By Gerry - 14 Years Ago I removed the gage cluster for a good clean-up. The little green tabs that are taped into place for the directional lights, what kind of tape would one use to hold them in, must be something special i would think? Could they be glued in with epoxy or super glue? Thanks for the help.  Gerry By rgrove - 14 Years Ago what year is your car?  Tee bird or fairlane?  When i did my fairlane, I eventually figured out that the gel and bezels for the turn signals of my 56 sunliner were the same as the t-bird (maybe a 57 t-bird?  Not sure)  I got them from tee-bird products, and replaced the chrome bezels, then used cellophane tape to hold in the green inserts.  depending on overlap, you could also use a good super glue (i.e. zap-a-gap vs. drug store super glue) carefully applied. By bird55 - 14 Years Ago funny, this just occurred to me last weekend on my old 64 f100. The cellophane tape from the factory was toast and just fell apart. I used a thin coating right over the top of the colored plastic film from my hot glue gun. transparent and flexible. Worked great! At the time I thought, i should take a picture and do a post about it but thought, nah, who would care! By Gerry - 14 Years Ago It's a 56 car and the tape is really discolored must be blocking out lots of the light. Just thought while it was apart I would change the tape or glue good point Thanks for the help.  Gerry
