I am installing turn signals on my car. I am using the cowl lights for the front. Does anyone a source for a 6 volt assembly for the rear?

On my '41 p-u I am using the original 6 volt brake lights but with double filament incandescent bulbs for 64 CP total each bulb. My turn signal switch has 8 wires.

I use an LED bar in the rear window.
That is where people look for your brake lights

I mounted a RH tail light the same as the LH one and used the brake light portion of both.

Never heard that one before, I guess I'm just old school.

I'm running these turn signals in the bumpers:

They look decent and work well.

I use 6 volt double filament incandescent cowl lights and led s for the tail lights. I know the led s are not original looking but in today's traffic i want them to know when I'm slowing down, turning or stopping. They are a lot more visible and people seem to react a lot faster after I installed them.

The cowls or parks are fine for the front.

What is wrong with using what you have for the rear ? [ assuming you're using two lights in the rear].
If you want to convert to LED in the rear then all the vendors seem to have them.

Like Katy said on my 41 the signal kit runs the rear wires off the brake light switch and you use the brake lights for the rear turn lights
