Red LED Warning Light

[Tom Wesenberg]

If anyone needs a red warning light, these LED's are great and work fine on 6 or 12 volts. I just got my first order and tested them, then placed another order, as I'm sure they will come in handy for many uses. You can even use it as a test light, or clip it across the points to watch it flash as the points open and close to confirm they are working correctly. Also can be used to show power for B/W overdrive.

Get it right Hong Kong

I got a big red LED that flashes and magnetic I would stick on my driving chassis rear cross. At least I had some safety equipment.

Tom, do they work on positive ground set ups? I bought some other led's but wouldn't work on positive ground.

On my dash rail I wanted to hide my warning lights. I replaced all of the slotted screws with polished stainless phillips head screws and drilled 1/8" holes through some of them. I then slid LED bulbs in from the threaded end and put them in place. I used green for the directionals and blue for the high beam. I think I should have cleaned the lens on my cellphone before I took the pictures!

Yes, they have two wires, red and black, so you can connect to the right polarity.
I'm going to use one it indicate when the power is left on for my electric lifts on my large outdoor tool box.
Since the polarity has to reverse direction, I'll have to run the LED power through a bridge rectifier and from that to the LED.

Very cool bettlesr now that's neat, i forget if you showed me those at the Hellertown show.
You are the LED king

What is the best and brightest stop light system for safety, that fits in the left-side drum taillight for a late 1929 (Red, Amber and clear)? The various Model "A" catelogs offer the following: Regular 32 candle bulb to replace the original 21 candle power bulb, a halogen 50 watt bulb or LED replacement. My goal is to not change the exterior appearance. I intend to use the original generator only. - Warren

First, WELCOME to VFF Warren!!

Warren, there is made a 6v Pos chassis LED which is very bright for the stock Model A. Not exactly sure who makes it or where you can buy it, and I KNOW that if you use it for the drum taillight you will need to modify both the light and the internal parts of the drum taillight. So, they are available and WAY brighter than anything else.

I purchased 2 from these guys.

Mitch:
Yes I did show them to you at Hellertown. Also had LED bolts holding on the rear license plates to use as backup lights. As I have an F150 trans, the backup light switch was already there.

[Mitch]

Yea i remember those

[CarlG]

I also have the F150 transmission. They aren't LED's, but this is how my back-up lights came out.

Question to bettlesr: did you have to alter the switch on the transmission to get it to clear the floorboard? Seems rather tight there.

[Supergnat]

Welcome Warren. I actually purchased one those Bratton's LED taillite mods that Mitch mentioned. I don't recalling having to modify the taillight at all. I did install a piece of soft foam rubber to keep the circuit boards from vibrating around. I used a 4 incl hold saw to cut the shape cnd then trimmed the foam as needed. Unfortunately I did not take any photos. It is much brigther now. Supergnat

Same thing different colors,

[bettlesr]

CarlG;
No, I didn't have to modify the floor boards (I don't think anyway!). I used the cable and plug that came with the trans. Next time I get under the car I will take a look. Maybe the plywood was cut to clear it and the metal plate around the shifter just covers it? Really don't remember. I do remember the wires on the cable were a little short so I had to splice the wires in a very tight place

[Tom Wesenberg]

I went to the link that Mike V. posted and ordered 2 sets of the green LED lights. They came today, so I tested them right away. They work fine, and will light up nice and bright on voltage from 3 to at least 13 volts. These are very nice indicator lights, and at a good price.
