Questions about this item

How much heat does the 12 V 1157 bulb generate when the tail light runs all day?

The 12 V 1157 bulb is a standard incandescent type; it will warm the red glass lens and black powder-coated housing during extended use, but the stainless steel rim helps dissipate heat.

What wiring must my 1938-39 vehicle already have for the green and black nylon wires to connect?

The assembly includes green and black nylon wires ready to join the existing 12 V tail-light circuit; your vehicle needs a matching two-wire harness with a compatible connector or splice points.

Will the 5.7 x 4.6 x 2.8 inch housing bolt directly to the original mounting points on my 1938-39 Ford?

Yes, the dimensions and OEM reference 81A-13405 match the factory tail-light location, so the black powder-coated housing aligns with the original bolt pattern.
