Default Re: Time for turn signals

I have what I believe might be an early or prototype version of what LogoLights currently sells (6 volt). The previous owner of my car told me that he picked the system up at a MAFCA national convention some years ago. It uses LED lamps that mount between the two bars of the bumpers. Flasher unit is a couple of switches mounted on an aluminum rectangular box, which in turn attaches to the gas tank with magnets.

I find that my lights are pretty anemic. I tried with no success to use the system to power the LED taillight replacements that I got from Snyder’s. Didn’t even light them up, and obviously no flash.

If I was starting from scratch, I’d use the upper bulb (brake light) of the rear, and either cowl lights (if you have them), in-headlamp parking lights (if you have them) or external LEDs for the front. You cannot be too bright for turn signals. I’d use a Signal Stat switch and whatever flasher will work (you may have to experiment a bit).

I have not seen a current LogoLights system in use, so the above may not currently apply. But if they are the same as mine, I can’t recommend them.

It isn't a defect, it's a feature!
