That's where I bought my LEDs and transistors from. Very helpful and smart people there. For some reason, they don't have a shop online but they do ship.
I run LEDs on my dash. (bright light indicator, turn signals, etc.) However, mine are twelve volt. Mine are custom. I had find the colors I wanted, (of course) and then determine how bright I wanted them and then buy the corresponding transistor and solder it on. it sounds like a bit of work, but I did find it to be cheaper then buying it pre-made. |

Thanks Phil! Great movie, even better character!
I have my '63 converted to 12v and use LED's in all my indicator lights (brake and turn). Very satisfied. I use 45-LED 1157 & 1156 style bulbs from the website listed above. The color is what I would call more "crisp". I use the same bulbs in amber for front turns.
An issue you might run into using LED's for turns is your flasher relay's voltage draw trigger. Regular flashers trigger at 1-2 volts (could be wrong). LED's pull very little power so you get a hyper-flash when using LED"s for turns with a regular flasher relay. LED flashers trigger at just 0.2 volts which eliminates that hyper-flash.
Now the price is another issue. $25 a bulb means I spent almost $200 in indicator lighting alone. So you make that choice.
ProTip: Don't use them for your alternator/generator idiot light |
