I listed one in post #13. I'm working on 20 fixtures and the new replacement bulbs are all the same brightness. All I have to do is look up and I know which ones are retrofitted.
I like LEDs, don't get me wrong...much more energy efficient, almost no heat...I swapped out most of the interior lights in my Grand National with blue LEDbulbs, they're brighter than ordinary white bulbs and give it some character.
...they all replaced on the car, but the end result was the previous owner put in led stop and turn bulbs. Took them out and installed non ledbulbs and the cruise worked again. The led's made the electronics in the car not work properly. True story. I watched the progress on the car. Sometimes...
I have a package of those FEIT CFLs, not crazy about em but they were free. I could have taken dozens of packages years ago but I knew they would outlast me and better tech was on the way. Later I found smart bulbs from the same company and the smart part of them died and went unsupported...
Daniel Stern wrote that the LED drop in bulbs like these:
Actually put out less light than the 1157s that they replaced. That is disappointing.
On a side note… Jigsaw lost brake lights. The fuse was fine and the wires were still connected.
I pulled the wires and jumped them together…...
Did anyone have an issue with resistance replacing all the bulbs with LED? I heard or read that the low resistance can cause an issue. Read to leave two incandescent bulbs in place?
This info was originally from a Cobra Replica manufacturer who promoted them as a painless swap for 1157 tail light bulbs for better visibility. Like a lot of older cars the Cobra lights have had problems with LEDs and flashers. I’ve managed by hook or crook to get some form of LEDs in the...
Well I finally got the 71 back into the shop. I was able to get the taillight housings somewhat fixed so that I can run normal style bulbs. As some of you remember I went down this whole LED light panel route and while it would work for sure it was just getting to be a PIA having to wire in and...

If you have the model of the switchback bulb I can design a diagram.
However per what you are describing you are needing or wishing a front parking light system divorced from sidemakers and tail lights (well, being 69 you don’t have to worry about side markers really), then being turned in as...
:rofl: :rofl: If you buy the cheapies at Wal Mart, you can fill the box up with bad ones and tale them back. Save the receipt but maske a copy of it. The Print on the original receipts will disappear after 6 months. I spent more and bought GE LED's last time. I'll see how long they last. I...
We don't always drive in just the daylight. Who wants brighter headlights?
A couple years back, I added the headlight relay kit offered by a fellow FABO/FBBO member. This kit is strongly recommended if you have standard sealed beam headlights but considering the drastic reduction in current...
Octanes are way brighter with their 40w bulbs. Depending on your charging system with the headlights on high you’re going use up around 13 amps with a set of Octane 40w bulbs. With the Holley 30w bulbs it’s around 10 amps total. Holley and Octane both have a weaker set of bulbs if you want to go...
In my Valiant I have a power master and with the A/C on high, condenser fan on turn signal on my brake lights will bring it below 12v at idle in gear. Think I'll change the stop bulbs to LED. The test sheet that came with the alternator shows they don't put out that much at idle.
...the (2) flashers was the current rating was higher for the 4-way part, designed to handle higher continuous current/switching..
Regarding the use of LEDbulbs and flasher operation, LEDbulbs present a lower resistance load and typically require a special flasher..
Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:
...a #67 or #89 bulb will work, but when I search suppliers, the 1156 is also listed. I am concerned I will end up with another pair of LEDbulbs that are too bright. Anyone have any experience successfully finding a good replacement LED bulb for the inner tail lights on a 69 Charger?
Thanks...
