Does Replacement 69 Camaro Billet RS Tail Light Need Light Housing??
 
I'm looking for an Billet RS tail light that does not need the tail light housings to mount the replacement lens assembly. Is there a billet replacement RS tail light set that doesn't need the bucket/housing?

I have none of the lights, hardware, wiring, nothing..... And if I'm spending over $300 for a billet tail light set, I don't want to drop more money for the housing and stud kit if I don't need to.

I'm going to go with a custom wiring harness, so I'm not worried about any old wiring connections to the light assembly. I don't think that housing is needed with LED's, as there is no need for the reflector in the housing. Also, I'm mocking up the roll cage bracing in rear of the car and I'd like to run the bracing close to the tail panel as possible so I can hide the bracing behind a speaker box enclosure.

I've checked most of the popular sites, Fesler, Billet Specialties, Marquez, etc. and no info about installation or parts needed from the stock configuration!! :mad: So............ I need some help.

I think all the manufacturers you mentioned assume you'll use the stock buckets. I think you could fab up slimmer ones for LEDs.

The housing is required because it holds the bezel in place and the leds. The billet units are designed to be installed just like the factory parts were that are being replaced.
