"Bob" Its been a LONG time, glad that the oldies are still treating you well! Thanks for the kind words!
Pig-pen-
These are ready to move. I just need to build an ad. I won't post it here on this thread as I don't think this is the appropriate place for it. In the mean time folks are welcome to contact via pm and we can hammer out details there. There are 29 sets left in this first batch.
Amber up top is just fine. |

Question for ya Chip
I have a set of heart lights for my 54, I just need to buy the brackets to mount to the fender. my question is does your kit come with different brackets to mount to the fender. I'm about to buy a set of repops for $130 plus shipping, will they work or does your kit replace them, thanks, Louis

My lights do not come with brackets. Something will need to be fabbed to hold them. I hope to offer them in the future, but can not at this time the lights each have 2 mounting points. I currently have a very trimmed down bracket for my housing and will need to build some tabs off of it to hold the lights. Best advise i can give is to buy some nasty brackets someone is replacing and butcher to suit your needs, don't buy the new ones if you plan to run these lights, they will need major trimming to work.

Chip B.,
What are the functions available? I currently have the Hearts as turn signals and the other for park/brake. And, What will be your estimated cost? Would like a set out here in Hawaii.
Aloha |

Is there any movement on mounting brackets yet? Are there any owners who have mounted these? And do you have photos.

Will these work on either 6 volt or 12 volt? Will it affect the brightness of the leds? Will it come with instructions regarding wiring and jumper configuration?
Do you have pictures of your trimmed down brackets just so we know what is involved.
Many Thanks
Paul |

I just installed Chips LEDs on my 54. I ended up running relays for both the brake and running lights and I am very pleased with how bright the tail lights are.
For brackets I cut down a pair of heart brackets that I had and they worked out fine.

How come you had to use relays? Have you made them as indicators? Do you have any pictures of your cut brackets?  |

After I cleaned all my connectors and had the tail lights wired and functioning I still was not a 100% satisfied with the result.
I took a voltage check and I only had 4 volts to the tail lights. Everything else on the car reads at 6 volts.
Rather than change the harness out at this time I decided to run relays and put off changing the harness.
I don't have pictures of the brackets. I will take some for you.
