    There is no way that is street legal…

  2. Olligarski says:

    Turn signal!

  3. RioRyan says:

    looks like a turn signal to me. Reminds me of my custom headlight. I’ll have to e-mail it in for you guys.

  4. Akkhima says:

    Needs foil in the back.

    @Heledir

    “street legal” on a turn signal, clearance lamp? Where’s the problem? It’s visible, protected from the weather, and a LOT cheaper than a “proper” fix. The person who did this is no fool.

  6. Waldobaby says:

    to the site operator: this comment bot is not picking up avatars properly.

  7. dono1 says:

    Makes sense. His door’s probably ajar too.

  8. Laminar says:

    @ dono1…

    Fantastic.

  9. Kinsak says:

    Genious!

    @ Waldobaby

    In most states (in the US), a lamp assembly is required to be reflective, not just light up, in order to be DOT legal.

  11. Heledir says:

    @Waldobaby

    I can guarantee that car would not pass inspection

  12. rubbar says:

    Maybe he has the reflective material on the lid :O

  13. Bolomkxxviii says:

    Glass jar, plumber’s strap, zip ties and a hose clamp. I guess this is not intended to be a temporary fix.

  14. Brian says:

    I saw the same idea, but done better on the EnglishRussia Blog. The bottom of a popular brand of pickle jar ( if I recall correctly ) fits either the tail light or headlight of the the mostpopular Soviet era car – and is less likely to crack in the weather extremes that makes the real part liable to need replaced.

  15. “Peanut butter and jelly time… Peanut better and jelly time… “

    We new a guy (Doug) at FoMoCo Ypsilanti (MI) plant that did something very similar to this. He had an old Chevy Celebrity that had some pretty bad front end dammage. It took a replacement sealed beam headlight, still in the box and duct-taped it in place. Unbelievable!!!
