6v LED Bulbs - Where to buy?
Folks,
Where can one obtain 6v LED bulbs for rear tail lights on a '48 pickup? I cant seem to find any posts here relating to it. Also is one required to change the signal unit when using LED bulbs? Thanks. |

Got mine from Amazon. Yes, you will need to change the flasher.

Here is where I bought mine. Good service no problems. Read the description very well so you order the correct color. Yes you will need to change the flasher, they sell them.

Exactamundo to the whole posting. Been there tried all of the above. White gloss paint did the trick. Not to worry.

You need to consider your flasher can as well as some rely on current draw to operate. LED's draw so little current some flasher cans are not compatible without load resistors in the lamp circuit. |

I had an issue with the new led's working in my right side light assembly and the replacement is on back order everywhere. (the led bulb wouldn't engage the socket tight enough to make the connection because my socket was worn.) Found an old assembly in my parts closet I had replaced that had a better socket and bingo, we've got brighter brake lights, parking lights, and rear directional signals!! |
