A great option for LED bulbs in taillights.

[AR67GTX]

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 tail lights of my old cars including my GTX, with the exception of my 66 Satellite. Despite a drawer full of various types none worked in the tail lights of the Satellite and I also tried a HD solid state flasher too, which was of no help. So I bought a pair from Amazon and stuck them in this morning and they worked great. They are a red LED so not only are they bright but they are bright red too. One thing noticed is they are substantial in heft - definitely not a cheesy piece of cheap plastic and LED lights stuck in a 1157 base.

Thanks. I will bookmark this and can order some. Too bad my 66 Dart has different tail lights in the quarter and deck lid. Same candle power in the deck lid as the tail lights in the quarter. Anything different and it looks goofy. I need to rewire the deck lid for 1157's. Turn signals and tail lights on both sides. I followed my friend with his 70 Bee and damn his rear lights sucked. It wouldn't hurt us to upgrade the light systems on our old cars. May be some good headlights and a Crackedback relay system.

I have used various Amazon purchased LED's for tail lights, backup, signals, interior & the dashboard. All have worked fine.

It looks like my original posting had some issue with the attachment such that while it looked OK on my end, it wasn't coming through on some (or anyone else’s) computers. JR Charger & gkent - sorry for the less than helpful initial responses above. My bad.

No link but the screenshot came through. That name and description should get us there.

The internet's been funky the last couple days. I'm sure that's the problem.

If you‘re like me you’ll be surprised by their heft when you get them. I know that isn’t automatically an indicator of quality but in this age of cheap plastic, disposable stuff, it was sort of pleasing. Kind of like hefting a nice, all steel 45 auto versus the latest, mostly composition 9 mm auto.

They said 2 left before I ordered. Did they say one left or were they fooling me.

I've had good luck with these Amazon 1157 Red replacements.

Nope, it's a forum-specific phenomena. You can see a link for a split second when the page loads,
but it quickly disappears.

I've been having trouble on other sites I frequent.

I'm not sure Fran. I didn't try to order any. I just clicked on the Amazon icon in the first post to read about them. Looks like they're still available.

I run the Yokim brand I found on Amazon. Easily three times as bright when comparing against my garage door.
