar?

Probably the same routing as the dome light I'd imagine.

And connect to the front turn signal circuit. |

An interesting mod. I think someone here modded the front reflectors so they light up. That would be cool, too.

I've located and will be installing a pair of these on my double cab:
They are Hella, but made in India.
I even got some amber festoon LED bulbs to put in them.
Like the one in this photo, but perhaps a bit lower:
Should I go below the belt line, I wonder?
EDIT: I, wait, I can't go below the belt line on a double cab. It would interfere with the crew cab door...

The picture at the top indicates they were below the belt line.

Mine are on my '72. I just bought the base for the rear side lights and the front lens covers fit right in. |

You had to drill three holes though?

Just one hole for the wires. The base screws in using the reflector base's holes. |

For the pillar lights that I was talking about above, you're going to have to drill 3 holes: one in the center for the wiring, and two others that might best be tapped to mount the light.
I finally got a bunch of these, and have them in the classifieds if anyone is interested.
