James, Mif-Fifty F100 Parts sells LED models but they are not cheap ($110 per pair). Their number is 800-252-1956. Very nice people to deal with as well.

I bought mine from RB's Obsolete www.rbsauto.com They worked well in my 40 Pickup and had both tail light and brake light features. Dave

...I made my own. Not that difficult. Went to the dump and got a couple of interior lights from a late 60's Ford pickup. Trimmed down the excess metal and brazed the socket into a piece of 3/4 inch conduit. then got a couple of red LED bulbs. Thread the wire thru the rolled tube, the conduit piece fits perfectly in the roll. Drill a small hole in the bottom of the roll to attach the conduit piece with a sheet metal screw. wire into electrical and your done. I wired these in to be a third brake light.....

...Results...Daytime no lights



....Dusk with brake lights...



.....Night just tail lights...



...And night time brake lights....
