LED bulbs!

Post by The Dude on Wed Jan 27, 2010 11:35 am

This might come in use for someone wanting to upgrade their lighting. Rolling Eyes

I know it's a site for motorcycles, but they do sell 1157 bulbs in a variety of sizes & your choice of red or amber. If you scroll down, there are more choices for non-LED bulbs as well.

When I used the 1157 type LED bulbs in my tailights my signals dont work. Anyone else have this ? I was told to use a digital flasher because there is so little resistance in the bulbs.

Might take a look at this too, The only bad part about the LEDs is having to change them all at once and switching out the flasher because the LEDs pull a lot less juice. i plan to switch to them as soon as i get the caught up on everything else.

There's a conversion chart on this site that tell you what switches out to what..

No. You only need to worry about the flasher if you are converting the turn signal bulbs.

My front side markers flash in sequence with the front turn signals, so i'd have to change everything except the rear side markers all at once or they would'nt work right.

I like the idea that someone had about making sequential rear turn signals. Sounds complicated, but interesting.

I read somewhere about a guy trying to convert a mustang sequential kit over to a G3 of some sort. He was going to mock up a panel w/LEDs on polished aluminum and use the wiring somehow...

Seeems like a lot of expense for only two bulbs per side. Might be cool though.

I was thinking of making the white part red & turning the backup into a tail/turn. Not that I would actually have the patience to do it, but it would be different. 76 & 77 models just have long enough tails that it seems like they should be sequential.

If you were going to do that, you could use the wiring for the late model mustangs, they have a three light sequential set-up. Kits not too expensive.

Don't know about the mirrors, surely someone makes them though. Here is what we are talking about, although the link is just for LED & not sequential.
