It works fine. My car has small add-on turn signal lamps on the front bumper with incandescent bulbs. The flasher works normally.

Just ordered some off Ali Express, real cheap just to try out in my dash. Ordered some in bright white and warm white to see what looks the best at night.

Just want to set the record straight. I just received a message from Classic and Vintage Bulbs (located in Australia). They were on vacation so that's why I didn't get a reply. I've used their bulbs and am very satisfied. They set up at Hershey and have a US distributor, so it's a legit source of good quality LED for early Fords.

It's good to know they have them for 6 volt units. The last time I messed with them, (about 6 years ago), It was hard enough to find 12 volt units that would plug into the sockets. Thanks for the source info.

My latest project is a 1970 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. It is 12 volt, but it is also POS ground. So I will hopefully be able to get LED's for it.
